At CLC, our desire is to joyfully proclaim the Gospel through all our ministries, music being one of them. We believe that congregational singing is not only glorifying to the Lord, but edifying and encouraging to the body of Christ. Martin Luther (a champion of music in the church) once said this about worship through music: 

“I firmly believe, nor am I ashamed to assert, that next to theology no art is equal to music; for it is the only one, except theology, which is able to give a quiet and happy mind. This is manifestly proved by the fact that the devil, the author of depressing care and distressing disturbances, almost flees from the sound of music as he does from the word of theology. This is the reason why the prophets practiced music more than any art and did not put their theology into geometry, into arithmetic, or into astronomy, but into music, intimately uniting theology and music, telling the truth in psalms and songs.”

(Luther, “Letters of 1528–1530,” WA-Br 5, p. 639; WLS 2, p. 983; cf. LW 49, p. 428)

Psalm 98 (ESV)

Oh sing to the Lord a new song,
    for he has done marvelous things!
His right hand and his holy arm
    have worked salvation for him.

The Lord has made known his salvation;
    he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations.

He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness
    to the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen
    the salvation of our God.

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth;
    break forth into joyous song and sing praises!

 Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre,
    with the lyre and the sound of melody!

 With trumpets and the sound of the horn
    make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!

Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
    the world and those who dwell in it!

 Let the rivers clap their hands;
    let the hills sing for joy together

 before the Lord, for he comes
    to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
    and the peoples with equity.
