We Give Thanks For Music

Let us lift up our thoughts and prayers.
All that is holy, loving and true:
We give thanks for music,
for those who make a joyful noise with their voice.
We give thanks for music,
for those who make a joyful noise with their instrument.
We give thanks for music,
for those who make a joyful noise on the radio and on records.
We give thanks for music,
for those who make a joyful noise even when they’re singing the blues.
We give thanks for music,
for those of us who think we make a joyful noise when we sing in the shower.
Now and forevermore:
Let it be. So be it. And: Amen.
