Pastoral Aesthetic Quotes- 13

"The act of singing together is deeply and indelibly human. When we sing, words are given greater range and power than when we speak. Something is shared in singing that goes beyond the words alone. Among Christians, this something has taken shape over many centuries in a practice that expresses our deepest yearning and dearest joy: the practice of singing our lives."

--Don E. Saliers (in "Singing Our lives" in Practicing Our Faith: A Way of Life. p. 180)
