There is song that rises from the depths of my spirit when I spend time alone with the Lord. It is not a song that will be recoded on an album, sung in a church service or played on the radio, but it is song that comes from a heart of praise that God delights in. It may not be in the right key or have the correct tone, but the heart behind the song is what brings such delight to the One in whom we sing. There is no intimidation when there is intimacy, so the sound is less important than the words of the song you sing.

I am sensing in the spirit the Lord is less concerned with our song writing sessions with other people and more interested in our song singing sessions with Him. When is the last time you sang a song to Him about what was in your heart. Songs carry great weight in the spirit, for they declare who He is to us, not for others to hear, but for Him and Him alone. I live in a city where many songs are written, produced, and awarded, but how many people sing or write songs not to be heard by people but as a gift to God alone?

Little choruses that repeat bring Him great joy; words don’t need to rhyme or follow a meter, when it is your heart singing it has a sound that the radio does not understand, but God does. Psalm 40 says it this way, “A new song for a new day rises up in me every time I think about how he breaks through for me! Ecstatic praise pours out of my mouth until everyone hears how God has set me free. Many will see his miracles; they’ll stand in awe of God and fall in love with him!”

Sing my friends, sing with all your heart, sing softly, sing loudly, but let what is inside of you come out in song. It changes your view of God and your situation; sing, let a song come out of you; it creates a breakthrough in you, that comes out of you. Sing to Him, He loves to hear your voice. Sing, sing, sing, there is song in you He wants to hear come out of you. A song just between you and Him.
