It is possible that the behavior and activities of individual Christians reflect those values most strongly and frequently expressed in Christian liturgy and worship, which may be more limited than what is present in Scripture or the wider tradition. The result is that Christians can have mixed attitudes toward animals, and comparatively few Christians actively work toward improving animal welfare. In addition, three new worship songs for Sunday services at the Whizdom fellowship were composed: (1) “Breath of Praise” (2) “Let me Touch” (3) “One Name”.Both the Scriptures and the traditions of the Christian faith can be seen to promote animal welfare and, paradoxically, also to promote the idea of nonhuman animals existing only for human use. In terms of the lyric composition, it was found that there were five methods: (1) composing from self-experience (2) drawing from the Bible (3) writing in rhetoric (4) repeating stanzas and (5) employing metaphors. Additionally, the worship songs play three roles in the church: (1) Communication with god (2) communication with yourself and (3) communication among members of the church. In terms of musical composition, the results show that the composers tended to focus on the movement of melodies in the songs, which usually moves in conjunct intervals consisting of Unision, Major 2 nd and minor 2 nd, and the application of melodic sequences on the major, minor and pentatonic scales. The results of the research show that the Pentecostal Christian traditions played two roles in the church: (1) the role of the soul and (2) the role of the symbol. This research article studies the composition of Pentecostal Christian worship songs, using a qualitative research methodology with the following purposes: (1) to study the context of Pentecostal cultures and principles in terms of composing worship songs and (2) to create and publish new Pentecostal Christian worship songs.
