How can I keep from singing?

edschweppeFor the first time in a long, long time, we were able to sing in church today.
Everyone was fully masked, half the pews in the sanctuary were blocked off and folks in the other half were six feet distanced, and there were approximately a zillion HEPA filters running. Not to mention that AFAIK the entire adult church membership is fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID. Still, we haven't had singing in the sanctuary since the pandemic started. We've done a fair amount of pre-recorded music, some Driveway Choir things, and had been trying out having the choir sing in the Fellowship Hall and connect to the main service via Zoom.
None of those have been what one might call fully satisfactory. And, for the moment at least, the state's COVID stats are low enough for the church to raise every voice and sing (with all those aforementioned precautions).
I gotta tell ya, folks, it felt good. Now if we can only avoid yet another upsurge in COVID cases.
