Next to theology I give to music the highest place and honor. And we see how David and all the saints have wrought their godly thoughts into verse, rhyme, and song.

What people believe most deeply, they tend to put into song rather than into argument. A thought set to music is carried differently: it can be held by a crowd, remembered for decades, and felt by someone who would not sit through the case for it. That is not decoration on the belief; it is how the belief travels.

Notice which songs have shaped what you actually think, as opposed to which you consider best. Then take something you believe and put it into a made form, a note, a letter, a tune, rather than leaving it as an opinion. Things that get made get kept.
