Wedding Song Kits
The songs 1 Corinthians 13, 1
Corinthians 13:4-8a and
Psalm 23 can be performed at weddings by purchasing wedding song kits. A wedding song kit consists of sheet music and a 2 track CD with vocal and karaoke (background) versions of the song. The sheet music and recorded music are in the same musical key. This enables a performer(s) to sing either to their own musical accompaniment or a studio recorded backing CD. Wedding song kits can be purchased from the Bible in Song Store with permission for performance at weddings without commercial intent. 1 Corinthians 13 (Short & Long Versions)Two versions of the song 1 Corinthians 13 were recorded for the CD Faith, Hope and Charity.
Psalm 23The Lord's my Shepherd', based on Psalm 23 is a popular hymn for weddings. An even better selection may be Psalm 23, the most popular song purchased on this website. This song plays for 3 minutes 44 seconds, an ideal length for wedding music. For more audio clips of Psalm 23 visit Bible Promises in Song.Song of Solomon Song of Solomon is a low budget CD album.

The CD album Faith, Hope and Charity includes the songs 1 Corinthians 13 (New Testament psalm of love) - both short and long versions, Hebrews 11 (faith chapter), and Romans
8 (themes on hope and source of many Bible promises). A Great Chapter of the BibleFor many people, I Corinthians 13 is not only one of the Great Chapters of the Bible, it is, by far, the greatest chapter of the Bible. Because of its beautiful lyrical phrases in praise of love, it is frequently read, in whole or in part, at Christian weddings worldwide. But it's not merely the beautiful language that escalates this chapter to its lofty position; it's the subject matter it treats.
What Kind of love is Paul speaking of?The love that Paul commends here is a particular kind of love. It isn't the kind of love that we would recognize from the ways in which the word is commonly used, in popular songs and on greeting cards. This is not romantic love we're talking about here, or even brotherly-sisterly love, but agape love, the kind of love God exhibits. The love that Paul commends here is not an emotion, but a form of life that is characterized by self-giving, that is, a Christ-shaped life. This explains the otherwise strange fact that Paul can go on at length about the gift of love and never once speak of it as an emotion. Instead, here love is described as a way of being and acting. And that way of acting is not soft, sentimental or in any way mushy. Rather, the love that Paul praises is strong enough and resilient enough that it does not need to assert itself, but rather is free to give of itself.6Lyrics to 1 Corinthians 131 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.7 Lyrics to Psalm 231 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. 1.
