ACT 17:24-25²⁴God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; ²⁵Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; (Acts 17:24‑25)

God . . . dwelleth not in temples made with hands; neither is worshipped with men’s hands.

Acts 17:24, 25²⁴God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; ²⁵Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; (Acts 17:24‑25)

We can praise the Lord with music, song, instruments, voices, whatever. But true worship comes from the heart. God accepts the spontaneous thankful response of a heart that praises Him for the gift of His Son. God does not dwell in man-made edifices, nor can He be worshipped by man-made instruments. God wants your heart! As the Lord told the woman at the well (see John 4:24²⁴God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)), “They that worship Him [God] must worship Him in spirit and in truth.”
