Chris' prayer: Chris Tomlin's "How Can I Keep from Singing?"

I love to sing! At home, in my car, at work, at Mass. All by myself, to someone else, in front of everyone else. Fast songs, slow songs, and everything in between. I might not be that great, but it is tough to find someone who sings with as much energy as I do. It is something I'm truly passionate about, and perhaps my favorite way to pray and worship.

Occasionally, I'll even get compliments on my singing. People have told me that my voice is wonderful, or beautiful, or lovely, or that I sing very well. Trust me when I say this: this is a testament to God's glory. This is proof that even something I am not great at can be beautiful and valuable to others, and can honor God. Even if I have no idea what a key is, or how to maintain one, even if I can't hit that note, or even know how to try, even if I couldn't tell you the difference between a tenor and soprano, or have any idea what I would be considered, I can still lead people to God with my voice.

How can I keep from singing Your praise?
