Are you listening to what you’re singing??

Last Sunday morning I was at church, singing away, when it struck me. “I have just sung nearly a whole song, and I didn’t listen to a word I just said!” I thought about the fact that we do this so much- we just sing along because we know a song, and we don’t ever think about the words we sing and what they mean.

This can often happen to us with songs on the radio, or on our iPod. We know the song because we’ve heard it a kazillion times, and we just… sing along. But sometimes the songs we’re singing are about being in bad relationships, or hating other people, or be depressed or whatever, when that’s not really what we are.

I think that it’s important that we think about the things that we’re saying, and if we don’t agree with something that we’re singing, then maybe we should think about NOT singing it. You know what they say- there’s power in the things we say. Words can bring life, or death, and we can bring those things on ourselves as well, not just others.

For me, at church, not thinking about what I’m singing is really regretfull thing. I am meant to be singing praises to my God, and I meant to mean them and be worshiping him, but really, I’m not. I am thinking about what the singers are wearing, or about the blog post I want to write (this blog post ), or about other random stuff that enters my mind.

Does this honour God? No. This is incredibly dishonourable to God, and I’m lucky he doesn’t spite me… (haha) But seriously, I have to be accountable for the things that I do and particularly say.
