Original! Electrifying! Beautiful! The messages in the lyrics were so very relevant to our times. And you phrased them so poetically. You are a philosopher/prophet.

There is no single type of sacred musical form. Rather, it's a series of blog entries on Messianic Worship Music theory and its effects on the human spirit. It's an exploration of my relationship with the church and music. In this article, we'll discuss four ways Messianic Music can enrich your life. By the time you've finished reading, you'll have an understanding of how to apply the teachings of Jesus to music.
For starters, I find that Messianic Music tends to be more 'in the head', as opposed to classical music, which tends to be more in the body. This is very good because while the latter tends to make people feel emotional or even spiritual about things, the former inspires people to think seriously about deeper things - i.e., matters of the soul. Classical music, on the other hand, usually inspires people to focus on just the notes. People may hum along to it or even dance to it (most people do, at least some of the time), but the only thing they can really focus on is the notes. In a way, it's almost like a dance.
Secondly, Messianic Music is often inspirational, because it tends to deal with issues such as hope and overcoming despair. This is very similar to Christian worship - you sing praise and petition to God and hope that he will raise you and strengthen you. But in Messianic Music, you're not just hoping or praying, but you sing to God about your problems and your pains! This can be healing! If you're an alcoholic, for example, you might read the Word of God and feel quite horrible about yourself - but then you might read about the Word of God and be inspired to stop drinking.
Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, Messianic Music makes you feel good about yourself. Even if you're not a believer, you have hopes and dreams, and often, you don't know what the future has in store for you. And being able to sing praises to God in your own church (and share it with others) fills you with hope, and with the knowledge that things are going to be great. It gives you a great sense of personal satisfaction. It doesn't matter if you're not a Christian, but Christian music fills you with the same positive feelings.
