Singing the Songs of Jesus
Michael LefebvrePaperback 2011-11-20
The Psalms were originally composed for singing, not just reading. In both the Old and New Testament congregations and through much of Church history, the primary use of the Psalms was singing. Today there is a renewed interest in Psalmody, but few books explain how the Psalms function as hymns or how they can be sung in Christ-centred worship. Singing the Songs of Jesus fills that gap. This book does not shy away from those features, which might initially make Psalm-singing seem awkward - like the doubts and curses interspersed with their praises. Instead, this study shows why the Psalms are perfectly suited for Christian praise and how to use them for powerful, reverential, relevant Christ-centred worship.
