Misty Edwards Music lyrics
Misty Edwards has been a worship leader and song writer at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City since May 1999; it's beginning. Her hunger for reality and depth of encounter with Jesus fuels her worship leading, songwriting and preaching. Misty is on the leadership team that trains and gives oversight to IHOP's worship leaders and prophetic singers.
Christian praise is often thought of as the music portion of a church service - people singing songs to God, eyes closed, and hands raised in the air as they sing. Christian worship happens when we sing to God, whether in church or alone - in our cars or in the shower. If our desire is to please the heart of God, it is worship, no matter where the location or how many are involved.
Misty says, "I have a great desire to see the knowledge of God flood this generation. I mean the real knowledge of God, not the distant Sunday School version but the true encounter with the Uncreated. I have devoted my life to searching Him out through His Word, prayer and fasting, and to ask Him to reveal Himself in my day and time. There's no other point for my existence but to touch the Transcendent. I believe that this is the generation who will usher in the Son of Man as we intercede from our highest identity as a Bride crying out, " Come!" unsatisfied with anything less than Him. As Eternity breaks in we will awaken the Dawn with a song and the Morning Star will rise to have His inheritance on this planet! This is all I care about."
Misty gives a vibrant and personal interpretation of christian music, with a clearly strong draw from her role as a worship leader. The musical style eminates from a subtle blend of traditional Christian music, a elements of Indie, with a popular flavor.
Music acts on our emotions and the song lyrics can appeal to our hearts, causing us to become lost in the experience. Christian praise and music is a great tool for helping us feel closer to God. It's not uncommon for people to even pick a church because of the style of its worship music. Often people will emerge from a service saying, "The worship was wonderful today," or "The sermon was great, but I was really moved by the worship."
Many are surprised to realize that the service was all about worshipping God!
