What are the characteristics of spirit-filled songs?

Spirit-filled songs share several key characteristics. Firstly, they are meant to exalt God rather than uplift man. They must express equal truth for all believers, regardless of background or experience, as articulated in Exodus 15, where all of God’s people sung the same praises. Secondly, these songs are directed solely unto the Lord; if the motive is to impress others or entertain, then they are not spirit-filled. Lastly, spirit-filled songs should dive deep into the truths of God’s Word, magnifying His attributes and works, thus leading us to deeper worship and adoration of Him.
