Are you able to suppose again to 2 or three particular moments when God used a music to encourage you in your religion? What about two or three worship songs that you just can not hear with out remembering a candy second of worship to the Lord? Music is an absolute reward. Whether or not we ourselves are musically gifted or not, we are able to all recognize and make joyful noises to our nice God.
