14. “Be Still My Soul (In You I Rest)” by Kari Jobe

15. “I Will Wait for You (Psalm 130)” by Shane & Shane
This modern arrangement sets the words of Psalm 130 to music. It’s a song of confession, hope, and redemption, grounded in the mercy of the Lord.
Worship songs based on Scripture do more than provide a soundtrack for Sunday services—they plant God’s Word deep in the heart. When believers sing the Bible, they are more likely to carry its truths throughout their day, lean on its promises in difficult times, and recall its words when they need guidance.
These songs help worshipers not only declare truth but also absorb it. Whether you’re building a personal worship playlist or planning a service, these songs serve as powerful reminders that the Word of God is living, active, and always worthy of being sung.
