Things that thrill my soul

People like being thrilled. This topic came up last week in my Friday morning men’s Bible study/accountability group. We are attracted to things that provide us with excitement and awe: beautiful mountains, Tchaicovsky’s 1812 Overture, great art, awe-inspiring movie sequences (read: the last hour of Transformers), a beautiful sunset.

Few things thrill my soul as much as a good hymn or song of praise well-sung. A clear, majestic rendition of A Mighty Fortress or O Worship the King, for example. Or a new favorite of mine, And Can It Be. Tonight at church we closed the service with Crown Him with Many Crowns.

These songs are beautiful. They fill the heart with great thoughts, thoughts of the majesty of the God of whom they speak.

A great God deserves great songs to be sung in His praise.
