Hi All,
I was listening earlier to Keith Green's rendition of Psalm 23. It occurred to me that it is one of my favourite songs which is basically Scripture set to music. I like the way he put the song together musically, lyrically, and scripturally...

Okay, that's a mouthful. I like the music itself, separate from the words. It is joyful and tense, darkness and dawn, all just with notes. I like how he took the words of Scripture and, without changing or rearranging them too much, set them to music such that they flow with the music; the words go along well with the notes and chords underneath them. I also like that he didn't twist the meaning of the Scripture to make his song, as songwriters are somewhat prone to do, or force-fit parts of the passage.

So, with those parameters in mind, what are some of your favourite songs which are basically Scripture set to music?

Please note that I am not asking what "your favourite piece of Scripture" is, which happens to be set to music... that's a different question! :)

Hi Dino,

I really learned so much through Keith Green. What a man of God he was!

I love Fernando Ortega. Here's one based off of Lamentations 3:21-23.

Isaiah 49:1-2

Listen, o coastlands, to me,
and take heed you peoples from afar!
The Lord has called me from the womb;
from the matrix of my mother
He has made mention of my name.
And He has made my mouth like a sharp sword;
in the shadow of His hand He has hidden me,
and made me a polished shaft;
in His quiver He has hidden me.​

There are other Scripture songs i have been listening to, but this one in filipino based on

[FONT=Arimo, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1 Thess. 4 16[/FONT]
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

is on my mind now.

Can't say which is my favorite, but there are Scripture songs to listen to, esp when taking breaks during the day, and night too.

based on Isa. 52.7.
