Music from Church of the Beloved, Charlotte

  

Worship, for me, is that point at which God and I feel each other's breath...on our faces, in our eyes.  God breathes into me and I sing out to him.  The Beloved Band's music gives me not just a sense of breath, but a sense of heartbeat...the muffled underbeat rhythm of the Mother's heart.
