Music and the Gospel: “The Greatest,” Sia

In SPIRIT this week discusses ways the Holy Spirit moves in us. Sometimes we can connect during quiet contemplation. Other times we can connect by risking a new friendship or by pushing ourselves to rise above a challenge and reach the finish line. Sia’s song “The Greatest” is all about connecting with a force greater than oneself, pushing and staying motivated against all obstacles, and embracing life.

Key Lyrics: Hey, I am the truth / Hey, I am the wisdom of the fallen – I’m the youth / Hey, I am the greatest / Hey, this is the proof / Hey, I work hard, pray hard, pay dues, hey / I transform with pressure, I’m hands-on with effort / I fell twice before my bounce back was special / Let downs will get you, and the critics will test you / But the strong will survive, another scar may bless you, ah

Questions: When have you pushed yourself beyond old limits to new ones? When have you experienced being part of something greater than yourself?
