Sing Out!

Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord...

true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth....

if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.
Eph. 5:19 John 4:23 Luke 19:40

Do you have a good singing voice? Perhaps you are gifted at singing and keep your light under a bushel. Maybe you are less than gifted but sing out anyway! Singing is a wonderful way to worship God whatever musical talent we have, and when done in Spirit and truth the sound is pleasing to God. Sometime ago we had a lady in our church who, shall we say, excelled in gifts other than singing! However, that did not stop her lifting her voice to heaven to praise God. She would often start up a worship song in the service and the congregation would slowly join in, frantically trying to find the impossible key she had begun in.

This lady had a love for God and nothing was going to stop her worshipping God. At her funeral, about 18 months ago, many people talked about her love for worship, and we sang many of her favourite worship songs, visualising her with arms outstretched to God. A collection was made in her memory and was put to work in the music and worship ministry in our church, enabling us to worship more effectively. Not bad for someone who couldn't pitch a note but was a fantastic worshipper.
