Deuteronomy 32:4. “He is the Rock, His work is perfect: for all of His ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He.” THE SONG. A song with a message from God is important The message to be sung by all people at once. In this way the words can not be mistaken – Everyone sang the same words of the song.
Their song was first a song of God’s blessing - Giving the doctrine God wanted them to know. He is the “Rock” whose words are perfection – Look around you, His creation works do show.
But they lightly esteemed the “Rock” of salvation – Forgetting the “Rock” who had saved them at first. So the “Rock” would sell them to another nation – Their rock who bought them was not the “Rock” with a heart.
God’s truth given to us is never to be taken lightly – We’ve been entrusted with light from our “Rock” who is Lord. The songs that we sing should never be flighty – As united, our voices in song teach the Word.
Some songs in the Gospel we sing to give warning – Other hymns we sing to give God our praise. Together in songs we worship Lord’s Day morning – Words of remembrance together we raise.
O let us not forget the blessing of song in communion – As God’s people as one, raise their voice unto Him. Worshiping and praising our “Rock” of salvation – With songs that are spiritual and the words of our hymns.
“There is a simple beauty in the oneness, O God, when Thy people join voices to sing. We think the same thoughts and express them together as we focus, as one, on the message in words. Whether the number who sing is few, or a great congregation, the sound of voices joining in praise, testimony and worship warms my heart. We sang yesterday in a small mountain village, with only a few voices, but it lifted my heart as we exalted the Lord Jesus Christ. May I always have a song in my heart to share with others and together give praise to Thee. Amen.”
