When in the music God is Glorified!

I love music! I love to sing, listen to music, and even play the clarinet and saxophone. Music is a major part of my worship experience, both in church and out of church. I have found myself in a trap lately saying that the music is boring and old and not really listening to the words. This morning, as I was thinking that very thought, the song "When in the Music God is Glorified," popped into my head. I had forgotten that music is glorifying God and that as long as I am singing or listening to music, I am worshiping, and that is GOOD! Even if it isn't my taste of music, or the person next to me, we are still praising God and we need to be thankful for that gift. Whether we are singing a musical setting of Psalm 5 from 1560, or "Shine Jesus Shine" from 1987, or U2 and Green Day's "The Saints Are Coming" from 2006, or even when we listen to the "Bongo Bong Song" in my 5th and 6th grade classroom, we are praising God, ALL THE TIME!!!!
