One Look at Sin, 10 at the Cross

Although sorrow for sin is certainly a legitimate aspect of worship, it should be understood as only a moment in worship, not a pervasive tone or atmosphere. In Psalm 51 and Isaiah 6, sorrow for sin soon dissolves into joy as the sinner finds forgiveness through the grace of God. The overall tone of our worship of God is to be a tone of reverent joy. –John Frame
