Do you have a favorite Christmas carol?
Joy to the World
O Come All Ye Faithful
O Holy Night
Silent Night
Come on Ring Those Bells
So many beautiful Christmas tunes written to worship the Lord this time of year.
At Explorer Girls last night we had the opportunity while hearing the Christmas story, to sing quite a few of those songs.
As I sang along I noticed that some of us have lost our clear voices,
some sing off key,
some are monotone,
some don’t really know the tune but sing along anyway,
some don’t know all the correct words,
loud,
soft,
altos,
sopranos,
and some singing tenor.
But looking around, I saw each one enjoying singing together and worshiping.
Sometimes we believe that only by standing up, singing loudly and on tune is the way to show true worship.
God doesn’t care if we stand or sit, if we shout or whisper, as long as we have ‘an inward meditative reflection of worship’.
I hope you enjoy singing along this Christmas season!
Psalm 100
1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!
3 Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!
5 For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever,and his faithfulness to all generations.
