Quotes & Sayings About Praising God With Music

And I do, god, how I do love playing live, it's the most primal form of energy release you can share with other people besides having sex or taking drugs. So if you see a good live show on drugs and then later that evening have sex, you're basically covered all the bases of energy release, and we all need to let off steam.

THE BEAUTY OF GOD. Is there certain music that gives you deep joy? Is there a view or landscape that does the same?

David's supreme priority is "to gaze on the beauty of the Lord" (verse 4). "Gazing" is not a one-time glimpse but a steady, sustained focus.

To sense God's beauty in the heart is to have such pleasure in him that you rest content. Prayer: — Timothy Keller
