Ephesians 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
I’m glad God likes gospel music. I’m pretty sure the Apostle Paul had no clue that 21st Century Christians would make melody in their hearts to the lord from hundreds of hymns and spiritual songs stuffed inside a hand-held metal container. My Ipod goes where I go and is always playing gospel music in the car.
The following lyrics to a song we sang many years ago explains how precious The Lord’s music is to me. Maybe you remember this song penned by Ira Stanphill..
You can have a melody down in your heart, when it's aching, almost breaking
Even though the sorrow makes the teardrop start, you can have a melody down in your heart.
You can have a song in your heart in the night, ---After every trial, after every mile
Anyone can sing when the sun's shining bright ---But you need a song in your heart at night.
