As long as we live, there is never enough singing.

The saying expresses an expansive, life-affirming view of music: singing is not a dispensable ornament but a continual human and spiritual need. Read in a Lutheran frame, it aligns with the Reformation emphasis on congregational song and vernacular hymnody as a means of teaching faith, strengthening communal bonds, and sustaining courage amid hardship. More broadly, it suggests that as long as life endures, the impulse to sing—whether in worship, work, or consolation—remains inexhaustible, because joy, grief, gratitude, and hope continually generate new reasons for song.
