Scripture as songs of poetry

Q13: Scripture Secrets : Poetry Songs.

Scripture used to be full of songs in Hebrew.

The Koran is written in an Arab like language as poetry and songs, making it easy to memorize.

This technique was borrowed from Hebrew. We need to make our Scriptures into songs and poetry puns, so we can have more fun reading Scripture.

We have to memorize Scripture WORDS, so putting them as songs is much easier for our fallen minds.

Hard to memorize lines like this, unless we arrange the lines into patterns of poetry style.

This can be done in a variety of ways, using couplets beginning with alphabet letters, A, B, C , D etc.

By adding rthymn in the flow of sound.

By adding rthyme in the flow of sound.

Psalms is a good example of this idea, originally all the Psalms were prayers of David.

Consider one prayer written as a song by the Author, the 23rd psalm, or prayer of David.

Prayer 23 of David:

  • 1 The LORD is my shepherd;
  • I shall not want.
  • 2 He maketh me to lie down
  • in green pastures:
  • he leadeth me beside the still waters.
  • 3 He restoreth my soul:
  • he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
  • for his name's sake.
  • 4 Yea, though I walk through
  • the valley of the shadow of death,
  • I will fear no evil:
  • for thou art with me;
  • thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
  • 5 Thou preparest a table before me
  • in the presence of mine enemies:
  • thou anointest my head with oil;
  • my cup runneth over.
  • 6 Surely goodness and mercy
  • shall follow me
  • all the days of my life:
  • and I will dwell in the house
  • of the LORD for ever. (KJV)

    Here is a song version of the 23rd Psalm, that follows the Ancient Hebrew meanings very closely, but it is rearranged as English, to memorize "specific seeds" as "prayer promises" into a song.

  • My Saviour feeds me, day by day;
  • He lays me down, in His green way;
  • He leads me to the Spirit's side,
  • Where I drink of Him inside.

  • He turns my soul, and guides my way;
  • In well worn paths, I do not stray,
  • He straightens me, I hold His Hand,
  • Tenderly we walk God's Land.

  • Yea I walk, through a steep valley,
  • Shadows of death, flow all round me,
  • I have no fear, no evil see,
  • Your branch and staff comfort me.

  • A table set, facing His pressers;
  • My fattened head, with oil dressers,
  • My cup is soaked, with Your presence,
  • Our running flows, in righteousness.

  • His goodness shows, mercy in flow,
  • Our living days, with Him will glow,
  • I will sit down, in the house of the Lord,
  • Eternal days, praising GOD.
  • The Author wishs to write many more "Scripture Songs", so "sowing specific seed solutions" as "prayer promises" will be easier to memorize and learn. The Author finds it difficult to memorize all the Scripture seeds as prayer promises so one can support Jesus moment by moment.

    God bless your spiritual journey with Jesus. Shalom
