Sing It

All the words in all the world could never say enough
All the notes in my guitar could never play enough


But You've placed this song inside my heart
And all I know to do for You is sing it
No it's not much, but it's what I've got
And all I know to do for You is sing it


I have tried so hard to find the perfect melody
But nothing I could ever write comes close to Your glory


But You've placed this song inside my heart
And all I know to do for You is sing it
No it's not much, but it's what I've got
And all I know to do for You is sing it


"Sing It" by Josh Wilson


Sometimes people ask me what my favorite song is.  And I really don't have an all-time favorite.  I believe that different songs speak differently to me, depending on what season I'm in.  But this is my favorite right now.  I saw Josh Wilson play in a tiny room at a local radio station a few years ago when a tour of up-and-coming artists was in town.  And I'm so glad that I've followed him ever since, because his music is really great.  You should listen to it.  


Sing It.  I happen to be a musician, so I know exactly what he's talking about.  But I can't help but relate this to every area of my life, even the non-musical ones.  God has given each of us something to do.  Some days I actually get to sing to Him, and that's awesome.  But some days I don't.  Some days my song is doing dishes and folding laundry.  Some days it's playing with my son at the park or putting him in time-out.  Some days it's working in the office and making copies.  Whatever He's given me to do that day, he wants me to give it back to Him.  


He's put a song in all of us.  And whatever we can do will never come close to His glory, but He's asked us to give it to Him anyway.  


So what's your song?  Don't sit on it.  SING it. 


It's not much, but it's what I've got
And all I know to do for You is sing it
