A wise person once said that the most important time in a worship service is before you enter the building. His point is that our preparation for worship (or lack of it) will make an enormous difference in how our worship is presented and received.
"Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing"--a much-loved hymn by Robert Robinson--feeds our understanding of what that might look like when its lyrics plead, "Tune my heart to sing Thy grace." Tune my heart before I sing, so I can sing, and so when I sing it blesses the heart of God.
