I've tried to be one of those people who get filled up singing praises to God but I don't get filled up. But here's what I do: I watch and read the lyrics on the screen, I take in the words and I listen to the drums. That's how I worship.
I have a collection of Christian music from back in the day when I first became a Christian. Some of it precedes that because my Mom would play her Christian music freely in our home. I liked the people and groups she chose. I liked the message even more.
Messages like:
- There is freedom in Christ
- Our God reigns
- Praise Him
- Ever Devoted
- Unto the King Eternal
- Many hymns taken from the scriptures and put to music.

Not because I had to, not because those around me would notice I'm not singing but because for a few stanzas, I wanted to sing.
Here are those songs:
