Some of us kneel at the altar, some sing, some play musical instruments, and some quietly pray. We all worship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"BodyA\">Why worship? How can we not worship when He is our exceeding joy?! Our carols express our praise to Him and extol the glorious work He has done in our hearts. These are good tidings of great joy! Come, let joy lead us into worship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"BodyA\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><b>Prayer<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyA\"><em>Father, let our voices, our instruments, and our prayers be heard in the halls of heaven.
