It's difficult not to be happy when God is part of everything you do. I know life isn't always easy as we all go through difficult situations at time, however if we keep God at the center of all we do, there is no reason you can't continue to be happy in God's presence.
With God by our side it's difficult not to sing about it and tell others, and that's reflected by Sydney Staff Songsters as they sing How Can I Keep From Singing:
How Great Is Our God (by Chris Tomlin) The splendor of a King, Clothed in majesty Let all the earth rejoice, All the earth rejoice He wraps himself in light, And darkness tries to hide And trembles at his voice, And trembles at his voice
How great is our God, sing with me How great is our God, and all will see How great, How great Is our God
Age to age he stands And time is in His Hands Beginning and the End, Beginning and the End The Godhead, Three in one Father, Spirit, Son The Lion and the Lamb, The Lion and the Lamb
How great is our God, sing with me How great is our God, and all will see How great, How great Is our God
Name above all names You are Worthy of all praise and My heart will sing how great Is our God (x2)
How great is our God, Sing with me How great is our God, and all will see How great, How great Is our God
How great is our God, Sing with me How great is our God, and all will see How great, How great Is our God
Do you know how great God is? Praise God, He is great and wonderful beyond compare. He can be your greatest friend if you just accept Him into your life.
Psalm 101:1 I will sing of your love and justice; to you, O LORD, I will sing praise.
Have you ever been sitting in church or at a music concert and someone sitting beside or behind you is singing along very loudly to the music? Not only that but have been singing along very untunefully or very out of time?
I think we've all encountered a situation like that at some time or another, so what did you think? Did you laugh? Did you wih they'd stop singing?
Again I guess those are reactions we've all had in this type of circumstance.
But what do you think God is thinking about your own singing? Are you a great singer, not the best but can hold a tune or realy can't hold a tune at all?
Well whatever kind of singer you are, good or bad, God will be listening to you! Is that scary?! But God is not bottered whether you can sing or not, what He is interested in is whether you have a song in your heart. In other words, God doesn't want us just to go through the motions of life. He doesn't want us to be hypocrites, He'd rather we couldn't sing but sang the words from our heart with true feeling and belief! God wants us to sing with conviction, to sing from experience and belief in His Name.
So sing from your heart, and sing as loud as you want!
I'm married to Sandy, we have no children but we do have a cat called Tigger who we've had since he was 6 weeks old (he was a wedding present - we got him on our 1st anniversary).
I'm a christian and have attended the Salvation Army all my life. I play trombone in the Bellshill Salvation Army Band. I'm also the webmaster of the band's website.
