What is Ephesians 5:19-20 really all about?

"speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Churches of Christ have used this as the basis for acappella worship. Is that a fair reading of the text? Does this take into account context or is it just one more prooftext to prop up a pre-concluded idea?

Watch and find out.
