My last post was Choruses we used to sing or that I know from the Book of the Psalms. I only gave the choruses we sang from Book 1 of Psalms. Do I hear someone say, “Book 1 of Psalms? What are you talking about?” The Psalms are divided into five books and a good place to read about this is here. This post is from books 2 and 3.
It looks like a lot, doesn’t it? But as I wrote last time, we wanted to sing Scripture songs. They are short so you can easily sing several. They are usually easy to learn and sing. And best of all, you are singing the Word of God. Praise and worship music has changed a lot over the years, so a good question is, If I were in a leadership position in a church again, would I introduce these songs? Yes, I would!
And like I said last time, I encourage you to go through and sing what you know. Remember, God “inhabits the praises of His people” and “a merry heart doeth good like a medicine” (we know a chorus from that verse as well!).
