Hallels: How would you define worship? And what would constitute good and Godly worship? It's been said that worship is a lifestyle and it is. Not only that, worship is also saying to God, "if you don't do it for me, you still get the glory out of my life". Its a yearning to commune with our father and bow at His feet.

It also included a capacity crowd of more than 2, people at the Meyerson Symphony Center, many of them law enforcement officers still feeling a deep, raw grief over the loss of five from their ranks, men who were gunned down Thursday night during a protest in downtown Dallas.

She had been picked as one of two people to lead the member choir that sang during Tuesday's emotionally moving service, which ended with a presidential address.

Arbuckle said it had long been one of her dreams, an item on her "bucket list," to sing not just for any president but President Obama in particular. She picked "Total Praise," hoping to soothe, however slightly, those feeling "stress, pain, sadness and everything going on in the city right now.

She also felt doubly reassured in having picked Smallwood's song, because it shows us "where our power comes from — it comes from God.
