How do we define worship?
How do we define music?
Music is the "vocal, instrumental, or mechanical sounds having rhythm, melody, or harmony."
So how do we define worship music?
First of all, I would like to clarify that this site is focused on Christian worship music, because Yahweh is the one and only true God. Therefore, He is the only being ever worthy of worship, and the only being whose worship could mean power for His people.
If we refer to the definitions of worship and music, we can combine these to form the definition of worship. In my own words, I define worship music as the vocal, instrumental, and mechanical sounds that hold rhythm, melody, and harmony, joining together as music to honor and show reverence and devotion to God.
What makes up worship music?
The three defining, tangible parts of worship music are music, the Bible, and prayer. When formed in the right heart posture, worship music is the art of using music to pray Biblical truth to God.
Throughout this site, we will discuss how worship music is proven to be powerful when broken down into the powerful attributes of music, prayer, and the Bible separately.
We will explore the history of worship music, the three parts, current popular worship artists, and a quiz to test your understanding of the topic.
