00:00:00 --> 00:00:04 There's a reason songs are referred to as mood music.

00:00:05 --> 00:00:08 We explore this concept more in today's episode.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:09 Tune in.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:14 Hello and welcome to Momo 634,

00:00:14 --> 00:00:21 the daily podcast chock full of faith-filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:22 --> 00:00:26 Momo 634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47 Throughout the history of this podcast,

00:00:47 --> 00:00:51 I've mentioned music as a critical tool in the arsenal of one

00:00:52 --> 00:00:52 fighting the good

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54 fight against mood issues.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56 Further,

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58 in the episode It Hurts,

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59 H-E-R-T-Z,

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03 I discussed secular music specifically and how loud,

00:01:04 --> 00:01:09 drummy songs seemed to knock my misfiring neurons back into line.

00:01:10 --> 00:01:11 The episode,

00:01:11 --> 00:01:13 Soothing the Savage Beast,

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15 talks about music's effect on mood,

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18 something known throughout the ages.

00:01:19 --> 00:01:24 In this episode, I want to focus especially on music for the soul.

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27 Last night at our midweek service,

00:01:27 --> 00:01:31 we sang one of my absolute favorite hymns,

00:01:31 --> 00:01:33 Sing to Me of Heaven.

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37 What I love most about this song is that it talks about how

00:01:38 --> 00:01:39 focusing on our real goal,

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41 a life in heaven with God,

00:01:41 --> 00:01:45 can help us transcend our sorrows and trials here.

00:01:46 --> 00:01:48 Listen to verses 1 and 3.

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51 Sing to me of heaven.

00:01:52 --> 00:01:53 Sing that song of peace.

00:01:54 --> 00:01:58 From the toils that bind me, it will bring release.

00:01:59 --> 00:02:03 Burdens will be lifted that are pressing so,

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05 showers of great blessing,

00:02:06 --> 00:02:07 or my heart will flow.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:10 Sing to me of heaven,

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13 tenderly and low,

00:02:13 --> 00:02:17 till the shadows o'er me rise and swiftly go.

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20 When my heart is weary,

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22 when the day is long,

00:02:23 --> 00:02:24 sing to me of heaven,

00:02:25 --> 00:02:27 sing that old sweet song.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:33 James 5.13 says, Is any among you suffering?

00:02:34 --> 00:02:34 Let him pray.

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36 Is anyone cheerful?

00:02:37 --> 00:02:39 Let him sing praise.

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42 Throughout my Christian life,

00:02:42 --> 00:02:46 during some of the hardest times and during some of the most

00:02:46 --> 00:02:47 joyful moments,

00:02:47 --> 00:02:52 songs of praise have played a part in helping me move through them.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:55 Look at the book of Psalms.

00:02:55 --> 00:03:00 It did the same for King David and others in that period of time,

00:03:00 --> 00:03:03 and we have them recorded for our benefit today.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:07 In fact, many of our hymns are built on the Psalms.

00:03:09 --> 00:03:10 Our meme for today says,

00:03:11 --> 00:03:11 like books,

00:03:12 --> 00:03:16 music can transport us to worlds unknown.

00:03:17 --> 00:03:20 What are some of your favorite songs for the soul?

00:03:20 --> 00:03:22 List them below in the comments.
