Sing unto the Lord.

We worship at the Changi Corps (church). It's not a big church, but we have good fellowship and Bible based messages, plus good singing. Our pastors are not afraid to try new songs and choruses.

Music plays an important part in The Salvation Army. The Bible tells us to express ourselves in "singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts. And give thanks to God the Father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ." Ephesians 5: 19-20 (NLT) Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.

We have not heard this chorus sung for a very long time. Somehow it came to us and we have been singing and enjoying it.

Make my life to be like a melody,
Every sounding out the message of the cross. (repeat first two lines)
With Jesus in my heart, no discord can arise,
For He can make the saddest strain to harmonize*
Make my life to be like a melody
Ever sounding our the message of the cross. John Wells


*(Some versions - "saddest heart" or "note" to harmonize)
