I played piano on my church’s worship team throughout junior high and high school. We practiced together every Friday night and early Sunday mornings before the main service. One Easter Sunday before service we were practicing the song “He’s Alive” when Dwight, our guitarist and worship leader, stopped us.
“Enunciate. We all need to enunciate better when we sing,” he said.
It’s the difference between singing ‘He’s alive’ and ‘He’s a lie.’”
That lesson has always stayed with me. The importance of articulation. The importance of enunciation. It can make a world of difference. In some instances, life or death.
Happy Easter. He’s alive.
