Dr. Edwin and family were leading worship at church on sunday morning and it was lovely having him back.
Among the many things they did was to teach the church this new song - "Sing and Shout" by Matt Redman. It oozes energy and is quite simple. We loved singing it in church and the song is still stuck in my head!
In an interview with CBN, this is what Matt says about the song:
CBN: The album's first song, "Sing and Shout", sounds like it was fun to sing with a big crowd. Being reflective and reverent as we worship God is right and good. But, how important is it to have fun while we praise?
Redman: I think that, biblically speaking, joy and reverence go very much hand in hand. Psalm 95 tells us 'come let us sing for joy' and then soon after 'come let us bow down in worship'. Leviticus 9:24 says "they shouted for joy and they fell facedown." Psalm 2 says 'rejoice with trembling". So this is a pattern in scripture – that joy and reverence are not opposed to each other, but actually in the most healthy worship they go hand in hand.
