Gospel Music’s Touch

When it comes to music, one of my favorite types would be gospel music. It is one of my favorites because I am able to relate to it more and find a peace in it. In times of trouble there are songs that let me know that everything is going to be alright and songs made to motivate and uplift my spirit from whatever is causing it to feel its heartache and depressed state of mind. However, in the same aspect, there are songs that awaken, energize, and make me feel wholesome.

With gospel music, I can always find surprise in how the words and melodies are able to touch people from across the border and nations. Although we may not all speak the same language, I love how there are songs that you can find in any language and be able to translate it to the one you speak. Not only that, but one of my favorite aspects of gospel music is that it connects and brings people together. At my church, we have learned songs that have French, Spanish, English, and Creole parts so that no one is left behind or forgotten.

Gospel music ensures that everyone is felt welcome and know that there is someone who understands. It guarantees a helping hand and shoulder to lean on when times get tough and a source of motivation for when you’re feeling down. In times of celebration and gladness gospel music not only lifts up but escalates a joy that no other person can deem possible.

No form of gospel music is exactly the same, and each variety is made so that each person can tune in to what grabs their attention and keep them interested. Each style of gospel music in essence portrays one message whether you’re from different parts of the world, race, or ethnicity, but reveal the truth that some are too afraid to say or share and that’s what gospel music has conveyed not only for me but others throughout life.
