List of Some Beautiful Songs for you in the Holy Bible: Read and what's your view

Strong Men and Women of God have been singing for ages now. Hope you like singing? Check out these biblical songs/hymns below, most especially, the lyrics and their meanings....

(1) Song of Songs (Songs of King Solomon):

The woman asks the man of her heart and dreams to close his own heart to any other love but hers which means that she acknowledges that there are other women that love him. She also makes a request that he should not to sleep with any other woman but her. Romantic love and passion is described as been as powerful as death itself. The siblings of the young lady boasts about her nice stature, shape and beauty and are very ready to protect her from men depending on what the situation may require while the man she loves glories in his wealth. King Solomon had a real estate business in which he rented pieces of land on his vineyard to farmers for good sums of money. The woman warns that her love for him is not because of his money/wealth because if he had tried to buy her love with his money, he would have gotten only contempt by all means possible but now all he has from her asides from her existing love for him is peace and contentment because even if he is wealthy, he got her by merit and God's mighty grace and not because of his immense wealth. If the woman claims she has found peace and contentment, it simply means the man now has peace and contentment from her because that is what she has to offer to him totally asides from her romantic love and passion.

NOTE THAT:

(I) THE WOMAN USES NICE KEYWORDS QUALIFY THE MAN SHE LOVES LIKE:

(A) MY LOVE

(B) MY LOVER

(II) THE MAN USES NICE KEYWORD TO QUALIFY THE WOMAN HE LOVES LIKE "MY LOVE."

According to Song of Songs 8: 5-14

THE WOMEN SINGS:

WHO IS THIS COMING FROM THE DESERT, ARM IN ARM WITH HER LOVER?

THE WOMAN SINGS:

UNDER THE APPLE TREE I WOKE YOU, IN THE PLACE WHERE YOU WERE BORN. CLOSE YOUR HEART TO EVERY LOVE BUT MINE; HOLD NO ONE IN YOUR ARMS BUT ME. LOVE IS AS POWERFUL AS DEATH; PASSION IS AS STRONG AS DEATH ITSELF. IT BURSTS INTO FLAME AND BURNS LIKE A RAGING FIRE. WATER CANNOT PUT IT OUT; NO FLOOD CAN DROWN IT. BUT IF ANYONE TRIED TO BUY LOVE WITH WEALTH, CONTEMPT IS ALL THEY WOULD GET.

THE WOMEN'S BROTHERS SINGS:

WE HAVE A YOUNG SISTER, AND HER BREASTS ARE STILL SMALL. WHAT WILL WE DO FOR HER WHEN A YOUNG MAN COMES COURTING? IF SHE IS A WALL, WE WILL BUILD HER A SILVER TOWER. BUT IF SHE IS A GATE, WE WILL PROTECT HER WITH PANELS OF CEDAR.

THE WOMAN SINGS:

I AM A WALL, AND MY BREASTS ARE ITS TOWERS. MY LOVER KNOWS THAT WITH HIM I FIND CONTENTMENT AND PEACE.

THE MAN SINGS:

SOLOMON HAS A VINEYARD IN A PLACE CALLED BAAL HAMON. THERE ARE FARMERS WHO RENT IT FROM HIM; EACH ONE PAYS A THOUSAND SILVER COINS. SOLOMON IS WELCOME TO HIS THOUSAND COINS, AND THE FARMERS TO TWO HUNDRED AS THEIR SHARE; I HAVE A VINEYARD OF MY OWN! LET ME HEAR YOUR VOICE FROM THE GARDEN, MY LOVE; MY COMPANIONS ARE WAITING TO HEAR YOU SPEAK.

THE WOMAN SINGS:

COME TO ME, MY LOVER, LIKE A GAZELLE, LIKE A YOUNG STAG ON THE MOUNTAINS WHERE SPICES GROW.

(2) Psalms of the Israelites:

God exists and is everywhere (whether water, land, sky etc). Anyone who sings or recites this song praises God with his/her heart and soul. He or she acknowledges that God created Heaven and earth and also beautified them with all we have and see in our surroundings. God Almighty controls nature and how all the contents of Heaven and earth, including we human beings, behave/survive always. All that God has ever made depends on him for food, the air they breathe, etc. He gives new life to those alive in this world and also, gives new life in form of new born babies. Anyone who sings or recites this hymn rededicates his/her life to God Almighty while promising to sing His praises until his/her last breath and also, prays that all the sinners in this world must be destroyed and all the wicked must die just as the Israelites sang in the days of old. Praise God!!!

NOTE THAT:

(A) PART OF THIS PARTICULAR SONG/HYMN SAYS TO GOD: "YOU CREATED THE MOON TO MARK THE MONTHS; THE SUN KNOWS THE TIME TO SET."

(B) WE ARE ALL MADE FROM DUST AND UNTO DUST WE SHALL RETURN ONCE GOD TAKES OUR BREATH AWAY FROM US.

(C) BASED ON THIS HOLY BIBLE HYMN/SONG, GRASSES ARE EATEN BY CATTLE WHILE PLANTS ARE CONSUMED/EATEN BY HUMAN BEINGS. AFTER EATING PLANTS, HUMANS HAVE STRENGTH TO GROW CROPS AND PRODUCE:

(I) WINE TO MAKE THEM HAPPY

(II) OLIVE OIL TO MAKE THEM CHEERFUL

(III) BREAD TO GIVE THEM MORE STRENGTH.

(D) WHOEVER SINGS THIS SONG ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HIS OR HER GLADNESS COMES FROM GOD.

(E) THIS SONG SIMPLY APPRECIATES GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF AND ALL THAT HE CREATED.

According to Psalm 104: 1-35

PRAISE THE LORD, MY SOUL! O LORD, MY GOD, HOW GREAT YOU ARE! YOU ARE CLOTHED WITH MAJESTY AND GLORY; YOU COVER YOURSELF WITH LIGHT. YOU HAVE SPREAD OUT THE HEAVENS LIKE A TENT AND BUILT YOUR HOME ON THE WATERS ABOVE. YOU USE THE CLOUDS AS YOUR CHARIOT AND RIDE ON THE WINGS OF THE WIND. YOU USE THE WINDS AS YOUR MESSENGERS AND FLASHES OF LIGHTNING AS YOUR SERVANTS. YOU HAVE SET THE EARTH FIRMLY ON ITS FOUNDATIONS, AND IT WILL NEVER BE MOVED. YOU PLACED THE OCEAN OVER IT LIKE A ROBE, AND THE WATER COVERED THE MOUNTAINS. WHEN YOU REBUKED THE WATERS, THEY FLED; THEY RUSHED AWAY WHEN THEY HEARD YOUR SHOUT OF COMMAND. THEY FLOWED OVER THE MOUNTAINS AND INTO THE VALLEYS, TO THE PLACE YOU HAD MADE FOR THEM. YOU SET A BOUNDARY THEY CAN NEVER PASS, TO KEEP THEM FROM COVERING THE EARTH AGAIN. YOU MAKE SPRINGS FLOW IN THE VALLEYS, AND RIVERS RUN BETWEEN THE HILLS. THEY PROVIDE WATER FOR THE WILD ANIMALS; THERE THE WILD DONKEYS QUENCH THEIR THIRST. IN THE TREES NEAR BY, THE BIRDS MAKE THEIR NESTS AND SING. FROM THE SKY YOU SEND RAIN ON THE HILLS, AND THE EARTH IS FILLED WITH YOUR BLESSINGS. YOU MAKE GRASS GROW FOR THE CATTLE AND PLANTS FOR HUMAN BEINGS TO USE, SO THAT THEY CAN GROW THEIR CROPS AND PRODUCE WINE TO MAKE THEM HAPPY, OLIVE OIL TO MAKE THEM CHEERFUL, AND BREAD TO GIVE THEM STRENGTH. THE CEDARS OF LEBANON GET PLENTY OF RAIN - THE LORD'S OWN TREES, WHICH HE PLANTED. THERE THE BIRDS BUILD THEIR NESTS; THE STORKS NEST IN THE FIR TREES. THE WILD GOATS LIVE IN THE HIGH MOUNTAINS, AND THE ROCK- BADGERS HIDE IN THE CLIFFS. YOU CREATED THE MOON TO MARK THE MONTHS; THE SUN KNOWS THE TIME TO SET. YOU MADE THE NIGHT, AND IN THE DARKNESS ALL THE WILD ANIMALS COME OUT. THE YOUNG LIONS ROAR WHILE THEY HUNT, LOOKING FOR THE FOOD THAT GOD PROVIDES. WHEN THE SUN RISES, THEY GO BACK AND LIE DOWN IN THEIR DENS. THEN PEOPLE GO OUT TO DO THEIR WORK AND KEEP WORKING UNTIL EVENING. LORD, YOU HAVE MADE SO MANY THINGS! HOW WISELY YOU MADE THEM ALL! THE EARTH IS FILLED WITH YOUR CREATURES. THERE IS THE OCEAN, LARGE AND WIDE WHERE COUNTLESS CREATURES LIVE, LARGE AND SMALL ALIKE. THE SHIPS SAIL ON IT, AND IN IT PLAYS LEVIATHAN, THE SEA MONSTER WHICH YOU MADE. ALL OF THEM DEPEND ON YOU TO GIVE THEM FOOD WHEN THEY NEED IT. YOU GIVE IT TO THEM, AND THEY EAT IT; YOU PROVIDE FOOD, AND THEY ARE AFRAID WHEN YOU TAKE AWAY YOUR BREATH, THEY DIE AND GO BACK TO THE DUST FROM WHICH THEY CAME. BUT WHEN YOU GIVE THEM BREATH, THEY ARE CREATED; YOU GIVE NEW LIFE TO THE EARTH. MAY THE GLORY OF THE LORD LAST FOR EVER! MAY THE LORD BE HAPPY WITH WHAT HE HAS MADE! HE LOOKS AT THE EARTH, AND IT TREMBLES; HE TOUCHES THE MOUNTAINS, AND THEY POUR OUT SMOKE. I WILL SING TO THE LORD ALL MY LIFE; AS LONG AS I LIVE I WILL SING PRAISES TO MY GOD. MAY HE BE PLEASED WITH MY SONG, FOR MY GLADNESS COMES FROM HIM. MAY SINNERS BE DESTROYED FROM THE EARTH; MAY THE WICKED BE NO MORE. PRAISE THE LORD, MY SOUL! PRAISE THE LORD!

(3) Songs of the Israelites, Moses and Miriam:

This song mainly praises God Almighty as a Mighty Man in battle, a great warrior and a great defender mainly because God Almighty divided the red sea to allow the saved/rescued Israelites get to the other side of the sea and they all crossed to the other end safely but the Egyptians who were still pursuing them in order to kill and/or enslave them tried passing through the same path in between the red Sea and they met their deaths as God closed the path/way He made so, the water swallowed and drowned them(the then enemies of Israelites).

Relating to this Story and Song Remember that: "The Egyptians you see today, you shall see them no more."

NOTE THAT:

(A) IN THIS SONG, THE ISRAELITES AND MOSES CLAIMED THAT THEY HAD WEALTH EVEN WHILE BEING THE SLAVES OF THE EGYPTIANS.

(B) THE EGYPTIANS SIGNIFIES THOSE VERY WEALTHY PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT CONTENTED WITH WHAT THEY HAVE BUT STILL WANT TO SNATCH AND STILL THE WEALTH OR BELONGINGS OF SOMEONE THAT WORKS FOR THEM OR SOMEONE THAT IS FAR BENEATH THEM IN TERMS OF MATERIAL WEALTH.

According to Exodus 15: 1-21

MOSES AND THE ISRAELITES SANG:

THEN MOSES AND THE ISRAELITES SANG THIS SONG TO THE LORD:

I WILL SING TO THE LORD, BECAUSE HE HAS WON A GLORIOUS VICTORY; HE HAS THROWN THE HORSES AND THEIR RIDERS INTO THE SEA. THE LORD IS MY STRONG DEFENDER; HE IS THE ONE WHO HAS SAVED ME. HE IS MY GOD, AND I WILL PRAISE HIM, MY FATHER'S GOD, AND I WILL SING ABOUT HIS GREATNESS. THE LORD IS A WARRIOR; THE LORD IS HIS NAME. HE THREW EGYPT'S ARMY AND ITS CHARIOTS INTO THE SEA; THE BEST OF ITS OFFICERS WERE DROWNED IN THE RED SEA. THE DEEP SEA COVERED THEM; THEY SANK TO THE BOTTOM LIKE A STONE. YOUR RIGHT HAND, LORD, IS AWESOME IN POWER; IT BREAKS THE ENEMY IN PIECES. IN MAJESTIC TRIUMPH YOU OVERTHROW YOUR FOES; YOUR ANGER BLAZES OUT AND BURNS THEM UP LIKE STRAW. YOU BLEW ON THE SEA AND THE WATER PILED UP HIGH; IT STOOD UP STRAIGHT LIKE A WALL; THE DEEPEST PART OF THE SEA BECAME SOLID. THE ENEMY SAID, "I WILL PURSUE THEM AND CATCH THEM; I WILL DIVIDE THEIR WEALTH AND TAKE ALL I WANT; I WILL DRAW MY SWORD AND TAKE ALL THEY HAVE." BUT ONE BREATH FROM YOU, LORD, AND THE EGYPTIANS WERE DROWNED; THEY SANK LIKE LEAD IN THE TERRIBLE WATER. LORD, WHO AMONG THE GODS IS LIKE YOU? WHO IS LIKE YOU, WONDERFUL IN HOLINESS? WHO CAN WORK MIRACLES AND MIGHTY ACTS LIKE YOURS? YOU STRETCHED OUT YOUR RIGHT HAND, AND THE EARTH SWALLOWED OUR ENEMIES. FAITHFUL TO YOUR PROMISE, YOU LED THE PEOPLE YOU HAD RESCUED; BY YOUR STRENGTH YOU GUIDED THEM TO YOUR SACRED LAND. THE NATIONS HAVE HEARD, AND THEY TREMBLE WITH FEAR; THE PHILISTINES ARE SEIZED WITH TERROR. THE LEADERS OF EDOM ARE TERRIFIED; MOAB'S MIGHTY MEN ARE TREMBLING; THE PEOPLE OF CANAAN LOSE THEIR COURAGE. TERROR AND DREAD FALL UPON THEM. THEY SEE YOUR STRENGTH, O LORD, AND STAND HELPLESS WITH FEAR UNTIL YOUR PEOPLE HAVE MARCHED PAST - THE PEOPLE YOU SET FREE FROM SLAVERY. YOU BRING THEM IN AND PLANT THEM ON YOUR MOUNTAIN, THE PLACE THAT YOU, LORD, HAVE CHOSEN FOR YOUR HOME, THE TEMPLE THAT YOU YOURSELF HAVE BUILT. YOU, LORD, WILL BE KING FOR EVER AND EVER. THE ISRAELITES WALKED THROUGH THE SEA ON DRY GROUND. BUT WHEN THE EGYPTIAN CHARIOTS WITH THEIR HORSES AND DRIVERS WENT INTO THE SEA, THE LORD BROUGHT THE WATER BACK, AND IT COVERED THEM.

THE PROPHET MIRIAM, AARON'S SISTER, TOOK HER TAMBOURINE, AND ALL THE WOMEN FOLLOWED HER, PLAYING TAMBOURINES AND DANCING. MIRIAM SANG FOR THEM:

"SING TO THE LORD, BECAUSE HE HAS WON A GLORIOUS VICTORY; HE HAS THROWN THE HORSES AND THEIR RIDERS INTO THE SEA."

(4) Songs of the Three Young Men (They were Daniel's friends called Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah also known as Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego):

This song of praise was sang to God Almighty for saving them from the burning furnace they were thrown into. Even if those who actually threw them into the very hot burning furnace (because the King commanded them to do so) got burnt up, Hananiah (Shedrach), Mishael (Meshach) and Azariah (Abednego) remained unharmed because God protected them right inside the burning furnace. This song mainly lists many creatures/creations of God and asks all the creations which includes nature to help them give praise to God Almighty on their behalf for this great miraculous rescue from the depth of the furnace even as they were still inside it. They also called on everyone around the world, most especially, the people that belong to the Household of the Lord God (that is, all kinds of people that do the will of God) to sing God's praises and honour to Him all the days of their lives and forevermore. Death has no power over God's people/children unless He allows or assigns it to be so. GOD PROTECTS HIS PEOPLE FROM ALL DANGERS. GOD IS LOVE. PRAISE GOD!!!

According to Songs of Three Young Men 1: 23-68

"THE KING'S SERVANTS WHO HAD THROWN THE THREE MEN INTO THE FURNACE KEPT THE FIRE HOT BY FEEDING IT WITH OIL, TAR, FLAX, AND BRUSHWOOD. THE FLAMES BLAZED UP TO A HEIGHT OF MORE THAN TWENTY METRES AND EVEN SPREAD OUT AND BURNT UP THE BABYLONIANS STANDING NEAR THE FURNACE. BUT AN ANGEL OF THE LORD CAME DOWN INTO THE FIRE WHERE THE THREE MEN WERE. HE PUSHED ASIDE THE FLAMES SO THAT IT FELT AS IF A COOL BREEZE WERE BLOWING, AND THE FIRE DID NOT TOUCH THE MEN AT ALL OR HURT THEM IN ANY WAY."

THE SONG ITSELF 👇😍

THERE IN THE FURNACE THE THREE YOUNG MEN AGAIN STARTED SINGING TOGETHER IN PRAISE OF GOD:

WE PRAISE YOU, O LORD, THE GOD OF OUR ANCESTORS. MAY YOUR GLORIOUS, HOLY NAME BE HELD IN HONOUR AND REVERENCE FOREVER AND MAY YOUR HOLY PRESENCE BE PRAISED IN THAT TEMPLE, WHERE YOU SIT ON YOUR HEAVENLY THRONE ABOVE THE WINGED CREATURES AND LOOK DOWN TO THE WORLD OF THE DEAD. MAY YOU BE PRAISED AND HONOURED FOREVER. MAY YOU BE PRAISED AS YOU SIT ON YOUR ROYAL THRONE. MAY HYMNS BE SUNG TO YOUR GLORY FOREVER. MAY YOU BE PRAISED IN THE DOME OF THE HEAVENS. MAY HYMNS BE SUNG TO YOUR GLORY FOREVER.

PRAISE THE LORD, ALL CREATION;
