I'm Going Deeper On This

**This started out as an e-mail to everyone who participated in singing and arranging the carol that we sung on Sunday. But it quickly turned into something I did not expect so I decided to e-mail everyone in my address book here at Yahoo. So to the carolers and arrangers, Thank you. It was really fun and good to hang out a little with everyone. God has blessed us with great talent in the church.**

Here's what was coming out as I was writing my thanks

Everyone did a great job remembering the lyrics. I am quite sure that I, myself, will remember my part of the song for the rest of my years. All while being somewhat oblivious as to what everyone else was saying in the song. I must say I had to concentrate. This made me think of something interesting. I'm not gonna get all preachy and weird but check this out. This carol is a really intricate process of melodies and harmonies each having a distinct part. When each line is sung, it forms a rhythmic choral progression. Each melody or harmony is working as one to achieve the goal which is the song. With this being said, something hit me. Each of us were responsible for own part. We each had our own job to do to create the song. Look at it this way. The song could basically be recorded in separate places at separate times and as long as it is in the same rhythm and the same key. It will unite the melodies and harmonies and create one song. With that being said I decided to formulate a question to myself.

Could the melodies and harmonies represent the will of God in our lives?

Not what the words say but in how they are sung to form a song. If each of us is living out the will of God in our lives. Is it possible that Christ-like unity would flood the church? Could our lives intricately be woven together to create a beautiful song, maybe a new one? When each of our lives are walked out in Gods will we inadvertently unify ourselves with His kingdom, thus creating the new song that resonates from earth into heavenly places.
Let me explain my view about the new song. I believe the perfect will of God is harmonious and rhythmic. If we are created in His image, then we could say that God has used rhythm to represent the very essence of existence that being through a beating heart. Each of our steps walked, each of our prayers prayed is a blending of rhythmic patterns and harmonies. When we sync ourselves with Gods will in our own lives, we take part in His song as a whole. A song that will resonate from the earth when all flowing together in divine unity, not a man made strive to agree unity.
Knowing this gave me a new perspective about when people are called to other places or when I find myself worrying about things I don't need to worry about. In being oblivious to all the parts but confidently knowing my own I was able to accomplish the perfect will of this song. What if I could translate that into playing my part in Gods eternal song? What if we all, truly lay our lives down and begin to axe away at that giant log in our eyes? What if we take the proverbial finger and point it inward? How could we deeply change our lives by simply focusing on the posture of our hearts before the Lord?
I had never doubted the fact that the new song will arise. My question now is, how loud will it be? And to answer that, I would say, intense, kind of like a roar.
