The Bible and Music

I finally found a song that I jumped right into the lyrics and had a connection to the Bible right away. It was not intentional because I was just laying in my bed listening to music. I knew I wanted a song that was in a genre that I admired and from an artist that had my respect. I chose “Blessings” by Chance the Rapper because it already had a biblical foundation, even though I plan to alter nearly all the words in the lyrics. The Bible story that I picked is from Psalm 107 and the central message is thankfulness after being in the darkness, which is one of the messages in Chance the Rapper’s song. I have already began modifying the lyrics and looking at the sheet music to find the most ideal beat and where the emphasis should go on the words. Hopefully I can keep rolling with it!
