VERSES OF THE SANCTUARY: Poetry and Songs

Sanctuary Poems

---

Rejoice in the sound! There are many Bible verses about music found in the Scriptures. These quotes provide a lot of insight into just how important music has always been in the worship of God for all people, Jews and Christians alike.

We also can learn a lot about the various types of instruments that were used from Old Testament times to the era of the apostles. In addition, many of the psalms are songs that have been used to praise God. We have searched through the Bible to find 20 of the most significant quotes about music that can be used for study or for part of a sermon. These Scriptures show us that music was a common part of worship of false gods as well as that of the true God.

In these Bible verses about music we learn that the attitude of a Christian should be one of thanks and appreciation to God for all that he has done. In the interim between albums he also put on a highly successful art show of his child-like, sinister illustrations.

The latest phase in Henson's career could broadly be described as a disassociation of sensibility then, as he has released an album of instrumental music with the cellist Ren Ford called Romantic Works and a collection of poems titled Idiot Verse with Eyewear Press. When a singer-songwriter separates their musical output and lyrical output, it is hard not to question whether the two strands are strong enough to stand alone. In the case of Romantic Works , the results are genuinely impressive. The added orchestration of the cello creates a highly effective new dimension to his work and the prominence of piano-accompaniment over the previously favoured guitar-arrangement makes for a richer, more ambient timbre.

It is also interesting to see Henson release an entire album as a collaborative project, given that most of his output and persona seems to draw on the ideas of solipsism and reclusion.

Idiot Verse then, is the most risky departure from Henson's roots to date; the mis-guided attempts of songwriters and actors to transition into the world of poetry is an all too familiar sight, and one which is often met with sneering derision from the literary world. Henson is clearly aware of this risk as his eponymous opening poem reads like a creative disclaimer:.

Henson introduces a few key principles for reading Idiot Verse in this poem; firstly, this is going to be an irreverent collection which refuses point-blank to engage with any philosophical posturing and, secondly, this is an unashamedly metrical, lyrical collection of poems.
