♫Come, Let Us Sing A Song♫

1 Chronicles 16:8-9 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.  Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
Psalms 66:1-2 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: Sing forth the honor of his name: make his praise glorious.
Psalms 95:1-2 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
Psalm 96:1 Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Psalms 98:1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvelous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.
Psalms 98:4-5 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.
Psalms 100:2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.

God's word tells of Him glory.  God's word (much of it in Psalms) also tells us to SING His praises!  God's creation of song is SUCH a beautiful thing!  The birds and the animals sing a song to their creator, the ocean waves sing a song to their creator, the wind, the rain...I'll bet even the sun, moon, stars, and dirt sing out to the Lord!  Then, God created man.  God gave us words to articulate His song and placed it in our hearts.
I am a crier during worship. Even when I sing with the radio in the car (even if it's not a worship song) I find myself moved to tears.  Why?  Why does music touch our hearts so deeply?  Why is song so special?  I believe it is because God first placed a song within us.  A song that yearns to be heard.  A song made specifically for you to sing to God.  Your song is different than anyone else's.  ---It's not the words you use, the intonation, the musicality, the verse, the chorus, the cracendo...no...it's your heart sending Praise to the Lord!  Therefore, EVERY song that you sing is a praiseful action to the Lord...Are the words you sing so praise-full?
