"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." Colossians 3:16
"Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;" Ephesians 5:19
"Science" confirms Divine Wisdom:
Separate parts of the brain process the music and words, creating more neural pathways to access the memory. *
Research has shown that there is a "musical memory area" located in the center of the brain.
Scans have shown that this "musical memory area" remains healthy up to the end of life, even when the other portions of the brain have deteriorated. **
"Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee." Psalm 119:11
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he shall not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

So, I urge you to take advantage of the thousands of options you have out there to listen to the songs that people have recorded setting Bible verses to music in all kinds of versions and styles. They will all benefit you!
But, since you are here, I’d like to share my own personal contribution to the effort to build up the Body of Christ with the gifts I have been entrusted with!
The King James Version has been my text of choice because that is what I grew up with, and also, from a pragmatic point of view, it is “public domain” and therefore I do not have to deal with copyright issues!
Furthermore, KJV has been the "cultural standard" for generations, and I wish to promote its preservation for those to come.
Hello, my name is Karen Silvernail, & I have been setting KJV scriptures to music since 1987.
I have been posting lyric videos of them on Youtube and Facebook since 2017 on my channel & page called “Sing the Sword of the Spirit – Bible Songs by Karen Silvernail”.
I have also uploaded the corresponding piano sheet music on Facebook.
(You can find the story of my journey posted there as well.)
For the convenience of users, I am excited to offer a “Volume 1” collection of sheet music: the complete text of KJV Proverbs 1-15, with links to the online versions.
I am in process of making devotionals and audio files available and will add the links to the landing pages as I go along!
And please continue to visit my Youtube Channel and Facebook Page: "Sing the Sword of the Spirit - Bible Songs by Karen Silvernail"
I welcome requests for verses to post as songs
Remember that Truth is the only weapon that can destroy lies!
I urge you to take advantage of the opportunity to easily memorize God's Truth by singing it and having it ready to bring to mind when you must face spiritual battles!
I have learned from watching my family play video games that, over time, the hero has the opportunity to learn new "SWORD ATTACKS" to successfully fight against particular enemies.
I like to compare that "in real life" to learning more and more biblical truths to counter our spiritual enemy's suggestion to take actions which would harm us. Declare the truth and be victorious!
"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword ofthe Spirit, which is the word of God." Ephesians 6:17
"For the word of God is quick [living] and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death." Revelation 12:11
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." John 14:26
(Something to think about - you have to have made an effort to learn in order to have something later "brought to remembrance"! )
