What Does The Bible Say About Song?

 Tonight I want to talk about what the Bible says about Song. The scriptures we are going to look at tonight are Psalm 68 verse 4, Colossians 3 verse 16, Psalm 40 verse 3, Isaiah 42 verse 10, James 5 verse 13, 3 John verse 1-2, Colossians 3 verse 14, Psalm 119 verse 105, 2 Corinthians 5 verse 17, and the last two scriptures we will look at tonight are Psalm 101 verse 1, and Psalm 95 verse 1. In the scriptures we see how God has given us a way to not only share music with others but has allowed us to share songs with others. When we give praise to God we are allowing ourselves to spend time in worship with Him. We are allowing ourselves to give thanks, and give Him the Glory and the Honor. He is worthy to be praised and we lift His name up in Worship and in Prayer. When we are talking about what the Bible says about Song, we can think of how song lyrics relate to scripture. We can think of how God has given us a song to sing in order to share His Good News with others. We think of many different ways and things. What are some things we can do to share God's Word through Song and Lyrics? How can we let others know that when we share it in this way, that they're also learning about God and what His Word says? I want to share a quote with all of you.  The quote I would like to share with you says this.

Now when we think of this we think of how God's Word can inspire us to create music whether it be a song with lyrics or without, or just creating a song in a different way. No matter how we do it, God will always make a way for us and He will help us to know that He is with us and that He is for us each day.

I want to share some lyrics with all of you and I really want the words of these lyrics to give us a better understanding, but a reminder of How God can help us learn about Him and His Word through Song.

When we think of these lyrics we can be assured that God is with us, for us, never against us and He will help us through anything that we are facing. Which brings me to what I would like to share with all of you. On Monday when I called into the Seeds Of Truth Bible Study, I was sharing some lyrics that I felt related to what we were talking about, and then as I shared my final comments on that study I mentioned how I felt like the reason I use song lyrics in my own studies with everyone is because I feel it helps me to relate to scripture, but it helps me to get a better understanding and clarity. There were other things that I shared in relation with that, but I wanted to share that particular part because I feel it helps relate back to what we have been learning about tonight. So what are other ways we can help others know about what God wants us to know about Song and Lyrics? How we can help them know that a lot of the lyrics from those songs can help relate back to scripture because a lot of them were written because of scripture? For me, I would say one of the things is to let them know who Jesus Is. Let them know how God gives a song to sing, but that God's mercies are new every morning. When we take the time to know about this and learn about it, what are some things we can take away from it? How can we be the light God wants us to be for others this week? How can we share about this in a way that someone who may not understand, but wants to understand so that they can come to know Him? 

Here are the last two things that I would like to end on tonight. The first thing says this: It is not sufficient to offer the empty vessel of our joy unto God, or our singing voice in musical tune only; but also it is required that we fill our joyful voice with holy matter and good purpose, whereby God only may be reasonably praised.

The last thing that I would like to share tonight says: Next to the Word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world.
