\"\"<\/a>Paul in his letter to the Colossians instructs the believers to \u201cLet the Word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.\u201d (Col. 3:13)\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

One of our Tigak Bible teachers out here named Paska has written many of the Tigak worship songs we sing together when we meet on Sundays. There are so many that we actually have a Tigak song book! We thought we\u2019d share with you how one of the believers is understanding the Word through songs he has written, loosely translated from Tigak to English. Paska\u2019s Tigak hymns have been an encouragement to us. \u00a0We hope you enjoy!<\/p>\n
