Sing Songing to God’s Glory

February 17, 2006 by Optimist Editorial Board

Sing Song.

Just the mention of the word invokes memories of singing flies, months of practice and spirited competition between the clubs and classes.

Thousands of man-hours of preparation will be displayed in the weekends three shows.

However, Sing Song goes beyond just the practices and the competition. Sing Song is a chance for the student body to be more cohesive.

It is also a chance to worship god and to thank him for the wonderful blessings we have.

Although the competition is a big part of Sing Song, the real beauty of the event comes through when all the groups are finished with their performances, and the awards have been handed out.

The real beauty of Sing Song is when old and young, Subbers and Frats, parents and children, Kojies and Siggies join hands and sing “The Lord Bless You and Keep You.” During that time, when everyone in Moody Coliseum is focused on singing praises to God and admonitions to their brothers and sisters that will linger long after the thrill of winning the vocal competition, Sing Song’s true spirit is revealed.

Sing Song is a wonderful tradition that hopefully will continue for years to come. It would be difficult for some of us to imagine what ACU would be like without Sing Song; the positive force that the proceeds have on the campus and in the community, and the drawing together of the student body into a great tradition are what have kept Sing Song getting better every year it has been performed.

So sing with all your heart.

But remember whose glory we should singing for.
