Come, 

let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come to him with thanksgiving. 

Let us sing psalms of praise to him.

Psalms 95:1-2 NLT

This song starts with an invitation, an offering to come and join in.

In singing.

In shouting.

With thanksgiving.

The "with thanksgiving" part is an attitude, something we bring with us.

The shouting and singing is what we're called into. 

Maybe culturally that's not what you're used to, maybe it's an easy fit, but this is about expression of an inner heart of thanksgiving.

If someone has prepared a meal for me, the least I can do is thank them.

With a smile.

With appreciation.

(TBH sometimes I take great meals a bit for granted, which is not cool. Is that what I do to our God too? Take Yahweh a bit for granted?)

Whether it's going to church or whatever Monday holds, if I start with a heart of thanksgiving, things are different, there may not be shouting, but there's a better chance of a song...
