What is your song?

Imagine if you will, that the person you are can be likened to music. I believe that a talented composer could create the most amazing melody using any one person as an inspiration.

So what is your song? What kind of music would portray your song? Perhaps a quiet and simple piano piece? Or would it be an elaborate, complex and colourful symphony? Maybe you’re a beat droppin’, dup steppin’ funky dance tune, or perhaps a leather-jeans power ballad? And what if you were a high energy, heavy metal guitar solo?

What do you suppose the lyrics would be like? Would it be a sad song? Or an empowering and inspirational feel-good melody? Would it be dark and mysterious? Aggressive and dedicated?

And who would feature in your music? Perhaps for many of us it could include a dedication to the memory of someone irreplaceable? Maybe a beautiful chorus of a large group of friends and family? Or maybe it’s just you for now?

The amazing thing is that the music never stops. It will change and have various contrasting movements elaborating as you grow. Perhaps becoming more and more complex, or possibly simplifying until it gets to the raw emotion.

Let me venture out and say that no matter what it sounds like, what genre it is or what the words are, it is a beautiful song, because it is YOUR song. No one can take it away. And whatever it is, Jesus is singing your song...

...and He’s the greatest musician I know.
