Raise your voice in song!
Sing praises God who offers strength and comfort.
Listen to the rhythm of God in the beat of the drums,
Feel God’s presence in the strum of a guitar,
Sing God’s praises with all the strength your voice can muster.
Sing praise for the changing seasons,
Greet each morning with song,
Let your songs of praise ring out throughout the day,
Acknowledge the stages of the moon
and the stages of life
with the music of your soul.
As you sing listen for the voice calling out to you,
Adding depth and harmony to your song.
Listen for God in your music, singing:
“I call out to you in love,
do you hear me?
I am here with you in times of trouble,
enfolding you in my love.
I call out to you to love,
Do you hear me?
Care for your friends and neighbours,
care for all my creation.
Listen for my voice,
pulsing through your life.
I am here to offer you guidance and strength.
I am here to show you the way.
When you are lost
listen for my voice.
I am here with you.
I am here for you.”
