Musicing about
God, for God with God’s Grace-part 2
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.
