The living God is often worshipped through songs; and the singing of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs are well-known as a prerogative of the Church. This book is replete with Biblical exposition and viewed from a standpoint that relates to the pivotal role in song ministration. In retrospect, praise and worship is the ""sweet aroma of sacrifice"" that brings pleasure to God and makes Him feel happy and comfortable. Praise and Worship constitute a power-packed ministry; creating a spectacular atmosphere that engineers the tangible present of God in the midst of His people. Praise, on one hand, serves as a ""Golden Way"" through which blessings are channeled into the lives of Christians. Worship, on the other, is like a ""pearl of worth"" that gives us the privilege of feasting at the Master's table: culminating to a vertical relationship with the Lord which triggers horizontal impacts. More significantly, the Lordship of Jesus is illuminated in glory, majesty, and splendor as we life His name through songs of Jubilation -- like this: JESUS, JESUS, JESUS Sweeter than honey Oh, How we love thy Name! Hallelujah!
