as you raise your voice,
may your heart sing out,
joyous melodies rising to God.
may you connect with the heart of god
drawn into his presence
drawn as water from a well,
taken with intent and purpose
used in the hands of the one
who drew you.
may you be refreshed
restored
bathed in the blood of Christ
a new creation,
born again in this moment.
may the condition of your soul
overflow before the Father
your joys and sorrows both before him.
may you sing from the depths of who you are
and be assured
that he is listening.
