Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote a short sonnet titled “How Do I
Love Thee” which has been famously quoted many times. She is trying to
capture the heart that overflows with love for someone. The words that
she finds don’t seem to be quite enough, no matter how big they are. And
the love she’s expressing is all-encompassing: from youth to old age,
from joys to sorrows. While we can understand this concept in romantic
love or infatuation, we often do not associate it with our worship. Yet
David gushes about God in this psalm. His love and praise seem to search
for descriptions big enough to capture what he is thinking and feeling.
But if you had to sum up his point, it could probably be done with one
word: sing. We are invited to sing and make music to our Lord for more
reasons than we can count. This song is destined to be one of joy and
gratitude. But before we find our way to hearts that are full, we have
to be ready to use music with everything we have to express our love for
our Lord!
