Be filled with the Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts. Eph. 5:18-19
Singing is in a line of descent from the psalms, a way of puncturing reality, the ordered struture of things as they are. As soon as we start to sing, dance, remember, things are not as they are. We are no longer just gathering in the hay, as it were. It's a weird thing to do-a non-animal-like thing to do. The angel in us.
