Sounds of Melodies...

Been listening to this new band Leeland. They are really good musically but sing some really great, authentic worship to our Lord. I wanted to give you some of the lyrics to their latest single Sounds of Melodies. This is how it goes:

WE WHO WERE CALLED TO BE YOUR PEOPLE
STRUGGLING SINNERS AND THIEVES
WERE LIFTED UP FROM THE ASHES
AND OUT CAME THE SONG OF THE REDEEMED
THE SONG OF THE REDEEMED

CAN YOU HEAR THE SOUND OF MELODIES
OH THE SOUND OF MELODIES
RISING UP TO YOU
RISING UP TO YOU GOD

THE SOUND OF YOUR LOVE
THE SOUND OF YOUR LOVE
IS WHAT YOURE HEARING
THE SOUND OF YOUR SONS
THE SOUND OF YOUR SONS
YOUVE WON YOUR CHILDREN
THE SOUND OF YOUR LOVE
THE SOUND OF YOUR LOVE
IS WHAT YOURE HEARING
YOUR DAUGHTERS IN LOVE
YOUR DAUGHTERS IN LOVE
YOUVE WON YOUR CHILDREN

I really relate to this song, especially as struggling sinners and thieves. But it is awesome for us to remember that by God's grace we have been saved and lifted from the ashes. The question we have to ask ourselves is what is our response to that grace? Do we have the sounds of melodies being lifted up to God in our lives? Is God hearing the sound of His love from us?

Take a look at Romans 5:1-2 and rejoice that God has won us as His children.
