Sacred Songs are defined by scripture in 1 Chronicles 16: 42. Singing in worship quickens the wellspring within your soul & spirit. Worship causes your heart to bubble up with Holy Spirit as JESUS declared in John 7:37,38.
It is so important to develop a heart for worship as an individual but corporate worship has a value & impact that we have yet to realize in it's full power & capacity!
5 Kings in The Old Testament established Sacred Song.
After The Exile Nehemiah, The Governor Re Establishes The Singing Order being the sixth in succession.
JESUS sings in the upper room preceeding His walk to the Garden of Gethsemene, being the 7th in a historic Procession of Singing King & Priest.

David establishes martial Song. In Isaiah 55:3-5, The LORD names David as Commander. Following David's strategy & precedent...
4 succeeding kings reestablish The Singing Order of Priests. Solomon, Jehoshaphat, Hezekiah, Josiah.
Nehemiah, The Cupbearer to the King, reiterates this strategy. Jesus fulfills The Singer in The Upper Room....for He is The Song of Songs.
Scripture is clearly defining the role of Singing Priest. In the Counsel of The Elders, in Acts 15, James, the brother of Jesus, reiterates the prophecy of The Tent of David. The importance of The Sacred Song cannot be overstated.
Song 1-16 are established in The Old Testament. There are 8 more Sacred Songs in The New Testament. See next blog.
