Why Do You Sing?
« on: October 27, 2005, 03:05:13 PM »
Well when ask why do I sing. I always respond "I sing for the Goodness of the Lord."  I do sing with a group and I love to travel with the group. But what makes it so wonderful to me is to see the faces of Christians that are really listeneing and worshiping our Father.  I also always say a prayer before doing a solo.  I just ask the Lord to have his people hear all that is Good and to allow the song touch their souls.  Funny how after I sing I always say I should have hit this note or I should have ended it like this, but when it is all said and done and that one person comes to me and tells me how they were lifted it up than that lets me know God heard my prayer and his message was delivered for the nourishment of that person soul.

So tell me Why do you Sing :?: 8O

Before I knew I had a reason to sing, I sang.  Now, I sing as my offering to God.  I can't help but to sing!

If I've had a bad day, a good choir rehearsal lifts my spirits.  If I happen to be visiting another church, do I let the choir sing on their own?? Oh no!  I gots to stand up & sing right along with them.   :lol:

I sing because God gave me a gift and it's up to me to be a good steward of what he gave me.

I sing for God's glory, and when I sing I fall even the more in love with Him. Its something when you can just close your eyes and feels God's presence shining on you - you loving Him, Him loving you as you sing - its personal and its special.  :D

I had to share this story with my new found Christian friends.  Let me start here first.  I have to sing at a Christian Cafe in a couple of weeks so as any good musician you do rehearsal.  I bought Center of My Joy Cd instrumental version.  Well as with anyone I too have my trial to bear.  Well I was driving singing as if I was singing in front of a room full of people I got to the part in the song where the soloist is singing and the choir answers back. Well I got to this part When I'm lonely feeling sad, you are the lifter of my head.  I just started minister unto myself and God just allowed me to be filled up.  I am at work now and I still can't calm down. Funny how when we are going through we never realized when we sing we are also ministering unto ourselves.  Thank God For Songs and Voices.  You have a Blessed Day

I sing because I'm happy.....lol

I partly sing to learn something new. I want to learn to direct, lead songs, and lead a praise and worship service.

I love singing like I love breathing.  Plain and simple.  I mean it seems it's the only way I can truly express myself.  When I open my mouth to speak, I'm treated as an outsider.  Yet, when I minister thru music, people see an entirely different person.  Funny thing is, I don't ever see them once I start singing.  Do you all feel where I'm coming from?

I am a beginner:  I sing becasue I have always had a desire to sing even though I never did until now.  Singing in my church's choir allows me to get involve in church service and sing for my Lord because he loves my voice, even if others (my kids) don't.  I also have a desire to learn how to play the piano too!  That is next!  :lol:

I sing simply to praise God and let Him Know that I appreciate Him. Not only that, music is my ministry. God bless

I sing to minister to myself most of the time.  I sing when I'm happy, sad, angry, lonely, depressed, anxious...........there's a song for everything.  Music brings me back to me.  It reminds me who I am.  I sing as an offering to God.  I sing for my kids.  I sing for my sister's memory.  Sometimes I'll be shopping and don't realize I'm singing until someone says something.  Then I guess I sing because whatever's on  my mind comes out in music.

Singing from the heart is a personal thing. Nothing more, nothing less. You can't ask youth to sing, JUST to sing. They have to really want to. Ask them if they really want to. Some are just there because their parents are making them.

You have to tap into the heart of the matter; whatever the matter may be.

Be blessed.

I sing because it is a facet of my love language, exhortation.  I have always known and enjoyed music and then when I finally surrendered to what my true area of ministry was, God showed and up and showed out.  The best way that I talk to God is through lifting my voice in song.  For some reason everything that I always want to say comes out better when I do it through song.  God and singing music are my greatests passions in life.
