What state do you live in?
Sounds like your those rules are Draconian — and in defiance of the Bible. It would be horrible to be in church and not sing, I think. The best thing ever is to hear a large congregation belt out all four parts of “Wonderful Grace Of Jesus”.
“Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;” Ephesians 5:19
We believe that God tells us to obey the government — up to the point where it goes against God’s commands. The ministers I know are prepared to be arrested.
I live in Florida, and we actually haven’t been told by the state that we ca’t sing...the churches, not just mine but all of the mainline churches, are worse than the state in this case. Someone said that they’re all afraid of being sued. I guess that’s possible, but just have people sign a waiver if you’re worried about being sued. And maybe trust in the Lord a bit? He seems to be the last thing on their minds...
