Psalm 98:4-6
Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises! Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody! With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD!
Lord, how is that all the peoples of the earth are not breaking out into joyous song? Not even those who claim to be Your people? Four so-called praise choruses at the beginning of a Sunday morning service does not constitute this breaking out in joyous song; it should be an eruption of joy; a paean of praise; a shout of thanksgiving; a recital of Your Goodness and Love. Pour out Your Spirit upon Your people.
