With A Song In My Heart

Psalm 100:1-2

Make a joyful shout to the Lord, all you lands!   Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing

 

My husband and I used to sing in a quartet.  We would sing at our church, other churches, special singing services, fund raisers and other such occasions.  It was so much fun.  I really miss being able to do this now.

Sharing our love of God in song is really special.  Most people love music, and songs of praise get them singing and thinking about the words to the songs.  Many people sing a song to the Lord and it brings them closer to Him in their worship.  Many of us have a song in our hearts that carry us through each day.

I have known since I was young that one of the talents God bestowed upon me was words.  If you need a poem, give me a subject and I can write one for you.  Want a short story?  I will be glad to write one for you.  Words come easy to me when written down.  Speaking them is no longer that easy.

Now that I am older, one of the ways I worship God is to sing to Him.  Not out loud, but in my mind and heart.  It gives me so much joy to sing praises to my God and I know that it gives Him joy also.  Sometimes, when I put a conglomeration of words together that really don’t go together, I can feel God smile. 

Once in a while I realize that I am singing out loud.  My husband will tell me, “You have a song in your heart today”.  He always smiles when he says this because he knows that it means I am having a better than average day.  Sometimes it embarrasses me to realize I have said these things out loud without realizing it.

Many people won’t sing in church or at other times because they say they can’t sing.  This is not true.  We can all sing.  God only asks that we are honest and sincere in our praise.  He doesn’t mind if we sing off key…………if we are sincere in our worship, He loves it no matter what it sounds like!!
