“Every time I tried to tell you, the words just came out wrong, so I’ll have to say “I love you” in a song.”—Jim Croce.

Have you ever noticed how you can say things in a song that you could never say otherwise? Music somehow enhances our ability to express ourselves, especially when deep emotions are involved.

It’s no wonder then, that the Bible places such a heavy emphasis on music and singing. This type of worship gives us a much-needed avenue for expressing our gratitude to God for the many ways he has blessed us. Remember this if you ever find yourself hoping that the song service will end soon!

“Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; make music to our God on the harp.”—Psalm 147:7.
