The most precious sound in the entire world!

THE most precious sound in the entire world!

I should start with a small fact about myself. I love to sing! I love to listen to others sing! I love the effect, motivation, joy, peace and so on that music brings to my life. So this morning in church as I was singing I was listening to others worship around me. The unique and diverse sounds and sights of others’ worshipping. Worshipping surrounded by family and friends is a blessing to start with but have you ever just stopped to watch or listen? There is so much beauty in hearing and watching others worship. I believe that we should experience worship and that isn’t just through singing (though music is NOT the only way to worship) but through listening and watching others worship. It definitely brings me closer to Lord watching and listening. But that is still not the most precious sound . . . I’m getting there! 

So today in worship I took just a little time to watch others. My friend Angie with her hands in the air in complete surrender, Luke sitting in prayer and thought, Laura and Patrick worshipping as a couple, others with their eyes closed singing their praise to Him. But then we started singing “he is good he is good when there’s nothing good in me . . .” and I hear this sweet voice next to me singing this song that she knows so well because she has been raised in church and around Christian music. My sweet cousin Kylie, in the sweetest and purest voice I could imagine singing to Him. It was the most precious sound in the entire world. I swear I heard the angels singing with her. And though my first instinct was to just listen (how can you not just stop and listen when you hear that?) but in some weird way I felt compelled to join in. I didn’t want to miss out on singing this praise with this precious girl next to me. I don’t know how to explain it. The longer I listened to her the more I felt I HAD to sing with her. I even tried mid song just to stop and listen again but still felt that tugging that I NEEDED to be a part of it. The most precious sound in the entire world is the worship of a child and today Kylie was that child!
