Singing, we’re told in the Bible, has a very special design: It expresses the faith of a person’s heart. That’s why Paul says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts.
One of the methodologies for the Word dwelling in the heart is by singing and one of the ways to hide God’s Word in your heart is to take it and put it in song.

“Love can be understood only ‘from the inside,’ as a language can be understood only be someone who speaks it, as a world can be understood only by someone who lives in it.” Robert C. Solomon
