It's been awhile and I kind of forgot that I owned this blog. But I wanted to share a unique transformation that I've gone through from "Examining God's Word" to music writing with God's Word! I've been a worship leader in the church for almost a decade and have always loved the worship songs; how many of them use God's Word in lyrical format (by the way, songs are how most of the Psalms were written). As we sing in church, we are essentially memorizing God's Word. Check out "By His Wounds" (Isa. 53:5) and "Jesus Messiah" (2 For. 5:21) for great examples of this.
Love this version of "By His Wounds."
As I've ventured to write my own lyrics from studying His Word, I was inspired by my local church's way of presenting baptisms, so I studied what the Bible had to say about Baptism in order to write a song. The result is below. I hope you enjoy this song titled, "Baptize Me," which has been in the making for over a year. In the video's explanation on YouTube, you can read the many Scripture references I studied that went into the making of this song...some of which come from Romans 6 in this revitalized blog series! God knows.
It was such a rewarding experience to sing God's Word, that I'm pursuing this more as a career in music while leading God's people in worship each week.
