Extravagant Worship!

I was challenged to write for a woman who invited me to her poetry contest while I wrote whatever moved me, "the music that moves pens".  What a great creative idea!  I decided I would take her up on it and decided that tonight was the night.  I sat down and chose one of her links and I was pleasantly surprised by the treat of listening to The Piano Guys rendition of the Carole of the Bells as they played on cellos.  Not only was it musically moving and gorgeous, but the creativity of the YouTube video was beautiful as well...

The topic of worship is one that is close to my heart as I love music that moves me to worship the one from whom it all came...I want to discuss this further at some point, but for now I will leave you with the result of my ready pen at the sound of beautiful strains wafting through my ears and heart...

Music makes my heart swell and surge
To the poema deep inside my soul,
Such beauty, such awesome wonder--
Liquid prayers pour forth and weave a path down my cheeks and--
     I worship the One from whom all things come!

Though the wonder of silence has it's own lovliness,
The Carole of the bells spring forth from haunting cells
Moving my spirit to a sacred place, a hush of peace
Transcending time, crescednoing to a heavenly throne, and--
     I worship the One from whom all things come!

Oh, the strains of the highs and lows
Notes that bend and blend, weave in and out.
Rhythms ebbing and flowing expertly in and through
Rising and falling into one masterpiece, and--
     I worship the One from whom all things come!

As waves recede and crash to shores around the globe
And babies and bird's calls fill vacant air
Oh no, I will not be undone, the rocks won't have to cry out
I too will rejoin with arms uplifted to the Maker of all this, as--
     I worship the One from whom all things come!
