The only instrument was a drum and the praise would get so intense I could feel my heart pulsate to the rhythm of the drum. Voice, hands, feet, and the drum.

However, I find in Scripture that we can make a joyful noise unto the Lord and shout unto God with the voice of triumph. Holly, I wish you could visit my church.
