Through such singing we participate in Christ’s ongoing defeat of the powers and principalities. It may seem foolish and inconsequential, perhaps as effective as blowing trumpets while marching around the walls of an enemy city (Josh. 6), but the battle cry is the outpouring of a people of love who live and thrive in the kingdom of love. Our song is a hopeful longing to the day when every tear will be wiped away, and when we will be participants in the wedding feast of the Lamb.
