God Gives The Song
Dreamlab Recording Studio is a Christian business. Our faith is the source of our inspiration in music and in all that we do. The Bible is filled with Psalms (songs) of praise.
Sing a new song to the LORD! Sing to the LORD, all the world! Sing to the LORD, and praise him! Proclaim every day the good news that he has saved us. Proclaim his glory to the nations, his mighty deeds to all peoples. The LORD is great and is to be highly praised; he is to be honored more than all the gods. Psalm 96:1-4
Music is more than just creative expression. It is a powerful tool to convey deep spiritual truth. We remember lyrics to songs for a lifetime and those songs will live on for from generation to generation. The right song can turn stir up deep feelings that were long forgotten.
We can play all the instruments on your project or your can play them yourself... We'll even sing backup for you....
THIS IS WHY WE PRAISE HIM!
Because He Is Worthy...
The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.(Revelation 4:10-11)
This is the scene that John saw in his vision of heaven. The elders that gather around God's throne worship Him day and night. The song they sing is "Thou art Worthy". God is worthy to receive glory honor and power because He is the creator of all things. John goes on to tell us of more about the elder's song. Thou art worthy for you were slain and have redeemed us by your blood. Yes, God is worthy; worthy because He created us, and worthy because He shed His blood to redeem His fallen creation.
Because He Inhabits Our Praise...
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. (Psalm 22:3)
Our praise attracts His presence. Oh, how we need His presence! King David said, "In Your presence is fulness of Joy." The joy of the Lord is our strenth. When we praise Him He shows up right in the middle of our circumstance to bring us the victory.
God is not insecure, He doesn't need our praise to prop up a sagging self image. Praise does far more for us than it does for Him. When we praise God for what He has done in the past we realize what He is able to do for us in our present situation. When we praise God for who He is we exalt His character and remind ourselves of His love, grace, mercy and power.
Praise Brings the Victory...
King Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah were in a real pickle. They had enemies from the north, the west, and the south attacking at once. After a time of prayer and fasting God spoke through a prophet. "You will not even have to fight in this battle for the battle is the Lord's." The King believed the prophets word and sent the praise team and choir out ahead of the army. The scripture says, "He appointed people to sing to the LORD and praise him for the beauty of his holiness. As they went in front of the troops, they sang, "Thank the LORD because his mercy endures forever!" As they started to sing praises, the LORD set ambushes against the Ammonites, Moabites, and the people of Mount Seir who had come into Judah. They were defeated!" (2Chronicles 20:21-22)
We may not face physical armies but we are certainly in battle for our very lives. The apostle Paul said, "Fight the good fight of faith." Praise is our best defence. The word Judah literally means praise. When the people of Israel marched into battle they always sent Judah first. When you face a crisis, send Judah first. Make praise your first line of defence.
Praise Brings Freedom...
Paul and Silas were arrested for preaching the Gospel. They were arrested, beaten and cast into prison. They were shackled and chained. They had every reason to be angry, depressed and defeated but instead they praise God. Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God. The other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly, a violent earthquake shook the foundations of the jail. All the doors immediately flew open, and all the prisoners' chains came loose. (Act 16:25-26)
In the midnight hour when things are dark, Praise Him! When you feel mistreated or misunderstood, Praise Him! When you are facing physical or emotional pain, Praise Him! Don't wait for things to get better. Praise Him and things will get better.
