God’s song-book

Think about your favourite song for a moment.

What do the words say? What do they communicate?

They’re important, right? Usually, the lyrics are meaningful somehow. They tell you what the singer is thinking. They help you understand what they’re feeling.

That’s why we like listening to music – we have an emotional response to it.

And that’s why, this term, we’re looking at God’s songs. His song-book.

They’re called Psalms, and there’s a whole bunch of them in the middle of the Bible. Some of them are written by kings, some by professional musicians, and some… well, we don’t know who wrote some of them.

But they’re all about God in some way. And so we’re going to look at what’s important for these song-writers, and maybe compare what we find there to what we hear on the radio.
