From the beginning of the Methodist movement, we have sung. John Wesley directed the denomination, and his brother Charles wrote hymns of faith to sing. As United Methodists, we sing our faith, and our songs are about calling out to God. So, over the next few weeks together, let’s turn to the song book that has sustained and defined the people of God from the very beginning: the Psalms. The Psalms give words to a variety of emotions and circumstances out of which we call upon the Lord from the depths of who we are and these words to give voice to people in our communities who may feel unheard even by God. The witness of the Psalms is that God is prepared to meet us where we are. So let us call upon the Lord as we “Worship from the Depths.”
