Why do people sing in church?

Me:  So, Xin. How did you like the experience today at the mosque? I’m interested in knowing what you think, since you offer the most unbiased view.
Xin: Well, over here everything is too formal. At the church I go to, it is more like a social gathering. There is a lot of music too, and people sing along.
Me: Oh yeah, I’ve heard about those kind of churches. Xin, have you ever thought about why people sing in churches?
Xin: I don’t know. Maybe to wake up God, and get his attention? I mean God has to listen to so many people. You need to grab his attention some how.
