About this site

Music is an important part of Christian worship. As music leaders we select and prepare songs for worship every week. For each song we should be prepared to answer the question "Why is it included in Worship?" What does this song have to teach us? How is it related to a Biblical truth or concept?

Easter Hymn Sing: "Christ the Lord is Risen Today" and "Alleluia"

Alleluia or Hallelujah is an ancient word than means "Praise Yahweh".
It is traditionally what the angels sing around the throne. Singing
alleluia is our way of joining the angles and the saints around the
throne in praise of the risen Christ.

Revelation 19:1 "...I heard what sounded like the roar of a great
multitude in heaven shouting: "Hallelujah!..."
