Listened to this song yesterday during my quiet time and remember singing this song in 1971 every time it came on the radio. "I Just Want to Celebrate!" Then I think, "Well our generation got something right", even though our parents thought it was the "Devil's Music." What do you think about today's music? Some churches think that if it is not in the hymnbook then it's not spiritual. WRONG!
On the weekend, I get closer to the Lord by my vertical worship (standing, praising, and worship that looks up ) rather than the horizontal worship (sitting and reading from a songbook where no real involvement is required).
We can become extremely emotional at any sports event, but not when it comes to worship. In fact I encountered a lady here in town that said that the "wild music played in churches today is a disgrace to God and the church is hell bound". I asked if she had ever been in a worship service where the music is not from the hymnal and she said, "No, but she saw the wild music on TV and thought it was an abomination. Sadly she is quite vocal on something she has never experienced and never plans on it.
Each day should be a new day of praise and celebration. So . . .
What can get you going more that taking a deep breath of fresh air and letting the music talk to you? It is in making a joyful noise until the Lord that each day can be fulfilling.
Click on the link below and come back and sing along with the lyrics. See if your day doesn't go better as you "groove" to the sounds I grew up with in the 60's and 70's. Celebrate today!
I just want to celebrate another day of livin'
I just want to celebrate another day of life
I put my faith in the people
But the people let me down
So I turned the other way
And I carry on, anyhow
That's why I'm telling you
I just want to celebrate, yeah, yeah
I just want to celebrate, yeah, yeah
Another day of living,
I just want to celebrate another day of life
Had my hand on the dollar bill
And the dollar bill blew away
But the sun is shining down on me
And it's here to stay
That's why I'm telling you
I just want to celebrate, yeah, yeah
Another day of living, yeah
I just want to celebrate another day of living
I just want to celebrate another day of life
Don't let it all get you down,
Don't let it turn you around and around
And around and around
Well, I can't be bothered with sorrow
And I can't be bothered with hate, no, no
I'm using up my time by feeling fine, every day
That's why I'm telling you I just want to celebrate
Aw, yeah
I just want to celebrate yeah yeah
Another day of living, yeah yeah
I just want to celebrate another day of livin', yeah
I just want to celebrate another day of life
Don't let it all get you down, no, no
Don't let it turn you around and around,
And around and around, and around
Around round round
'round and around round round round
don't go 'round
