Music was created by God and intended as a way for people to praise and communicate with Him, as seen throughout the Bible. The Old Testament recounts songs of praise after the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt. The New Testament references leaders of song and music in the days of David and Asaph. The book of Psalms is entirely devoted to songs of worship. Authors note that music allows people to express emotions and offer gifts to God, and that having the ability to make music is an incredible privilege from God.
