Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul

I've been thinking a lot lately. Especially about music and the impact it has had on my life. There's something about it thats well, magical. I say magical because for each one of us it speaks deep down to our souls. Not all music is the same and the impact it has can influence us for good or bad. I find that I have a HUGE musical selection on my ipod. What I listen to is very dependant on my mood. Sometimes I just want to listen to songs that I can relate to whether it be about dating, dreaming, relationships, family, the future/past, school, work, mistakes i've made, goals i have, etc. Sometimes I just want something angry that will help me to just let my anger out without saying something hurtful to those I care about...or just something that will get me pumped up to workout at the gym. Other times I may just want something uplifting that helps me keep things in perspective. But, no matter what I listen to, it impacts me in one way or another.  It amazes me how much better or worst I feel after what I listen to. I'm grateful for music and good music at that. I was looking back at a couple of songs that I wrote and I hope they can be as inspirational for you as others have been for me. They are very near and dear to my heart. Some say that "music is the universal language of mankind... and ...that it expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent." On that note, enjoy these:

"Gods Gift"

Vs 1:
You're the gift God sent
An answer to prayer
When things get tough, you're constantly there.
You're the strength I need, to keep me strong,
The light in my life to keep movin' on.

Vs 2:
Memories made will forever last
The times we shared were a blast
You lift my heart up to the sky,
Spread my wings so I can fly
And in my heart you'll always be,
A friend for time & eternity.

Chorus:
God knows our needs
He hears out plea
Thats why you were sent to me
You're the angel from above
Who opened my heart to your love.

*This next song doesn't have a name yet.*
Vs 1:
They tell me I'm so amazing
That they just can't see
What it is those other guys
Just don't like in me.

Vs 2:
They say I should be married
Oh, "You're quite the catch"
But if thats true, all they say
Why is it I can't seem to find my match?

Vs 3:
Oh he's out there somewhere
Across the deep blue sea
Wondering whats with all those other girls
And why he can't find me.

Vs 4:
I know we'll be together someday
For time and all eternity
But until that day comes
I will wait patiently

Vs 5:
My love keeps growing deeper
The longer we are apart.
I'll do my best & forget the rest,
For its you who has my heart.

Vs 6:
Oh I love you dearly,
Right now you may not see,
But our life will be full of bliss
When God deems us ready to be.

Yes our life will be full of bliss, when God deems us ready to be.
