Gracious God, thank you for the gift of music.
The melodies are a language all their own.
When words are added we can sing your praises, or express our sorrow, embrace your forgiveness, or discover your faithfulness.
Thank you for the gift of song writers, musicians, singers and choir directors; through their God given gifts they share - each in their own way - your hope, joy, peace and presence with the world.
Amen.
