The Hebrew Words for Praise, part II

2.TEHILLAH -teh-hil-law- to sing, to laud. A spontaneous new song. Singing from a melody in your heart by adding words to it. This refers to a special kind of singing-it is singing unprepared, unrehearsed songs. Brings tremendous unity to the body of Christ. Singing straight to God. Can move into tehilah anytime. Singing it the second time would be ZAMAR. It is the praise that God inhabits (sits enthroned on)(Psalm 22:3) God manifests Himself in the mids of exuberant singing.

Scripture: Psalms 22:3, 34:1, 40:3, 66:2, 2 Chronicles 20:22

When was the last time you had a spotaneous song? When was the last time your worship became less about the words on the screen, or in the hymnal, or on the wordsheet, and became more of a relection of the thankfulness and love from your heart to God – and how did that manifest itself?

I wonder what would happen if more Tehillah happened in our worship?
