Why Do We Sing God's
Praises?
We sing God's praises because he
tells us to.
Especially in the Psalms, God tells us over and over that he wants to hear
us singing about him and how wonderful he is - really loud and in large
groups.
We sing in the post-communion canticle (based on Psalm 105) in the Lutheran
Book of Worship : He leads his people forth in joy with shouts of
thanksgiving. God wants us to shout from the rooftops about his
wisdom, his strength, his goodness, and all the wonderful things he gives
us.
To honor his beauty, we make our singing about him as beautiful as we can.
But most of all we know that whoever we are and whatever talent he has given
us for singing, he wants to hear our voices joined together in praising
him.
We praise God with a service of Lessons and Carols on Christmas
Eve.
With these lessons, we use the Lutheran Book of Worship (LBW),
With One Voice (WOV), and Rejoice,
all published by Augsburg Fortress Press in Minneapolis, MN.
