Do We Practice What
We Sing?
When we sing we make statements to God and about God. Words
mean something. They mean something to God, they mean something
to others, and they should mean something to us. We should sing
from “the heart” (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16).
Consider the implications of these statements we regularly sing:
1. “Jesus is all the world to me”
2. “Give me the Bible”
3. “I’ll be a friend to Jesus”
4. “More about Jesus would I know”
5. “My Jesus, I love thee”
6. “None of self and all of Thee”
7. “All to Jesus I surrender”
8. “Take my life, and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to thee”
9. “This world is not my home”
10. “Nearer my God to thee”
If Jesus is all the world to me, then I will “seek first” His
kingdom (Matthew 6:33). If I really want the Bible and I truly
want to know more about Jesus, then I will study everyday (Acts
17:11; Psalm 1:1-3). If I am a true friend to Jesus, then I will
do what He says (John 15:14). If I genuinely love Jesus, I will
keep His commands (John 14:15). If my desire is to be nearer
to God, then I will be at every worship service I possibly can
(Hebrews 10:25; Acts 2:42). How can I sing about consecration
to the Lord and not be actively involved in the work of the church
(I Corinthians 15:58; Titus 3:1)? How can I spend my life focused
only on this world and what it has to offer, and then sing “This
world is not my home”? The writer of Hebrews said, “For
here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come” (Hebrews
13:14).
