© 2007-2008 This study was prepared for the midweek studies of the Sunrise Acres church of Christ in El Paso, TX by Brian A. Yeager. This
study may be used for edification and teaching, but is not to be sold or used by lazy preachers who visit this site on Wednesdays and
Saturdays as a means to aid them in not doing their own studying.

Below you will find a study of the terms within some of the songs Christians often sing in worship to God. There are three
reasons this study is good. The first, we must assure that all we say and do is in accordance with the will of God (Colossians
3:17; cf. John 4:23-24). Secondly, we must make sure that we understand what we are saying when we worship God in song
(I Corinthians 14:15). Finally, we teach and admonish one another when we sing (Colossians 3:16), thus it is necessary to
assure we are speaking those things which befit sound doctrine (Titus 2:1). These questions and answers are the conclusions
reached in a public study by the Sunrise Acres church of Christ in El Paso, TX. We encourage input from those who may find
authority to sing something that we were unable to find. However, we have decided not to sing those songs we cannot show
to be right (Romans 14:23; cf. Romans 10:17). We are not "the brotherhood's conscience", but share these studies to benefit
all. - Brian A. Yeager
