There are many references to singing in the Christian Scriptures. For example, in Matthew 26:30 we read, "And when they had sung a hymn they went out to the Mount of Olives." Singing together reflects the oneness of all; it is also a wonderful way to appreciate the preciousness of relationships and the great privilege of being together. Sometimes singing along with a recording or with the radio also bring us closer to God. It can enhance our spiritual development and strengthen our spiritual awareness.

Walking This Practice into the World

Throughout the course of the day, remember the phrase, "Singing takes me higher and closer to God, to other people, and to all of creation."
