I am having a hard time finding a biblical text to put with a melody and rhythm of a song. I feel like it is such a controversial topic. I feel wrong when I put biblical text to a song melody that is not a religious song. It feels wrong and like it does not belong. It is also hard for me to put Biblical text in a song because I read the bible as if someone is talking to me, and if it is a song I read it as lyrics. I also put God’s word above everything else so it seems like I am messing around with the biblical text when I put it to a song melody. I have been focusing on changing the way that I think about it, but it has been difficult for me to find a good fit for the right biblical text and song melody. I also have came to the realization that there is a lot of examples of biblical text set to music. Therefore, I should feel more comfortable with completing this project. If there is any suggestions on how I should go about this to help me complete the project please let me know.

Thanks for sharing this. I’m glad that you have found examples of this that reassure you that what you are doing is neither unusual nor inappropriate! Why not think of it as creating something for a religious purpose if that is what makes sense to you? There’s nothing prohibiting you from thinking about your creation as something that might be used in a church setting, for instance. Does that help at all? Let me know!
