This Season of Worship

A dear friend of mine, at the blog Midwest Shooting Star, recently shared a short playlist of worship music that has been inspiring her in this season of her life. I was equally inspired by the songs she chose, as I was with the idea. So I've decided to make my own little version to share with you a bit of my heart.

I find that these songs speak best for themselves, without me giving them an introduction, so I'm simply linking them here and providing you with some of my favorite lyrics from each song. I hope they are as encouraging to you as they have been to me in this season of worship.

(You can find a link to a Spotify playlist with all of these songs here.)

Whispers

i'm getting tired of the whisper
i ache to see the rocks split
the mountains move
to hear the horn sound
and the thunder roar

it's so quiet now
and sometimes it feels useless
like i'm talking to myself in an empty building
with echoes dogging my heels

or i'm writing letters to no one
paying for the stamps with the last of my quarters
and mailing them to nowhere

and yet, sometimes
when i least expect it
the whisper reaches my ears
and the apathy fades
slightly

it's still not what i want
but, now, i wonder
would i know what i want
if he gave it to me

or would i complain that he's too bland and miss what he's trying to say?
