For Christians, Zion is that city of God which is heaven. And again, when we enter that place of eternal promise, there will be singing. For those of us who know Christ's love in our hearts, there is a need to say thank you to God for what God has done for us.

Charles Duke, a former astronaut, came to Christ some years after walking on the moon.  After his time with NASA he had lacked purpose and meaning in his life.  His wife, Dottie, was also troubled. In fact, she contemplated suicide.  But then she began to attend church where she gave her life to Christ.  Sometime later at his wife's Bible study Charles Duke gave his life to Jesus as well.  He found a new and compelling purpose for his life. Today he offers this comment on his conversion, "Walking on the moon cannot compare with walking on earth with Jesus."

When you feel like that you want to sing. Music allows us to express our joy and thanksgiving.
