Worship Without a Song to Sing?

I recently came across an very creative article by Tom Kraeuter called "Worship Songs On Strike". Written as a fictitious press release / news story, it's one of the most interesting approaches I've seen to writing about worship ever; personifying worship songs and having them walk out of churches because people aren't singing them with sincerity - if at all. Perhaps worth checking out.

Kinduv a side-thought in a similar vein; what would I do, what would you do to express your love and worship for God if we didn't have songs to sing to Him? Singing is often the easy way to worship and therefore abused and taken for granted. I lead the singing of worship for a living. I love it, and I'm so glad God has given all of us that natural human expression to respond to Him.

But what would we do to show our appreciation for our God if we didn't have that outlet? - If all the songs "walked off the job" and left us without that option? Perhaps things we should all be doing anyways?
