Hymns and worship

I had a wonderful worship experience this afternoon. It wasn’t with a praise band, singing David Crowder’s latest music, no drums, no guitars, and no vocalists. I had a chance to lead a vespers service here this afternoon and gave a short message on the promises of God to a group of folks. One of the hymns they chose to sing was “How Great Thou Art.” What I noticed during the singing time was the heart for worship and the Spirit of God upon one of the folks called to lead the singing. As I watched him singing with tears in his eyes, I was filled with joy in that even with the worship wars over the years, that no matter what we sing to the Lord in a Sunday worship service, whether a hymn or praise song, we are called to sing to the Lord with our whole heart.
