Fill Your Heart With Praise

Music itself is a gift from God. The origin of music goes back to pre-flood days for we are told that Jubal “was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.” (Genesis 4:21) Music’s symmetry and orderly complexity testify of God’s creative hand. Music that honors the principles God designed for music will itself lift the heart and praise the Creator. The use of melody, harmony, and the balance of accompaniment in these songs from the text of Psalm 119 all work to this end. The music is designed to draw attention to the more important words from Scripture.

This is the essence of great music—that most people listening to the music will not feel entertained but ministered to. They will likely not focus on the performer, but on the Lord Himself.
