We lift our hands in praise because in
the Bible we read, "Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the
Lord" (Psalm 134:2).
We sing with all our hearts because in
the Bible we read, "Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth:
make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise" (Psalm 98:4).
We play musical instruments because in
the Bible we read, "And all the house of Israel played before the LORD
on all manner of instruments" (2 Samuel 6:5).
We clap and shout unto God because in
the Bible we read, "O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God
with the voice of triumph" (Psalm 47:1).
We dance before the LORD because in the
Bible we read, "Praise Him with the timbrel and dance: praise Him with
stringed instruments and organs" (Psalm 150:4).
We testify publicly because in the
Bible we read, "I will declare thy name unto my brethren; in the midst
of the congregation will I praise thee" (Psalm 22:22).
We anoint with oil for divine healing
because in the Bible we read, "Is any sick among you? Let him call for
the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him
with oil in the name of the Lord" (James 5:14).
