Back in my Assemblies of God (Pentecostal) days, we sang a lot of contemporary Christian "worship" songs at church. I vividly remember as I was reading Scripture each night with my husband (when we read a Psalm), I would find myself bursting out into acappella singing of portions of these contemporary Christian songs because they would have a verse or two of the Psalms in them. And, I also vividly remember saying to my husband, "Someone should put all of the Psalms to music so we can sing the whole thing, just like God's people did from Moses to Christ & throughout the Early Church." Little did I know, less than a decade later, I would be worshipping as a communicant member in the FCC & singing the Psalms (exclusively) in worship!
Am I the only "Reformed" Christian on this board who (at one point) had no clue that all of the Psalms could be [& should be] sung [in corporate worship]?
When did you first learn that all the Psalms were translated from the original languages & put to Metre so they could be sung in Corporate Worship as well as Family Worship?
Was there ever a time when you asked yourself a similar question concerning putting the Psalms to music that I did?
It is so amazing to hear my children singing God's Word randomly throughout the day as they play etc. It is truly a privilege & a joy! God's steadfast love endures forever.
