Harp and bowl

Harp and bowl

Harp and Bowl - its name derived from [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%205:8&version=31 Revelation 5:8] - is a type of worship. It is music that is integrated into prayer, the "harp" representing the music and the "bowl" being representative the prayer of the saints (Christians) that are constantly going up like incense before the throne of God. In other words, prayer that is sung or spoken along with music. This type of worship is used in sustaining long periods of worship - for instance, the International House of Prayer in Kansas City has used this method of worship to sustain a prayer meeting since September 1999.

A common feature of harp and bowl is antiphonal singers, who use the Bible as a song book, singing and declaring the Word of God along with instruments that accompany the singers. In Harp and Bowl, the major focus is not the singers or the musicians, but the One being worshiped in such a setting. Harp and Bowl is not a new device, but has been used for thousands of years in hundreds of different settings throughout Judaism and Christianity.Fact|date=February 2007
