The Most Beautiful Sound

I heard the most beautiful sound Sunday night.
It was the cacophony of singing at church.
Now, our church isn't known for what you would call "beautiful" worship.
We have one guitar, we could use some intensive classes in clapping as a group, and the church as a whole has trouble carrying a tune.
But on Sunday night something got into the multitude of kids we had.
They decided to sing for all they were worth, at points you could have classified it more as shouting and less as singing.
And it was beautiful.
All I could think of, during this assault on the eardrums, was how the majority of these kids had never been to an evangelical church six months ago.
They began coming...mostly for the snack.
And now they sing, or rather, make a joyful noise.
