Having the word of God in our hearts helps enable spiritual and truthful worship. It is also important to consider the Biblical
implications of what we are singing/playing. e-Sword is a free Bible reference program, and can be downloaded by clicking on the image above and visiting

For those who do not have their own computer or want a translation unavailable on e-Sword,
Bible Gateway is an easy-to-use online Bible reference site with every translation from the Old King James to The Message.
