"Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph!” Psalm 47:1 Why do we lift our hands? "Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.” Psalm 63:4Why do we have audible praise unto God? “Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name!” Psalm 103:1 Why do we sing in Tongues and in English? "For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding." I Cor. 14:14-15 Why do we have this type of worship? "But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:23-24 Why do we sing choruses as well as hymns? "And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord."
