Season 5, Episode 7, Sing to the Lord

47, 5-7, SHOW  NOTES & COPYRIGHTS,  (3/11/2022)Today I would like to explore a little more of Making Melody to God.  Last week we started with that poem.  Unfortunately I did not include the scripture verses that inspired that poem.  But, you Dave, being ever vigilant, saw that and read the scripture after the poem.  I would like to reread the poem with the scripture and follow up with what God led me to a day or so later.Let the word (spoken by) the Christ, the Messiah, have its home (in your hearts and minds) and dwell in you in (all its) richness, as you teach and admonish and train one another in all insight and intelligence and wisdom (in spiritual things and sing) psalms and spiritual songs, making melody to God with (His) grace in your hearts.”Colossians 3:16 Amplified MAKE MELODY TO GOD, (pg 41 God's Rhyme) We sing Your Wordwhich we have heardwith our earsthroughout the years. We sing& the words ringof what You have donethru Jesus Your son. Psalms & hymnssung of HimWhose life is praised,from death he was raised. Livingfor yearsknowinglife’s fearscryinghurt tears Then, believingwithout sightacceptingnow the lightlivingthru His might. We sing even moreof His glorious splendor,of the life He has givenunlocking the gates to Heaven. Psalms, hymns & spiritual songs of His righting our wrongs,we sing of His glorythat all may hear His story.  May our living be a melodyto God & His Son’s body.May we sing with His graceIn our hearts in faith.Discussion:From Paul’s letter to the ColossiansLet the word (spoken by) the Christ, the Messiah, have its home (in your hearts and minds) and dwell in you in (all its) richness, as you teach and admonish and train one another in all insight and intelligence and wisdom (in spiritual things and sing) psalms and spiritual songs, makingmelody to God with (His) grace in your hearts.” (Amplified Bible)This is what I read in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians a couple of days after recording last week’s podcast:Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,  giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God. (NKJV)Psalms, hymns, spiritual songs, making melody to GodAs I was dwelling on what more to say, this is what came to my mind:May the Spirit lead  us.May we follow Jesus.And in voices we raiseMay we sing in praiseAs we have understoodAll that God has is good,And as we have confessedWe have been truly blessed.We read the Psalms,We have sung the songsOf praise and worshipAnd of our kinshipWith God through His Son.The battle has been...
