I have written a lot and still do write songs. I used to wonder why God gave me so many songs with no contact to publish them or get them out to the world except the few places I’ve attended church. I used to want the world to hear my songs and use them to worship God or mean something to them or help them. I used to want to tour the world and sing my songs to help other people who have been through similar problems or who need to worship God with a new song or voice. This was my passion for many years. Now, as an old lady (39 really), married with kids, I realize something. God gave me those songs as a gift for me and my worship and growth. If people want to share them, great. But we are told to “Sing to the Lord a new song.” So, we all are supposed to be worshiping God the way He gives us to do it. It is life-giving. It is instructional. It is our duty. It is amazing. Write them down if you can to remember God’s play on your life just then. If you’re driving down the road and can’t write them, sing them out unabashed because you are given them. We all have a song to sing and we all have one God to whom all songs belong.
