SEEDS FOR HARVESTING 6/46

Psalm 101:1
"I will sing of your love and justice.
I will praise you Lord with song."

The history of God's people
through the Old Testament
and on into the early Church
is filled with incidents of his people
praising God through song.

For we who worship him in this age
the singing of Christmas Carols
and the Hallelujah Chorus
enriches our rejoicing
at the birth of the Saviour of the world.

Our churches, each Sunday,
are filled with music
as we "praise you Lord with song".

Is there any better way
to acknowledge God's love
than by singing
"I will sing of your love?"

To remove music from our worship
would rob us of
so much that is glorious.

As the Psalmist says
"My heart is confident in you, O God.
No wonder I can sing your praises."
