The Music in Worship

May my lips overflow with praise, for you teach me your decrees.
                                                                                                  ---Psalm 119:171

Music is define as an art form whose medium is sound and silence. It affects our senses based on how we internalize and interpret every word it encompasses. Secular music differs from Christian music (based on my observation). Secular music triggers our mental and emotional senses but not on the level of our spirit. Our soul may not be fully moved (by any song) because it doesn’t connect to our spirit however, that could only happen when the lyrics orchestrated and connected with the Divine Light (Our God). The song ignites more meaning and bearing as it upholds truth, love and security from God. Songs that connect our spirit assures our soul to be more fully equipped with love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (the fruit of the Holy Spirit).

Worship with music is also an act of honoring God that develops within us a joyful heart and spirit...


Some songs are like a soothing balm that heals...

Invite our feet to dancing...


and create intimacy with God through praying in singing.




Song of these kinds ignites our senses as we welcome the Holy Spirit to connect with our spirit and commune with Jesus Christ through praise. As we sing, it transcends our worship like an aroma of sweet perfume to the Father --- Our God. It is an act of gratitude of saying and blessing our heart to God as He blesses us with His Word in return. It’s a two-way communication… from us (by praise and worship) to Him and from Him (by listening the Word of God) to us.

Indeed, learning to appreciate music in its kind can be more enjoying and interesting to listen to. Reminiscing the moments by singing in worship inspires us how God turns sadness to joy, pain to healing, mourning to dancing, from loving less to be more loving. These are some of the finest things that transformed in our lives through music that are so precious and worth remembering. =)
