The Heart of David: The Course of Abraham

This is not an original poem, but a poem I found in the Attic of a house in Nashville that was condemned. I took it from the house and made it a ritual to pray before writing, composing, or recording. It is the prayer prayed while getting baptized in the Jordan River, in Israel. It is the prayer prayed before any live performance. This is the Musician’s Prayer.

The Musician’s Prayer:

God, please bless my music that it might glorify your name
May using it to serve you always be my AIM
Let it be a witness to your majesty
And love
And remind us that you’re watching from your throne above
May others see your beauty in every note they hear,
And when they hear my music may they feel your presence near
Oh Lord, I ask for guidance in everything I do
And I pray you will make my music an instrument for you!
