singing with angels - the vibe

tonight I got to lead worship at praxis church - the church that meets at our building on sunday nights - the church where carl, my bass player usually leads worship when he isn't off getting married.

i'm sitting here trying to think of a way to explain certain moments of tonight's worship. but words seem to fall short. there's a feeling - well much more than a feeling - a vibe - that fills the room when a small number of people (in this case, 30-40) sing to the Lord and suddenly sound like more than just 30-40 people.

it's as though, even though we all start off singing simultaneously, our spirits intertwine with the holy spirit and we're bound together. then, the more we become open to the spirit's presence, and connected together in that same spirit, the more you sense the vibe - you actually hear it and feel it. i've experienced it a few times before in small groups and i guess i'm becoming more aware of it.

i'm also getting hooked on the vibe.

although a) i only believe in "corporate worship" on earth to a certain extent and b) i haven't been to heaven yet, i'm catching more of a glimpse of what it must be like to sing with angels.
