Malachi 1:6-8 KJV
[6] A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the Lord of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? [7] Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the Lord is contemptible. [8] And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the Lord of hosts.
Malachi 1:13-14 KJV
[13] Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it ! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the Lord of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the Lord . [14] But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.
Our offering of praise to our great God, our great King must be a pure offering, a song of His Word given and ministered by the Holy Spirit by people walking in His righteousness, walking in faith working by love, loving Him, walking in His Word.
Jesus said in John 4 to the woman at the well, God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth; the Word of God with the Holy Spirit. The song must be of the Word, given and ministered by the Spirit. He said the Father is seeking such to worship Him .
In 1John the Apostle John says, Truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son
1 John 1:1-7 KJV
[1] That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; [2] (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it , and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) [3] That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. [4] And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. [5] This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. [6] If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: [7] But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
When we come to God with a pure offering of true praise by the Word of God and the Holy Ghost, He will inhabit our praise and we will have fellowship through the Spirit with the Father and with His Son, and if we are walking in the light ( the truth) with one another.
If we have sin we can go to the Father in Jesus name and repent and confess our sin and He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Then we can walk on in the light and have true worship and true fellowship.
If we are embracing false doctrine and singing songs in the flesh it will not work. God will not confirm that. It is a polluted offering.
