As to singing praises to God who cannot get enough praise? It is a natural response of humans to sing in praise and celebration. We sing about our countries, we sing on birthdays, we sing to celebrate special secular days of the year, we sing in Hollywood specials, we sing a sweet tune when we are happy. Why, then, is it so strange to sing to God?
Some look at the praise of God and say, "What kind of God is this that has such an ego that He needs us to praise and worship Him?"
That is the question asked the wrong way around. It should be "What kind of creatures are we that we have the need to praise and worship?" We praise and worship athletes and movie stars and singers and company CEOs. And these people invite it. They don't beg for it, though. And we don't question this. Yet we question it when we do it for God?
No, my friends. This is the way we are. We praise and worship those we adore, those we admire, those we hold in high esteem. And songs are one of those methods of communicating our adoration.
We humans do it for other people and other things. Why shouldn't we do it for the God who created us?
