Music Starts My Little Church

Music starts my little church
   And bids us goers "come forward" -
Timid and cleansing at first -
   Bringing voices to one accord

Then her voice waxing loud
   And the piano's tempo
Make the atmosphere bound
   To become a crescendo

Where our song meets Him above
   And the sweet chorus repeats.
Did such music greet Asaph
   At the foot of heaven's gates?

Had to google Asaph, the rock n roller of that time. Doesn't music heal the soul.

Dear Amy, I wanted to take a moment to express my admiration for your poem, The imagery you’ve blended throughout is truly captivating, showing the power of music to uplift and unite. The way you describe the music as the catalyst for communal worship, guiding hesitant voices to harmonize in one accord, is both striking and inspiring. There was a time when I was the worship leader for a church for 9 years. I agree with how you show the impact music can have on the soul. God Bless, Daniel
