Rebecca St. James told, “When I was growing up, I often stayed at my grandparents’ house. They owned a beautiful, multistoried house, with flower gardens and fruit trees. It was such a comfort to go to that house because no matter how things changed around me, this place always stayed the same. One of the sweetest things was waking up in the morning to the familiar sound of the birds singing outside my window. For the most part they were rainbow lorikeets, whose song is more like a screech than anything else, but to my ears it was beautiful. Beautiful, because of what it represented – a sonic reminder of memories there in that old house. To God’s ears, the birds’ singing is also beautiful, because it represents their song of love to him – a song of gratefulness for life and a new day! The birds’ singing also teaches us that it doesn’t matter how we sound when we sing to God. It matters only that our hearts are singing our own unique song of worship to him. “Song Of Love” is my way of expressing my love to Jesus”.
