A song in the heart is a song in life.
A song in the heart is a hedge against strife.
It's better to sing than to negatives cling.
Out of much singing will happiness spring.
Not just to speak did God give us voice.
He gave us music with which to rejoice.
When praises rise from deep in the heart,
Then singing bursts forth as a God-given art.
No matter the weather, no matter the news,
We can have joy if our voices we'll use
To bring forth a song... a precious, sweet sound.
Let singing have increase, let singing abound!
"Be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord."
Ephesians 5:18-19 KJV
