It’s very easy to mouth the words and let our minds wander!

Why do you sing?

The better we understand the purpose, the better our worship will be.

Examples of singing in the Bible:

• Exodus 15:1-21 – Singing to praise God for deliverance.

• Judges 5:1-31 – Singing to praise God for redemption from the Canaanite army.

• II Samuel 22:1-51 – David sang to praise God for deliverance from his enemies.

• I Chronicles 16:23-25

• Psalms 13:6

• Psalms 59:16-17

God’s design has always been for people to sing in praise for deliverance or salvation.

Romans 15:9-12

Ephesians 5:19-20

Colossians 3:15-16 – We should praise God for His salvation.

James 5:13 – It is natural to pray when afflicted. The Christian who is merry for his redemption will naturally sing praises.
