Sing to the Lord, all the earth

I love singing at church. For many years, I’ve sung a song based on Psalm 96. The chorus goes: ‘Worship the Lord in holy array, tremble before Him all the earth, our God reigns.’

This song feels so uplifting, so joyful, and such a delight to be able to focus on God. I reckon most of us enjoy singing in church, especially as so many songs speak to our heart of worship for God and encourage us to uphold Him and praise Him.

Another song we sing at church is called Build My Life. In the second verse, we sing: ‘Jesus, the Name above every other name, Jesus, the only One who could ever save. Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe. We live for You, Oh, we live for You.’ This is what worship is: living our life for God in a way that shows that our love for Him is the #1 priority. All else is done in that context. To finish, let me remind us of the chorus of another great song of worship from Shout to the Lord:

‘Shout to the Lord, all the earth let us sing; power and majesty praise to the King. Mountains bow down, and the seas will roar at the sound of Your name. I sing for joy at the work of Your hands; forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand. Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.’ Let us give our loving, awesome, magnificent, indescribable, redeeming God the worship He deserves.
