You can find the Voice for God on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Prime and other music services! You just have to be listening! Closely! Here are some songs that I have reviewed and found the Voice. I use them for my playlists to help me remember who I am and where I am going. These are artist who are doing the same!

It's a Mad World With No Boundaries

Sometimes a song reminds us of our true home, somewhere else.  In one of the truly remarkable song performances in the American Idol competition was Adam Lambert’s 2009 “Mad World”.  Listen to the words as he reminds us that in many ways, this is truly an insane world:

"All around me are familiar faces, Worn out places, worn out faces, Bright and early for the daily races, Going nowhere, going nowhere. Their tears are filling up their glasses, No expression, no expression. Hide my head I want to drown my sorrows, No tomorrow, no tomorrow.

And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad: The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had. I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take When people run in circles it's a very, very Mad world, mad world.” - Written by Roland Orzabel and "Tears For Fears" Band

The line, “the dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had” is a reminder of just how much we miss our heavenly home.  Many times, here on Earth that should be happy, often are not.

“Children waiting for the day they feel good: Happy birthday, happy birthday, Made to feel the way that every child should. Sit and listen, sit and listen. Went to school and I was very nervous: No one knew me, no one knew me. Hello teacher, tell me what’s my lesson, Look right through me, look right through me.”

When one looks into another’s eyes, we often do not find what we are looking for… unless we shift our perception. The Christ is there, waiting for us to change our minds and make another choice.  Sometimes that choice is not made until we get the feeling that we really aren’t getting anywhere right here where we are: [written by Kara DioGuardi, Cath Dennis and Mitch Allen, sung by Kris Allen, 2009 American Idol winner]

“Just when you think the road is going nowhere, Just when you’ve almost gave up on your dreams, Then take it by the hand and show you that you can. There are no boundaries. There are no boundaries.

I fought to the limit to stand on the edge. What if today is as good as it gets? Don't know where the future's heading, But nothing's gonna bring me down.

I've jumped every bridge and I've heard every lie. I've risked being safe but I always knew why. I always knew why.

So here I am - still holding on!

With every step you climb another mountain. Every breath it's harder to believe. You’ll make it through the pain, Weather the hurricanes, To get to that one thing.”

Idol winner Kris Allen voices the advice we get from the Holy Spirit to keep hanging on, you will make it to get to that One thing that really counts… Heaven. That is the reason we hang on, forgive, and make new choices. 
Most of the rules in this world are there to keep us from realizing that we can “be one with all things”, one with the infinite. We do not have to accept smallness. We do not have to stay trapped.  At some level we create our reality; we can also make different choices and change that reality to make it more of what we really want.

“You can go higher, You can go deeper. There are no boundaries Above and beneath you. Break every rule cause there’s nothing between you and your dreams.

With every step you climb another mountain, Every breath it's harder to believe. Yeah! There are no boundaries, There are no boundaries.”

Of course, LOVE is what we really want. To love others, to be loved by them.  It is truly our only permanent reality. When we ignore it, we miss it terribly!  It is only a choice away.
