Psalms

I love the Psalms, at school we sang 2 Psalms everyday during our morning prayer service. During my teen years I was not thrilled with attending school, but I did love chapel. Intellectually, I did not understand the power of worship, I just knew I liked it.

Miracles happen during worship, especially during corporate worship. People can be transformed.

It's funny we all have different tastes and different ideas about how worship should be conducted. I am one of those people who raises my hands in the air during worship. Some of my friends would be hard pressed to raise their hands in the air during a stick up. Some people love loud, LOUD services, some people like quiet services. Some do NOT ever want to see the Holy Spirit manifest, others try to make the Holy Spirit manifest. I am somewhere in the middle, I like contemporary as well as traditional hymns played on modern instruments, I like it when people have words of knowledge, I like it if someone sings in tongues and there is an interpretation. I attended a church once who had a man making bird call noises during worship. I was not sure what that was about, but decided to remain focused on Jesus instead of the bird man of Katy. TX. That service was a bit much for me, but I admire the freedom in which the people worship.

Remember worship is not about us, it's about our Lord God - Yaweh!

Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.

Remember singing God is Working His Purpose Out in Chapel...the boys and girls alternating verses....

If we are going to mention those 2 hymns, we cannot leave out Ride On Ride on In Majesty (correct tune of course) or All Glory Laud and Honour...oh, and the school song...
