Exactly. Let us remember that singing about the Lord is a form of MINISTRY!!! When you are singing, you are not only singing to believers, but to unbelievers as well. You are ministering to people's hearts, minds, souls, etc. There may be someone out there who are dealing with a lot of painful things in their lives, but hearing certain gospel songs enough times can possibly help to ease that pain (Donnie McClurkin's song, "Stand" is a perfect example). Also remember that a great number of these songs are actually Holy Scriptures that have been put in musical form, so people are actually hearing and having the Word of God fed to them as well.
