Music is worship

Today, I offer some links to various musical offerings to inspire and refresh your soul. 
St. Augustine is attributed with saying "He who sings prays twice."

Here are a group of Nashville artists singing "It is Well with My Soul", via the magic of technology.  

The Cathedral of St. John musicians are posting daily videos of music offerings on YouTube. 

Here is Mahalia Jackson singing "My Faith Looks up to Thee". 

The Magnificat by Polyphony: Voices of NM with setting by Mary Badarak.

Even the birds are getting in on the act-Bird Song Opera.

A Mennonite choir singing "We are Not Alone" is beautiful. (I'd never heard the song before, but it's worth a listen.)

Assorted songs by John Michael Talbot can be found on YouTube.

Several folks are participating in #quaranTUNEchallenge. 

If you have found some especially inspiring music, feel free to share it.
