As I was listening to the recording of last Thursday's rehearsal, I heard again the story Cory told about the special needs woman singing with great abandon and enthusiasm, "The Spirit of God Like a Fire is Burning," in the middle of the congregation during church.
I thought about the words to that beautiful hymn, and discovered something rather surprising. So, you know how we all don't do a lot of "singing and shouting" in our church meetings? Check out the chorus to "The Spirit of God..." Yep: "We'll sing and we'll shout with the armies of heaven!" There it is, right there! We should sing and shout. Yes, you, conservative Mormon person. You should sing and shout!
So, feel free to follow the special needs woman's example and the words to that famiar hymn and sing with enthusiasm. Feel it! Enjoy it! Show it!
Happy singin' and shoutin,' people.
