Exodus 15:1 KJV
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
Twice in this verse, the Bible says they sang "unto the Lord."
A couple of weeks ago I taught a Sunday school lesson on the subject of "psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs." The point is that not all worship singing is directed "unto the Lord." There is Christian singing that is rightly and legitimately directed to the believers, and maybe in some cases to the lost.
However, a Christian ought to realize that every song we sing is at the very least heard by the Lord. Whether the song is directed to the Lord or is meant for the edification of the Christian or even if it is meant to warn the unbeliever;
Our music out to have a spiritual content
Our music ought to be doctrinally correct
Our music out to be exalting to Christ
He is on the first row listening to every song we sing, whether with our lips or just in our heart, whether coming from our own motivation or coming from the fact that we are listening to it through some outside medium (radio, CD, mp3 or other)
