Post some of your favorite hymns to God.
To get things started, here is Fr. Seraphim bit-Karibi leading a few members of his flock in singing the Trisagion Hymn in an unfinished Church building that is being built in the country of Georgia. Although in Georgia, they are Assyrian Orthodox and singing in Aramaic -- the language of Jesus Christ when he was Incarnate among us.
A translation of the hymn in English:
"Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us!"
Here's a sweet little song from the old western caroling tradition, where people would sing and ask God's blessing upon the inhabitants of a house and usually in exchange be given some small gift.
