What Song is Recorded in the Bible?

In Scripture, we see that music is used for glorifying and worshipping God, telling of his great deeds, offering outlets for both lament and praise, and providing unity to God’s people. We also see that an appreciation of the songs recorded in the Bible provides a fuller understanding of a greater story: God claiming the hearts of people from every culture and walk of life to become a part of his song in Heaven. Music is also a tool for teaching theology. Knowledge of God is woven throughout inspired songs, such as the Psalms. “There is (according to Paul) a definite relationship between our knowledge of the Bible and our expression of worship in song. One way we teach and encourage ourselves and others is through the singing of the Word of God. But if we do not know the Bible and understand it, we cannot honestly sing it from our hearts” writes Warren W. Wieserbe on the meaning of Colossians 3. Engaging in theologically rich music is like choosing to linger in a treasure trove, a room full of precious gems that bring color and texture to the way you value knowing God. Joining words of faithful teaching to melodies that move us is a way that we can meditate on what is true, and thus allow the holistic work of music to connect our heads to our hearts, where true change and transformation takes place. David reflected this when he penned the Psalms.

7 ምሳሌውንም ይመስል ጀመር፥እንዲህም አለ፦ ባላቅ ከአራም አመጣኝ፥ የሞዓብ ንጉሥ ከምሥራቅ ተራሮች፤ ና፥ ያዕቆብን ርገምልኝ፤ ና፥ እስራኤልን ተጣላልኝ ብሎ። 8 እግዚአብሔር ያልረገመውን እንዴት እረግማለሁ? እግዚአብሔር ያልተጣላውን እንዴት እጣላለሁ? (ዘኍልቍ 23: 7-8 )

19 ሐሰትን ይናገር ዘንድ እግዚአብሔር ሰው አይደለም፥ ይጸጸትም ዘንድ የሰው ልጅ አይደለም። እርሱ ያለውን አያደርገውምን? የተናገረውንስ አይፈጽመውምን? 20 እነሆ፥ ለመባረክ ትእዛዝን ተቀብያለሁ፤ እርሱ ባርኮአል፥ እመልሰውም ዘንድ አልችልም። 21 በያዕቆብ ላይ ክፋትን አልተመለከተም፥ በእስራኤልም ጠማምነትን አላየም፤ አምላኩ እግዚአብሔር ከእርሱ ጋር ነው፥ የንጉሥም እልልታ በመካከላቸው አለ። (ዘኍልቍ 23: 19 )

God is good

"16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil."( John 3 : 16 -19)

" 9 For the Lord's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. 10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. " (Deut 32 : 9-10)

" 11 Bless, Lord, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again." (Deut 33 : 11 )
