True worship can only take place when we as Christians are transparent before God with humble hearts. We must allow ourselves to be real before God. Whether we are singing a Hymn or Praise and Worship, the reality is that it does not really matter what style our preference is; the real matter is the heart. A pure, transparent soul before God is what our Savior desires.
