This priest’s voice made my face flush and my hair stand on end.

I don’t go to church. I wasn’t raised in any religion though my family did go to a Protestant church every once in a while at Easter and Christmas. I’ve been on my own spiritual path most of my life.

However, I love church music—most music, in fact.

My feet tap to the beat, my hands clap, my eyes close, colors flood my mind and a smile generally spreads from ear to ear. Tears sometimes well up and I’m not afraid to let them fall down my cheeks. Oh and I have no fear of singing if I know the words (even if I don’t) much to the dismay of my 10 year old.

Music, I think, brings us to a deeply spiritual place and has the power to change our lives if we let it.

This wedding video made me stop and beam. I hope it does the same for you. What a wonderful gift for this bride and groom on their special day.
