Sing the Scriptures

Scripture isn’t just meant to be studied—it’s meant to be sung. When we sing the Word, it moves from our minds to our hearts. It becomes memory, melody, and meditation. Paul encouraged the early church to let the Word dwell richly through “psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs” (Colossians 3:16). This devotion explores how worship songs that quote scripture directly can deepen our faith and transform our worship.

Why Singing Scripture Matters

• It reinforces memory: melodies help us retain truth

• It engages emotion: music connects head and heart

• It invites meditation: repetition allows deeper reflection
