Worship; The Unraveling of Mirth

What do I enjoy most about attending church? The worship! That's what triggers my emotional response to the occurrences of a day. It is in song that He appears most vividly to me. During melodious worship I learn what it's like to serve Him to the fullest on a daily basis throughout the week. By encountering God in an intimate and private setting I'll be able to recognize what it's like to worship Him through my thoughts, actions and speech while in public. I have NO musical talent yet my love for music/worship is great. 
Perhaps the mirth that is unraveled in the midst of worship contributes to my lack of resistance towards posting a wondrous song. All of this to introduce a newly beloved melody... Here's another tune by Shawn McDonald, my friend. He's singing, "Here I Am", so enjoy this tune; "Smile and be merry!" (quoted/written by a friend) as the song plays wherever you may be.
 
 
 Everything on earth will worship you; they will sing your praises, shouting your name in glorious songs.”

Psalm 89:15
Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, Lord.

Psalm 95:6
Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our maker,

Psalm 100:2
Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy.

Romans 12:1
[ A Living Sacrifice to God ] And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.
