 How pleasant singing is when it springs from a rejoicing heart. We do not need a choir to sing for us — that does not come from the heart, though granted, it may produce feelings in the heart. Our desire should be for that outward flow of praise to God. (The Dedication of the Wall - Neh. 12:27-47 by N. Simon)
