As we already know, music has the power to influence. This means that the lyrics of a song can lead you to do things or to go places where you wouldn't go in a normal state of mind.
For instance, if you listen to a romantic song, the lyrics of that song will lead you to feel emotional or very sentimental, whereas if you listen to a song which the lyrics are aggressive you will certainly end up a very violent person.
If you listen to a song that sends out a very promiscuous message, you are running the risk of having wild and dirty thoughts when looking at someone of an opposite sex.
Listen to a fast track while driving and you will undoubtedly go over the speed limit.
Now, if you listen to a song that is inspirational, that talks about salvation, faith, that song will lead you straight to God's presence.
It's simple. All songs come with a built in message.
Where is that message leading you to?
