My lips will shout for joy
when I sing praise to you—
I whom you have delivered.
Psalm 71:23
New International Version (NIV)
Music can be used in many ways and my mission during the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge of 2012 was to show some of the ways contemporary music has been used to sing to God and about God and the Christian faith. I think I met my mission with success and I hope those of you who read my entries and listened to the songs I provided as examples enjoyed what I presented and perhaps were even inspired in some way.
Sharing favorite music has always been something I've enjoyed doing. The beauty of doing it on a blog is your choice to listen or not. When I've done music sharing with car companions or visitors to my house I don't know that it's always been appreciated and may have even been an imposition. If you chose to stay and listen to the music I thank you.
If this is your first visit here or if you missed any or all of my April offerings, I invite you to check some of them out. I'd like to get your thoughts on any of the musical selections or any of my commentary. For the sake of proper disclosure, I will say that music is not the norm on this blog. Typically at A Few Words you will only find Sunday posts that reflect upon some passage from Psalms and then offer some similarly themed passage from another part of the Bible. I try to keep the posts short and presented in a few words.
If you are not a follower of this blog and might like to return, please click on the "Join This Site" button in the sidebar. This poor neglected blog had very few followers prior to the A to Z Challenge and increased the following by over 75 of you wonderful people during the course of April. Of course it didn't hurt that I asked for followers. Thank you and I hope you will continue to visit now and then.
