HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY WRITING CHRISTIAN MUSIC LYRICS ABOUT GOD AND SINGING SONGS OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP TO GOD THE FATHER, LORD JESUS OUR SAVIOUR AND THE HOLY SPIRIT OUR COMFORTER IS SO IMPORTANT?
Our God, is worthy to receive glory and honor and power, for He created all things and by His will we were created and have our being. (Revelation 4:11)
In the Book of Psalms we are reminded and exhorted to sing to the Lord with all sorts of musical instruments and composing christian music lyrics based on the Word of God, boasting of His love, goodness, mercy, holiness, forgiveness and in His Sovereignty over all His creations.
But why does God desire our Worship?
The reason being He created us for His pleasure and He inhabits the praises of His people. Worship is an intimate expression of LOVE between God and us. Writing and singing anointed songs is an outward expression of our inner devotion to Him.
Even the angelic hosts sang songs to God in a loud voice saying, "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" (Revelation 5).
God Deserves our adoration, He Requires our undivided devotion and He Enables us to be a true worshiper.
God created music
He appoints and anoints people to compose lyrics about Him and to play musical instruments skillfully. (2 Chronicles 5)
The next time we worship God, don't just recite the words BUT let us sincerely mean what we sing and stay in tune with the Holy Spirit. The words we sing and a cleansed heart through the blood of Christ, aid us in opening the door to enter into the Throne Room where HIS MAJESTYis seated.
The Lord doesn't require eloquent words, unusual philosophy or beautiful singing voice. He is seeking for true worshippers and committed hearts.
Only then can we experience the joy of being in the presence of the Almighty - El Shaddai. (2 Chronicles 5 :11-14)
Today, we have access to all sorts of Bible based Christian music lyrics and in various langauges such as in Spanish, Russian, Hindi, Tagalog, Hebrew, Mandarin, Tamil, Malayalam, Indonesian, Mandarin, Italian, French, etc.
God made us different, thus we express differently
We can select hymns, black gospel music, contemporary christian worship music, songs of praise and worship choruses, southern gospel, christian pop and rock, christian rap, christian country, worship instrumental music and many more. There are DVDs, CD's, tapes, videos, song books, karaoke song chips and YouTube to aid us.
Instruments such as the harp, lyre, cymbals, trumpets, guitar, piano, keyboard, organ, drums, clarinet, flute, Hebrew musical instruments, etc, can be used. Whatever instrument we have and are able to play, let's use it to make a sweet melody to the Lord who takes great delight in those who love and obey Him.
If we can't play an instrument, we could use christian music lyric accompaniment DVD, Karaoke, tapes, etc. Be creative and most of all, just BE OUR UNIQUE SELF.
Moving melodies hold out a warm welcome to uninvited guests in our midst, comforts the broken, brings refreshment to the lonely, and assurance to the discouraged. When congregations sing the praises of the King, the demonic forces flee or stand at attention.
Think of the Worship Music Lyrics you sing, as a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to the Most High God.
