Songs And Artists With Books Of The Bible In Their Names, Vol. 3

Part three of a three-part miniseries, this final post features songs and artists with books of the Bible in their names. The first post covered Genesis through Song of Solomon, and the second post covered Isaiah through Acts. So we'll pick up this time with the book of Romans and go straight on through to the book of Revelation. As previously noted, it's pretty difficult to track down a song or artist for all 66 books in the Bible. But I've given it my best effort, and these are what I came up with. Again, not all the songs/artists in this collection are specifically Christian groups. In fact, it's likely that there's more of them that are not than are. But I found what I could find, and that's all I can do. Enjoy!  ~  JH

Songs With Directions In The Title, Vol. 1: "Up" Songs

Okay, so since I'm obviously obsessed with doing music posts lately, why don't I just start a whole series of them? (This is where you say, "Hey, what a great idea!" Or don't. Whatever.) This is part one of what will be a five-part miniseries. The unifying theme is that each song contains a direction within the title, whether that be up, down, left, right, or all directions. First up – appropriately – songs with "Up" in the title. I've been compiling the songs for these posts for a while now, and I hope you'll enjoy seeing/hearing them.  ~  JH
