“Sing to One Another & Sing to the Lord”

"Speak to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the LORD" (Ephesians 5:19).

"Oh, sing to the LORD a new song! Sing to the LORD, all the earth" (Psalm 96:1).

Why sing?

• Why did David sing (I Chronicles 16)?

  David wrote at least seventy-three psalms that expressed fear, joy, excitement, praise and thankfulness. The song in I Chronicles is thankful for the wonderful works God had performed for His people through the ages.

• Why did Mary sing (Luke 1:46-55)?

  After being told she would serve as the mother of God's Son, she expressed her awe at what God was preparing to do — through her.
