Their song is even better if it leads us to recognise the place of songs in the human experience. We listen to songs continually - radios, C.D., T.V. Computers and even telephones carry songs. We sing songs - in church, in restaurants around karaoke microphones, in AFL football grandstands, cricket and Rugby league change rooms. Not all sing well. Footballers cannot match Pavarotti but it does not stop them.
Nature sings in a myriad of sounds.
Birds, insects, frogs, dingoes and whales all sing. Hebrew poetry in the Old Testament recognises the ability of nature to join in songs of praise. Let the sea resound and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. In this exuberant vision, the whole of creation is seen to be singing songs that ultimately reflect the Creator God. One of the best songs is sung by the Australian Magpie.
