Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
All Commentaries on Ephesians 5:19 Go To Ephesians 5
John Chrysostom
AD 407
“Making melody to the Lord” means paying attention while you are singing. It means not letting your mind drift. Those who in singing do not offer this deep attention to God are merely mouthing psalms, uttering words, while their hearts are preoccupied elsewhere. .
