Seeing people catch a feeling in their spirit and sprint the aisles of the church while my cousins played driving, uplifting gospel stuck with me. I let that same feeling wash over me when I experience and perform music.
Sing the songs of joy to the Lord, serve the Name of the Lord, and become the servant of His servants.
The most valuable thing the Psalms do for me is to express the same delight in God which made David dance.
I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art, finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his 'divine service.'
A joyful congregation is an attractive congregation.
We never better enjoy ourselves than when we most enjoy God.
I was brought up singing gospel, and I really enjoy getting the church up on their feet, their hips swaying, their hands clapping, it's a great feeling to evoke that energy for the Lord.
When I think of my God, my heart dances within me for joy, and then my music has to dance, too.
Our happy God should be worshiped by a happy people.
The world will never be converted to God unitl Christians cry less and laugh and sing more.
Laughter was a part of the church services I attended as a child.
Serve God joyfully. Let there be no sadness in your life: the only true sorrow is sin.
There is more healing joy in five minutes of true worship than in five nights of revelry.
You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might also pray in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.
In the house of God there is never ending festival; the angel choir makes eternal holiday; the presence of God's face gives joy that never fails.
I would believe only in a God that knows how to Dance.
Joy to the world, the Lord is come / Let earth receive her King / Let every heart, prepare him room / And heaven and nature sing.
It is the Lord's Day, and I do believe that cheerful hearts and faces are not unpleasant in His sight.
To listen to some devout people, one would imagine that God never laughs.
Let not a libation of tears be the only offering at the shrine of Jesus; let us also rejoice with joy unspeakable. If we have need to lament our sin, how much more to rejoice at our pardon!
Her faith in a loving and forgiving God is strong, but she worships laughter.
