One of the special things for children is their group activities with friends.
I found this action song sung by the children of different age groups interesting and captivating. From the oldest to the youngest, the body posture and expressions on their faces gave me a sense of their involvement in the content and meaning of the song.
Often songs are sung to keep the tune, rhythm and the music that is played which sometimes can lead people away form entering to the heart of the meaning of the song! Music and choral singing are art forms which need appreciation at the cerebral level for musical excellence!
However songs are also a means of ministering to our inner being to comfort, encourage, clarify and edify! Music and songs have an inspirational dimension.
Sometimes I wonder whether even during worship times singing has become a public performance or a pleasant entertainment losing its personal appeal to our inner being.
Singing meditatively ministers to the singer and the listeners!
