Vocal skill required?


If you feel as if you can't or shouldn't participate in the singing on Sunday morning, or you know someone who sees themselves as a "non-musical" person, here are a few things for you to think about as you look forward to Sunday. It seems as if the commands to sing are there in Scripture (these are just a few of the many), and they apply to everyone regardless of "natural ability." So come ready to belt out the praise with us on Sunday!

Oh sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all the earth!
~ Psalm 96:1

Oh sing to the LORD a new song,
for he has done marvelous things!
His right hand and his holy arm
have worked salvation for him.
~ Psalm 98:1

Sing to the LORD, all the earth!
Tell of his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised,
and he is to be held in awe above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
but the LORD made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and joy are in his place.
~ 1 Chronicles 16:23-27

Singing is not an option for the Christian; no one is excused. Vocal skill is not a criterion.
