Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs

Music as a Way to Communicate Your Love for GodThe Bible says that believers ought to be continually teaching and admonishing each other by singing to God from grateful hearts: "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing in grace (gratitude) to the Lord" Colossians 3:16. This kind of singing is a way for Christians to communicate their love to God and express it to others.Paul deemed personal singing so important that he referred to it once again in another epistle. When saying the saints should be filled with the Holy Spirit, Paul wrote that this filling involves "talking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs; singing and playing music from your hearts to the Lord; giving thanks about everything in the name of the Lord" Ephesians 5:19-20. The ability of born-again Christians to give thanks for ALL is rooted in their God-given knowledge that the Lord has promised to make everything turn out for good in the end (I Corinthians 15:28 and Philippians 4:8.) The practices of singing Psalms and other Bible passages in divine worship has been adopted in Christian services from the dawn of the early church down to today.People who do not read music can have a friend help them learn the melodies. They can also access an mp3 audio stored with each song at the web site www.godsavesall.org. The mp3 will serve as an accompaniment for singing.
