WHY DO WE SING?Why do we sing old songs?
To remind us of the message ofJesus Christ which never changes.
Why do we sing new songs?To keep the message of JesusChrist fresh and new on our lips andin our hearts.
Why do we sing fast songs?To lift our spirits into celebration ofthe presence of Jesus Christ.
Why do we sing slow songs? To give our spirits time and space to
relax in the presence of JesusChrist.
Why do we sing loud?That the whole world might hear ofthe love of Jesus Christ.
Why do we sing soft?That we might hear the still smallvoice of God whispering to us.
Why do we sing?Because God gave us voices to singhis praises. Because our spirits singand our voices echo that song.Because we were made to sing.Because we must.
