This is tangential to Pastor Brad's question, but do you have favorite songs that are inspired by Bible verses? I really like this technique because in theory many Bible verses were originally probably lyrics to hymns (especially Psalms), but the traditional melodies have been lost over the centuries. For me setting Biblical verses to music revitalizes them in a way, at least for me. Makes them more contemporary. My favorites are from Veni Domine "Ecclesiastes", and especially "The Rider on the White Horse" which treats Revelations 19:11-16. There are many, many others.

Creeping Death by Metallica is straight out of the Bible.

You beat me to it!!!! GREAT bible inspired song!!! Or how about The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden - it does have a reading of the book of revelations as an intro to the song!

Or, faith, hope, love by King's X

The four horseman by Metallica

Psalm 9 by Trouble

TONS for songs by Christian artists - but for the heck of it, why not try to list as many bible inspired songs by arists who aren't part of the christian genre.

Megadeth's Shadow of Deth is just Psalm 23, and it's a pretty good song.

I can think of two early 70's bands that also used Revelations and/or Daniel. Human Beast (two songs) and White Witch ("Auntie Christy"...anti-christi, get it?) Smile

Maybe not Bible inspired,but the first verse of Iron Maiden's Revelations is the 1st verse to the hymn O God of Earth and Altar.

Megadeth-Blessed Are The Dead (from Revelations regarding the Four Horsemen)
Ultimtum-Into The Pit (Rev. 20:1-3)
Tourniquet-Besprinkled In Scarlet Horror (John 7:24)
Tourniquet-Drinking From The Poisoned Well (Proverbs 29:11)
Tourniquet-Microscopic View Of A Telescopic Realm (Matthew 16:26)
Tourniquet-Eratic Palpatations Of The Human Spirit (Proverbs 16:18]
Tourniquet-Indulgence By Proxy (James 1:14)

Many other Tourniquet songs are full of lyrics based off of multiple verses (for instance in lyrics for The Test For Leprosy, there are 6 different verses referenced).

Many more Christian band's songs are inspired by the Bible but they don't give you a reference.

The entire Legend series from Saviour Machine is based off of Daniel, Revelations, and other prophetic verses in the Bible.

Cool topic. I don;t know if I have a favorite one, but I'd say "Ancient Prophecy" by Mortification off of Scrolls is up there. Also, Paramaecium's "The Unnatural Conception" from the first album is epic.

That's the first one that comes to my mind. I don't know much about the bible, but even this heathen recognized those referenses.

Yea, I'm gonna have to be a bandwagon jumper here and say "Creeping Death" as well.

Though Deliverance's "Weapons of our Warfare" is up there for me too.
