Music and the Bible

Of course, in the Bible, the Book of Psalms is made up of songs of worship to God.  But, as a musician, I am fascinated with musical worship and wondered what other references to music is found in the scriptures.

I found this site that links to all of the musical references:

One of my favorite things to do is to take scripture and turn it into a song.  One such scripture I turned into a song years ago was not found in Psalms, but in Deuteronomy.

It goes like this:

The Lord Himself goes before you
And, He will be with you.

The Lord Himself goes before you
And, He will be with you.

He will never leave you, nor forsake you.

So, do not be discouraged

For the Lord Himself goes before

The Lord Himself goes before you...
