Mission Statement

Worship the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness!
(1 Chronicles 16:29 and Psalm 29:2 KJV).

Livingwordsongs.com was created to enable Christian songwriters and composers to share their music with others.  We hope that our music will enrich your personal devotions, small group meetings and/or corporate worship.

We publish songs from songwriters and composers that subscribe to our statement of faith.  We look for songs that are well written and properly recorded.  We do not consider marketability or potential market size in our decision to publish songs and compositions.

Since God’s creation is diverse, we believe that we can worship God in a variety of musical styles and forms.  For this reason, we aim to include music from a variety of styles and cultures.  We hope that those who use our site will be encouraged to explore musical styles outside of their comfort zone, so as to enrich their personal worship and devotional experience and to broaden the worship life of their church.

Statement of faith:

The following statements, based on the Bible and given historic expression in the Westminster Confession of Faith, are a summary of what we believe.

Holy Scripture, the Word of God written, is to be believed and obeyed. We are assured of its infallible truth and divine authority as the Holy Spirit works in our hearts. The one true and living God, infinite in being and perfection, has revealed Himself in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He made male and female in His image, but fellowship with God was broken and paradise lost through disobedience.

Our nature now is sinful, and our transgressions deserve God's judgment. But God in His grace offers us new life and forgiveness. This is the gospel, that the Father has sent the Son to pay the penalty for the sins of His people and grant them the power of His resurrection.
God pardons our sins and accepts us into His family as we trust in Jesus Christ alone for our salvation and sincerely repent. That faith must show its reality in works of love, and real repentance requires a firm resolve to walk in the way of God's commandments. Grateful for His grace, we live for His glory.

The Ten Commandments reveal the moral law and will of God. He alone is Lord of the conscience, and has set us free from the doctrines and demands of men which are contrary to His Word. Our Lord is building His Church in the world. We exist to worship God, learn the Scriptures, encourage one another in the Christian life, and spread the gospel by word and deed. God has appointed a day in which He will judge the world justly by Jesus Christ. We must all appear before Him, to give an account of our attitude and actions, as well as receive from Him retribution or reward. That inevitable encounter is not a stimulus to speculation, but an incentive to repentance and obedience.

This statement of faith was prepared by the late Dr. Mariano DiGangi for Knox Presbyterian Church in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
