Melody Ministry

"Put on charity.... And let the peace of God rule in your hearts.... Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord" (Colossians 3:14-16).

Now let the treasures of ministry stored
In Psalms and in hymns and in spiritual songs,
Compose in our hearts a song to the Lord
To whom all our worship so rightly belongs!

Now let the Word of Christ in us dwell
In wisdom and teaching and singing with grace,
Admonishing others (and ourselves as well)
To look unto Jesus while running our race.

Now let the love of our God and His peace
So rule in our hearts by His Spirit's control,
That fruit may abound, that grace may increase,
And joy will inspire the song of our soul.
