The Bible and Music

Although in this class we focus mostly on the songs that connect to music, we rarely look at the bible verses that talk about music. There are many bible verses that tell about how singing is an important form of worship. There have been many times in the past where I wondered why there was so much music throughout the masses I attended at my local Catholic Church. I never really thought of it as a form of worship until I got into this class. One of the bible verses that preaches song as a form of worship is Ephesians 5:19 which states: “Speak to one another with Psalms, Hymns, and songs from spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the lord.” Seeing the verses like these and listening to the topics in class, I now look at singing as a form of communication with God, where before I saw them simply as a another way to talk about God and his message.
