Those songs were like a road map for life's journey. It was all together singing in harmony, young and old, men and women, boys and girls. We could hear the beautiful harmony as voices blended and the Holy Spirit would deal with each one as needed . The voices harmonized with the piano and organ and everyone sang!
We had the lights on too so you could read the words and even the notes if you knew how to read music. Now , we need a flashlight to find a seat and everyone just watches the 5 people on the stage sing a new group of words that no one can quite get the tune right, but that's ok because you can not hear your own words anyway. The sound system is so loud from those 5 on stage that even the string instruments are drowned out and that bass drummer is getting through to you for sure, nothing will drown him out.
Then there is good preaching. Thank God for that!
