I chose this picture because it kind of embodies the feeling I get while listening and singing these songs.

I think this is a powerful picture, solely because it shows the amount of people worship songs reach out to. It's meaningful to so many people, and it's amazing to see that there are concerts dedicated to it.

"... You get a definite feeling of oneness and belongingness..." (Sylvan, 88)

"It was a quality of being with the people that was very very satisfying and very complete and kind of unconditional. The normal kind if judgments and reservations and day to day concerns that tied up your being that keep you from being with other people were just kind of blown out of the water..." (Sylvan, 95)

"... The less attempt to pattern the experience with your conscious mind, the more open you are to what is in a situation, the better of you are and the more the possibility that something unexpectedly beautiful will reveal itself to you." (Sylvan, 112)

Where and with what kind of musical experiences do you find the concept of “music and spirituality” intersecting for you most powerfully? How do our case studies (Gregorian chant, Sacred Harp singing, and Grateful Dead Concerts) inform your own concepts of music and spirituality?

I am not a religious person, but I decided to answer this question because the most powerful spiritual experience I have had with music was at a church service. That day I remember walking into church thinking I would absolutely hate it. Then I started to hear people sing before the service started and because the lyrics were on a screen, I began to sing a long. In that moment, I let go, and I honestly felt instantly connected with God. I began to look around and saw other's with one hand on their heart, the other up to the sky, and tears streaming down their face. This experience helped me realize how powerful music can really be. Since then, I have actually listened to a few worship songs on my own time here and there, in both Spanish and English. Every time I listen to one of these songs, my heart feels warm and happy, it's an amazing feeling. It takes my worries, and stress away as well, and it helps me feel like I will be okay. I definitely found the music from the case studies interesting. It's interesting to see how different people receive spiritual experiences with different types of music, and I think that's great!

Some people categorize this as not worship, some people do, but like all music people can interpret it any way they like. Many churches have taken this song, and have integrated it into their worship and praise set lists. Personally I think it's a good example of how one genre can mix with another, despite on how differently they are looked at.

In Bars & Battles, a new series from Elevation Church, we'll be exploring what it really looks like to be honest, raw, and real with God. Through the Psalms that he wrote, we'll take an uncensored look at King David's life and see that our praise doesn't always have to be pretty.

I stumbled upon this song when I saw a cover a girl had made while sitting in her car. (Maybe some of you have seen it.) I was intrigued by the lyrics and the song itself, so I decided to look it up, and I fell in love with it. As I was listening to it, I honestly cried. I listen to this song quite often, especially when I feel like I need some faith. In this video you can see how many people are touched by this song. They are all singing together, and in some instances you can see the passion of the audience, and you can definitely see it and hear it in the artist.
