The Love Language of Music

During the season of Lent as we have been exploring the Love Languages of Lent, I have been curious about a soundtrack that might accompany us. I didn't come up with one as such. Yet this week as we read together the gospel for this coming Sunday March 22, 2026 John 11:1-45- (Lazarus being raised from the dead) the four songs at the bottom of this post came to mind.

I am attaching the music videos from YouTube for each of them. There will likely be an advertisement at beginning and hopefully it doesn't distract you. I invite you to listen to and look at each video as we come toward the end of this season and this preaching series. Just a note that in the song One by Birdtalker, there is some explicit language. I hope it doesn't take away from the experience of the powerful images in the message of that song.

What would be a playlist you might put together to express what is on your heart and in your mind? I would love to hear from you. Click on the bolded text below to see the videos on YouTube.

+I hope this song is an invitation to slow down.

+In a time of war I hope this song helps to convey how all of humanity is connected. I love so many of the images in this video.

+There is a lot of pain, sorrow and hurt in our world and as people of faith we can both acknowledge it and place all of ourselves and our concerns over to the care of God.

+Joy can be a form of resistance to the fears that might shut us up or shut us down I hope this song can be an anthem for you. Maybe this one might even get you to dance
