The Word And The Song
If we have experienced the grace and peace of Christ, the Word of God will feel at home in our hearts. Rich spiritual treasures bless lives who take time to read, study, and memorize God's Word.
Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to The Lord.
Spiritual singing goes in three directions: "inward"---to self; "outward"---to others; and "upward"---to God. It should come from the heart. I love songs with scripture, songs of testimony, and songs of hope and praise.
Many a gospel song has carried me through a trial, humbled my heart to worship and praise. You just have to have a song.
