The fourth dimension of singing

I think the three-fold understanding of singing is fantastic. Have you heard it? It is based on Colossians 3:16.

1. Let word of Christ dwells in us richly as we sing (downward)
2. We sing to each other to encourage each other (sideways)
3. We make music in our hearts to God (upwards)

Every time we sing in church - all are involved. This has been represented in a triangle. (I'd love to find an electronic copy).

As I was kayaking (at 7am this morning), I thought of a fourth dimension that I should keep in the front of my mind.

4. We also sing in the presence of God's enemies. This is one of God's ordained ways to silence the the evil one and the world who will not accept Christ. For me this is a huge motivation to praise God. We shut the devil's mouth.

From the lips of children and infants
you have ordained praise
because of your enemies,
to silence the foe and the avenger. (Psalm 8:2)
