I love reggae music. One group I really like is Steel Pulse. One of my favorite songs of their's is Chant a Psalm.
An interesting concept presented in the song is that chanting keeps the devil away.
Get behind me Satan
I got chant
The last verse tells us about all of the heroes of the old testament who chanted psalms.
Moses he did chant chant
Samson he did chant chant
Elijah he did chant chant
I want the whole a we fe chant chant
Solomon he did chant chant
His father King David chant chant
John the Baptist chant chant
I want the whole a we fe chant chant.
Chanting is not something any church that I have attended has done, but it is a beautiful thing.
Many of the songs we sing in church are based on the psalms. I think it is amazing that for thousands of years, Jews and Christians have been singing and reciting the same words to express our praise to our God.
Maybe we should give chanting a try sometime. It just might keep the devil away.
