Many of our hymns and spiritual songs are composed as rhyming poems that make them easy to learn and remember. But instead, this Sunday’s special music, “Speak, O Lord,” with almost no rhyming lines, is structured as musical couplet phrases such as “Speak, O Lord as we come to You,” which is paired with: “To receive the food of Your holy word.” The next couplet phrase follows: “Take Your truth, plant it deep in us,” paired with: “Shape and fashion us in Your likeness.” That pattern of asking/expecting continues for the entire song, so, as you listen, pray the words along with FUSION as they sing. Do not be passive and just listen! But rather, be active and pray the phrases and make them your own as a personal prayer – speaking with God, and expecting Him to speak with you.
