Sing With The Mind Also

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 26, 2009

Cantate Sunday, 1986: Music has power to involve every facet of our beings in worship, it helps build the body of Christ, and it can offer a credible witness to the world.

It was offertory time in the morning worship, and everyone had settled down quietly – settling down, I suspect, for a little nap to get themselves ready for the big nap they would take during the sermon! And, as was customary, the organist began the slow and solemn strains of an offertory: music to ...read more

This idea was prompted by a song of the world, as we would call it, "Only the strong Survive" by the late Jerry Butler. He talks about a love affair that went wrong and concludes that only the strong survive bad relationships. Of course, I agree and so, that's a song to sing. This Psalm by David ...read more
