Anyone that knows me, knows that music is my thing. I can recite lyrics from well over 3 decades ago, yet I cannot remember why I walked into the kitchen this morning…LOL. I basically have a soundtrack playing to my life at all times. I will hear lyrics and music while people are talking to me, I am not sure if it is healthy to be honest, but it can be funny at times.

I turned my music life over to the Lord about 12 years ago, I do have to say this was a struggle for me. I loved mainstream music, not for the lyrics, but mainly for the beats. They were so compelling. I had a friend share with me that of course the world’s music would be so compelling and hard to lay down; Satan was in charge of worship when he was an angel in heaven and he was beautiful. Why would his music here on earth be any different? (mind-blown)
Today, I cannot stand most mainstream music, it irritates my soul for the most part. I can say this is only because I have been abiding in Christian music for now over a decade. I have learned there are many different genres to contemporary Christian music as well that can help appease my many styles of worship. I listen to the usual artists you will hear on 95.1 Bright FM, however I now know of Christian rappers and those artists like Maverick City that full on worship and linger in the Holy Spirit.
When I was asked what is the song within my heart, my mind had so many come forward, however I had to go back to a full on basic. One that I have known since I was a child coming up in the Baptist Church. One that lives in a hymnal. One that Jesus sowed into my heart as a child and began having me sing in 2019, randomly, out loud, in my house, constantly. “Oh, how I love Jesus”
This song is so simple and yet so deep and rich in meaning but it is a constant reminder of truly how much I am loved by Jesus. This song keeps me grounded and my heart focused on the one who is Love, Jesus. I pray you listen and be reminded of how loved you are by Jesus as well.
Oh, How I love Jesus
