6 Worship Songs About The Word of God (Standing On Truth)

We live in a culture of shifting truths and subjective opinions. In such a time, the church has the responsibility to sing songs that are anchored in the objective, unchanging Word of God. Isaiah 40:8 declares, “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.”

When we sing about the Word, we aren’t just celebrating a book; we are celebrating the promises of God that anchor our lives. These songs help your congregation memorize Scripture, fight the lies of the enemy, and build their lives on the only foundation that will last.

Why These Songs Strengthen The Church

We selected these songs because:

  • They are foundational. They remind us that our faith is built on what God has said, not on how we feel.
  • They are combative. The Word is the “sword of the Spirit.” Singing these lyrics helps people fight spiritual battles.
  • They are reassuring. In a chaotic world, the certainty of God’s written promises brings deep peace.

6 Songs Built On The Scripture

  1. Take You At Your Word – This song is a joyful anthem of simple obedience. It captures the childlike faith of simply believing God will do what He said He would do. “If You said it, I believe it.”
  2. Firm Foundation (He Won’t) – Based on the parable of the wise and foolish builders in Matthew 7, this song warns us that the rain and wind will come. It is a powerful declaration that building on the Word of God prevents collapse.
  3. Way Maker – One of the key titles in this song is “Promise Keeper.” It reminds the church that God’s nature is bound to His Word. He cannot lie, and He cannot fail to keep a promise.
  4. Good Plans – This song takes the famous promise of Jeremiah 29:11 and turns it into a catchy, accessible worship tune. It helps people memorize the truth that God’s thoughts toward them are for a future and a hope.
  5. Cornerstone – “My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.” This modernized hymn declares that Christ—the Word made flesh—is the only solid ground when “all other ground is sinking sand.”
  6. Trust In God – “I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered.” By weaving in the lyrics of “Blessed Assurance,” this song reinforces the reliability of God’s character as revealed in His Word.

How To Use These Songs In Your Church

  • Read the text. Before singing Firm Foundation, read Matthew 7:24-27. It gives weight to the lyrics when people realize they are singing Jesus’ actual words.
  • Use them for transitions. These songs bridge the gap perfectly between the worship set and the sermon, preparing hearts to receive the preached Word.
  • Challenge the room. Ask your congregation, “Whose report will you believe?” before launching into Take You At Your Word. It confronts unbelief immediately.

Next Steps

Identify a song in your repertoire that is purely subjective or feeling-based. Consider balancing it next Sunday with Take You At Your Word to ensure your setlist is anchored in the objective truth of Scripture.
