Creation
God is creative. The very first thing we learn about God in the very first book of the Bible is that He likes to create things. When we worship, we imitate God by creating from nothing something that is good and pleasing to Him. When someone writes a worship song they create something that did not exist before to honor God and when God's people join in singing it they create with their voices harmony and sound where there was only empty air before. Worship though is not limited to music or singing but springs forth wherever something good is created to fill a chasm - whether it is art, speech, text, prayer, good deeds, etc. In fact, one could define worship in this way: worship is the act of imitating God by creating what is good as an offering of love to Him.
