Why do we sing?
Does it ever strike anyone else as odd that we gather in a building, millions of us, all over the world, every Sunday to sing? How is it that we who are reasonable people, who drive nice, or not so nice cars, and talk business and politics and discuss the values of owning a weapon, get together once a week, whether we have ability or not, to sing? What is it about God that suddenly makes us need to be musical? What is it about God that he wants our music?
Does anyone else go to church on Sunday and find it strickingly funny that all of these people in all of these places are gathering to sing, whether traditional or contemporary, instrumental or accapella, we gather, not for a concert, but to sing?
So, why do we do it? And don't give an easy answer. Think about this one. If your going to say because God wants us to, I want you to share an idea as to why. You don't have to be right, I just want your opinions. Defend the music people!

Ummm...I do not know the biblical reason, but I know for me personally it makes me feel good. I only sing at church or the car, and in both cases I always feel better for it.
What get's me is that people don't sing together more outside of that one or two hours at church one to three times a week. It's so much fun and so fulfilling, why don't we just get together and have singing parties?
jeremy, i think you went to high school on another planet...lol. at my high school, the people in choir were very much the popular crowd.
gina, i think its pretty odd that we get together and sing on sundays.
i don't really know why we sing.
i love it, though, so i'm not complaining :).
