Glo-oooooooooooooooooooooo ria





Is there a song more fun to sing in church?


Inhale and then belt it out.


It reminds me of being at a concert of a favorite band. A concerns on which I know every word to every song. A concert to belt it out.


Joy. Sorrow. Confusion. Love. Heartbreak. Exuberance.


All the feelings.


That’s what this song does to me. It brings me into all the feelings.

It brings me into my humanity.


And that’s exactly what Christ came to do - to bring us into our full humanity.


What song elicits all the feelings for you? Or, what kind of practice or activity brings you into such deep awareness?


Gloria.


Gloria in excelsius deo
