What do you think Jesus sounds like when He sings?
Singing and joy and happiness are so intertwined.
So I know that He sings.
How do you think our Heavenly Parents sound?
I know They sing.
Singing is joy and praise.
But it doesn’t always feel that way, right?
When we open our hymn books in church to sing the opening hymn, it’s oftentimes routine.
(Or time to try and keep your kids from tearing pages out of the book.)
Yeah, yeah, opening hymn. It’s what we do.
But how would our congregations, and more importantly our own hearts, be transformed if we sang with joy and praise in our hearts?
Singing without a care in the world?
My heaven is filled with a whole lot of singing.
“And they shall sing the song of the Lamb, day and night forever and ever.” (D&C 133:56)
It’s not going to be somber when we see Jesus.
Reverence and praise work together!
And I think the newest songs being added to our hymn book are encouraging us to realize that joy and reverence can go hand in hand.
Singing, with our hearts and souls and intent fully behind it, is a beautiful way that we WILL use to praise Jesus.
Happy Studying!
