"Listen to the Sound"

I have to say there are some songs that just get stuck in your head and you cant stop singing them randomly (while in the shower, working, driving, typing a blog on the computer).  Usually the song gets annoying or sometimes you never liked it in the first place, EXample: stay away from Bieber! Yet, this song has totally won me over, I love it.  It gets me pumped and still delivers a solid message. It makes me want to share God's word with others, powerfully and be confident in doing it.
It has a message for those who find themselves lost, who are in that place where no one possibly knows what kind of mess your in, and no one cares.  For those who think they are walking a path alone, that its just them to face the world on their own. "Listen to the Sound", "of hoping thats rising up!" HOPE- being the message that though in circumstances in life where we feel alone (been there myself), God is right there with us, he never leaves, and he loves you, and its a unconditional love that will never go away.
The song also talks to those who are struggling with God's plan for their life (which hits home for me also), "sometimes it takes the silence, to finally hear his plans." Just read a book about Prayer life and the foundations of prayer (worshiping and thanking god, cleansing, prayer for others, prayer for self, and meditation) To just listen and let God speak to you, it may not be literally(or in some cases it might be, ex. Moses :P), but how often to we just meditate on him. (or put down everything and take time to be silent and focus on God)
My favorite part of the song is near the end, ( I like to get real into like the singer, and whale out on it) but also I picture myself passionately telling everyone in those situations that "His grace is reaching for us, his grace is reaching out" God's Grace- His gift of Jesus dying on the cross in place for our sins, we didnt earn that gift, it was free, and only by grace our we forgiven. *The hook to this powerful verse is that we dont search for his grace, we dont reach out for it. We dont look for God or have to find him. He is there, and not only there, he is there waiting and reaching out his arms for you.  The all powerful God of the universe, who created all things (including you) is not only approachable but is reaching out with his free gift of grace for you.  He loves you and wants to spend forever with you in his saving grace.........."Listen to Sound"

Listen to it, like it, thank me for it later :P
