There
is also another companion passage found in Ephesians 5:19-21, “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in
the fear of God.”
I
would like to take a brief moment to remind Christian musicians of the main
reasons that we music mentioned in Colossians 3:16. First, we must always
music “in the name of the Lord Jesus”.
The Greek word used her is kurios (2962)
which connotes supreme authority, or the one who is the Christian’s Savior,
Lord and Master. Christian musicians
often tend to get lost in the fact that they are giving a music performance or
that they work for and represent a particular church or Christian organization.
All of the above may be true, but a Christian musician’s supreme authority is
God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
