A number of the great events recorded in scripture were accompanied by music. Think of Paul and Silas praying and singing hymns prior to their miraculous release from prison (Acts 16:25-26); the trumpeters marching circles around Jericho (Joshua 6); and all in heaven and earth singing praises to God in John’s revelation (Revelation 5:11-13).
Thus the psalmist instructs us, “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!”
Here’s a taste in videos and still images of adults, youth, and children at Grace Church doing exactly that.
