Jesus Anthem

I choose Jesus!

My Jesus Anthem! As I continue on my spiritual journey, I notice that most of my daily thoughts are focused on God. If I’m home, I pray often, read spiritually enlightening books, prepare for my Friday morning prayer group and other studies. When out and about, I enjoy listening to music in the car. Not only do I enjoy the beat of the music but I focus more on the words of a song and I try to relate it all back to God.

My desire to find God in all things, especially music, stems from my teaching CCD. I wanted to find a way for my students to shift their focus from things of “the world” to God. The first challenge I posed was with music. They were to find popular songs and see if they could be related to God. I wanted to try to get them to see God and think of God throughout their day, not just on Sunday.

I get so excited when I hear a popular song on the radio that I can turn into a “religious” song. Like the One Call Away by Charlie Puth I blogged about before. Today, I want to share I Choose You by Sara Bareilles. It’s a beautiful song. It’s my song to Jesus. My Jesus Anthem! Listen here.
