“Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth,

where moth and rust consume,

and where thieves break through and steal;

 

but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,

where neither moth nor rust consume,

and where thieves don’t break through and steal;

 

for where your treasure is,

there your heart will be also.”

​

Matthew 6:19-21, WEB

I hope to set the World English Bible to music.

 

Why? To live out Colossians 3:16 (WEB): 

 

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly;

in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs,

singing with grace in your heart to God.” 

 

I also want to create beautiful tools for my children and for fellow believers. 

 

To that end, and in keeping with the spirit of the World English Bible, I will be releasing this musical Bible to the public domain. That means, with no requirement for permission or payment, you can:

 

  • Create, record, share, and sell your own covers 

  • Perform or play the settings in a church service

  • Teach the music to your choir or vocal ensemble

  • Sample a section for a hip-hop hook

  • Upload or include the music in your own YouTube channel, radio station, or podcast

  • Print and sell the sheet music 

​

However you choose to use the music, please credit "World English Bible" wherever you use its text. For more about usage of the WEB, read here.

​

A fuller story behind the “Storehouse Bible” and the reason for the WEB as my source text are forthcoming.
