Again: Music

I've long had a fondness for the church hymns.  Music really was created to reach our souls.  But somehow, the church hymns have a way of reaching not only our souls, but our hearts, our minds and all that is good within us.

I felt privileged today to witness such a moment.  A member of our ward sang a somewhat less familiar hymn in Sacrament meeting.  This particular hymn is discernibly valuable to him.  He had difficulty maintaining his composure and actually couldn't sing in several instances.  He recovered barely enough to finish the last phrase.

Mine wasn't the only eye spilling over.

Yes, spiritual music:  created to lift our souls with goodness.
