When your heart is full of Christ, you will want to sing. –Spurgeon
And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. Isaiah 35:10
Prior to my salvation the music I listened to, let’s just say, wasn’t pleasing to the Lord. It pumped me up feeding the desires my flesh. It gave me an emotional high much like that of someone on some mind altering drug. After the high was gone, I had to feed it again and again and again. It never satisfied!
What the world’s music could never do, God’s music has done for me and many others time and time again! It gave me something really to sing about! Not only does it fill our heart with joy, it feeds the Spirit in such a way that builds us up to have a deeper, richer, walk with Jesus! It is just like chorus to a very well known congregational song, ”Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweetest name I know, fills my every longing, keeps me singing as I go!”
Don’t keep those songs to yourself, sing them! And when you do, you’re giving this lost, dying, and hurting world something to sing about as well!
