Worship In Your Quiet Time

I've felt led recently to incorporate more worship into my Quiet Times, but that's easier said than done. I've tried it before and it's worked something like this...

PLAN A : Sing a song. Felt more than a little uncomfortable about it and tried to keep it down to nigh on silence.

PLAN B : Sing along... to a CD!!! Except I didn't know the words to half of the Christian CDs that are out now, and I couldn't sing my favourite. Plus, if there was a perfect song I would need to root for it, and lose the whole atmosphere.

PLAN C : Used the booklet with the CD to learn some new songs. Concentrated too hard on keeping up with the song, it wasn't really very worshippy feeling.

PLAN D : Went all hi tech and used SongPro instead. Instead, I ended up concentrating on when to move to the next verse to get properly immersed.

AND LO AND BEHOLD... I had a plan. If you're in the same boat, try going onto YouTube. You can search for your fave songs and download them using RealPlayer or similar. What I did was download songs which had subtitles so I can sing along without thinking about it. There's one guy - his username is pastorloman - who has uploaded 98 songs with lyrics. Then just ask Windows Media Player to play them randomly and you'll get different songs every time, with the ability to jump to any song at any moment.

Viola.
