Music is such a wonderful gift from God. We’ve seen in our study that God created music for His honor and glory, to declare His worth and to encourage us in the Lord. We’ve seen that God sings and He is surrounded by song as the angels sing His praises. God not only gave us song to declare His worth but also to declare the truth of His Word.
Psalm 119:54 says, “Your decrees are the theme of my song wherever I lodge.” What a declaration – no matter where I am, God’s Word is the theme of my song. No matter the circumstance, no matter where you find me, the Truth of God’s Word is the theme of my song.
The book of Psalms is full of songs declaring God’s truth but there are also other songs throughout the Bible. In Exodus 15 Moses and the Israelites sang a song to the Lord declaring His faithfulness and might after delivering them out of Egypt. They sang, “The Lord is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation.” In Luke 1 Mary sang a song to glorify the Lord and to rejoice in God her Savior. The book of Revelation is full of songs around the Throne of God, songs sung by angels and saints, declaring God’s holiness and His worth.
You see when we experience God, when we experience His faithfulness or when He gives us a glimpse of Himself, the response is to burst forth in song whether you’re a gifted musician or someone who just makes a joyful noise. Oh what a joy to declare that the Lord is our song and His decrees are the theme of our song!
The most powerful songs that you can sing are those that are Scripture put to music. Check out a few of these.

These are some great songs to add to your collection. Sing His Word and make His decrees the theme of your song wherever you are!
