Make a Joyful Noise
Now shall my inward joys arise,
And burst into a song;
Almighty love inspires my heart,
And pleasure tunes my tongue.
I was discussing shape note music the other night with John - found this stanza later on a website, which seems to sum up quite nicely the function of music in worship. Especially if you think of pleasure in terms of enjoying God.
