When done well, tasteful instrumentation and production behind a song become the terrain on which the heart travels.  The lyrics become the steady vehicle of truth, while the music provides the dips, climbs, on-ramps, off-ramps, and straight-a-ways on which the truth glides.

Let creativity in instrumentation ever be part of the evolving beauty of our Creator continually revealed in music, and let that creativity ever support the worshipers' voices as we glorify God in song. But let it not be executed in such a way that it detracts from a single word being proclaimed. In other words, whatever instrument you play, play in the name of Jesus (Colossians 3:17).

Merry Christmas Eve Eve! Maybe this will be our first time to church in a year. Maybe it'll be the only time we hear and sing things about God. Let's do it for real :)
