A big group of people singing together is odd. It really is. Other than a
baseball game or occasional birthday party, people don't usually stand around
and sing. But we do every Sunday at church. Why? For starters it is a part of our
history and tradition. We come from a long line of people who sing to and about
God. From King David to Martin Luther to Bono, men and women have often expressed
their faith, whether in painful cries or through gushing praise, with singing. The
reasons behind this aren't always clear, but the power of music is undeniable. It
seems to tap into deeper and more honest places than words alone ever could. It has
been said that music is the language of the soul. We believe it.
