While many of our songs have a Bible verse right in the song title, others don’t because they draw from multiple verses. “The Word in the words” is an ongoing project to help you see the Scriptures behind every line of our modern hymns and worship songs. (Listening to a song and reading through the verses could also serve as a devotional or Bible study!)
