Emphasis Preaching Journal

The song has been an important and meaningful way of expressing human feelings since the beginning of time. From the methodical beat of primitive war drums and frenzied ceremonial war dances to the melody of a waltz or a complicated Bach fugue, people have been able to give vent to the emotions of their hearts. A good song can be helpful in many ways. A senatorial candidate may get elected with a good assist from a campaign song. Spectators may cheer on their team with a good rouser. A mother may hush her child with a soft lullaby.
