We are chosen and called out people by the Lord. We need to sing songs for the Lord to praise his name on high. When we sing songs for the Lord it makes him feel happy and he allows us to be his people.
We should encourage our youths to be involved in praising God wherever they go. It also makes us happy to praise Jesus as he gives us joy and peace in our hearts. We cannot find happiness apart from Jesus.
