Texts are taken word for word from the Biblical passage, though a phrase is sometimes repeated for emphasis, often at the end of a song. Translations used include English Standard Version, New International Version, and Living New Translation.

The Bible quotes various song texts which are lengthy, including the songs

of Moses and Deborah, the Magnificat, various psalms, etc. While western

popular song forms tend to use short quotations of Scripture, chant allows

for the use of long texts, with the music playing a very secondary role. Some

of our songs utilize chant like passages, as well as other approaches for

longer texts.

Many people have "windows" of music in their day. Try filling those first

with spiritual content and praise as per Colossians 3:16. Do this on a regular basis and you will experience a new depth and power in your life.
