Make a joyful noise

When alone, I love to sing. I sing loud and passionately. I do not, however, sing well. I have been called tone deaf by many people, and those are the people I cannot sing my heart out around. Interestingly enough, singing, although I'm not talented in it, is a part of who I am.
I love to sing. My favorite songs to sing are worship songs, or any kind of song that I can relate to. It is a way I communicate my feelings and thoughts. It is my way of sharing my heart and my mind, my soul and my spirit. For me to not be able to sing in front of someone, because I am ashamed of how terrible I sound or they say I sound, is to not be able to be authentic.
The Bible says to make a joyful noise to the Lord. This is my command, my instruction, and my life. I will make a joyful noise to the Lord. I will sing with my whole heart to praise Him. I will sing a new song to Him. I will sing. I may not sing well, but I must sing. I must make a joyful noise.
