All throughout the Psalms, and even in the New Testament letters to the church, there are genuine commands and exaltations for God’s people to sing to tell of his wonderful deeds, and thus remind ourselves with the power of song who God is, what he has done, and how he keeps his promises. “Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts” (Psalm 105:2). Telling of his wondrous acts not only is a witness to those around us of God’s greatness, but it is just as much a blessing to us when we use our voices to speak what God has done for us, reminding us of his goodness. Far from an obligation, God’s command for us to sing is a gift, uniting the wiring of our minds and hearts to his life-giving instructions that keep us on the road back to him. Such a command reveals God’s heart for our flourishing. Through the gift of music, he has united art with truth, offering a deeply enjoyable way for the gospel message to sink itself into our hearts. As Bob Kauflin, a songwriter and worship leader said, “There’s something about singing that both enables and encourages the rich indwelling of the word of Christ in our hearts. The ‘word of Christ’ is the gospel. It’s who Jesus is, what he’s done, and why it matters. That gospel is to dwell in us richly through singing. Singing is what helps us do that and express that.” Paul also instructs the church of Ephesus to use music as they relate to one another and mature in Christ: “… speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Ephesians 5:19). These exaltations to engage their hearts in song is a part of Paul’s guidance for the church as they learn to turn away from old ways of life that sowed division and hurt. Instead of bickering and grumbling, music would help them “walk in the way of love.”
