The Bible gifts us the words and symbols to draw up visual images in our mind. Psalm 150 is a great example of this.
Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him for with the harp and lyre,
praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,
praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.
Let everything that has breathe praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.
Listen to John Rutter's setting of these words to music while viewing St. Paul's Cathedral, London.
What a magnificent worship space, with so many visual components--rich in color, symbols and art!
