Although it can be sung with the same voices as and played with the same instruments as other types of music, christian music is different from other types of music. The music on other sections of this website and the music we listen to, sing or play at other times is for our own enjoyment and for that of those around us (with customer service line 'on hold' music and custom-honda-sub-woofer music being possible exceptions to this). But Christian music is not just for our own enjoyment, it is for our edification, that we may be built up as Christians and also for God's enjoyment. So what is Christian music? Christian music was around as early as Psalms and can be seen today being played by bands like Delirious, but this does not tell us much about it. Christian music is music which celebrates what God has done and praises him for it. Hallelujah comes from Hebrew and means 'Praise the Lord' and Hosanna also comes from Hebrew and means 'The Lord saves'. So next time you hear Christian music (or are singing it at Church!) remember: Celebrate what God has done for you because it is something truly worth celebrating.
As a song I think it has a lot of potential as a good worship song and I'm working on a piano accompaniment at the moment. I hope to finish it very soon.
