As I write this, I am selecting my song list for my youth group this coming Friday. I'm set to lead our youth band in seven praise and worship songs. As I listen to prospective songs on iTunes, I am surprised at the shift in my mood from a mere half an hour ago when I wasn't listening to music.
Having scanned through eight or nine songs, I am find myself in a state of "pre-worship" (for lack of a better term). My heart is much more prepared to submit to God and worship Him in this instant.
This leads me to wonder though- what is it about music that can affect our emotions on such a deep level? The mood of a song can be like a wave that floods our own feelings. Words are powerful, but when set to the right soundtrack, they can be a wrecking ball. They can bring even the hardest of hearts down to their knees.
You are too right with that statement, their are no beter words to desribe the affect of music on peoples emotions.
