“Music is God’s gift to man, the only art of Heaven given to earth,
the only art of earth we take to Heaven.”
Walter Savage Landor
***
I will praise you with music,
telling of your faithfulness to all your promises,
O Holy One of Israel.
Psalm 71:22 Living Bible
***
“Music touches the heart in a way that words alone cannot.
It has the power to move us, inspire us,
and remind us of God’s unfailing love for us.”
Audrey Assad
***
Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;
celebrate his lovely name with music.
Psalm 135:3 NLT
***
The aim and final end of all music should be none other than
the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.
Johann Sebastian Bach
***
Rise up, O Lord, in all your power.
With music and singing we celebrate your mighty acts.
Psalm 21:13 NLT
***
Music speaks what cannot be expressed;
Soothes the mind and gives it rest;
Heals the heart and makes it whole;
Flows from heaven to the soul.

***
For He is the King of all the earth. Sing praise, all who can.
Put words to music, and then sing praises.
Psalm 47:7 The Voice
***
Music isn’t just a pleasure, a transient satisfaction.
It’s a need, a deep hunger; and when the music is right, it’s joy.
Love. A foretaste of heaven. A comfort in grief.
Is it too much to think that perhaps God speaks to us sometimes through music?
How, then, could I be so ungrateful as to refuse the message?
Orson Scott Card
***
Sing, all you who remain faithful!
Pour out your hearts to the Eternal with praise and melodies;
let grateful music fill the air and bless His name.
Psalm 30:4 The Voice
