Hidden In My Heart
Bible Verse Music Ministry
Music prayerfully composed by Alan Witmer & Joseph Figley

    Our Mission:
  • Promote scripture memory and understanding
  • Regularly presenting Bible passages in music
  • We will prayerfully search the scriptures
  • Keep passages and quotations in their correct context
  • We seek the wise counsel of fellow-believers, while trusting God as the ultimate source of wisdom for the ministry
  • God commands us to hide his word in our hearts. Deuteronomy 6:6-9
    shows the lifelong attentiveness we are to give to his laws:
    "These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates."

    (Deuteronomy 6:6-9)

    This verse clearly calls for deep study and regular memorization of his word, and also for discussing it, repeating it - even singing it - regularly. It should come as no surprise that we are to weigh it so heavily; when we fondly hide it in our hearts, we are less likely to be deceived by false teaching, or to sin from ignorance:
  • "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you"

    (Psalm 119:11)

  • God's word is complete and practical: We know that
    "[a]ll scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

    (II Timothy 3:16)

    Scripture is complete - it is sufficient for any situation.It is the measuring stick that we should apply to any teaching we encounter (see Acts 17:11). But with its study comes the responsibility to handle it with deep respect,
  • "[d]o your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth."

    (II Timothy 2:15)

  • God's word is true: Finally, and most important, God's word is fully true,and thus the only completely authorized source for wisdom. Philippians 4:8 commands,

    "whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things."

    (Philippians 4:8)

    And God's word uniquely is qualified, "[a]ll your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal." God's word: true and eternal - trustworthy and unchanging.
  • We have watched with joy as God has supplied and blessed this ministry and blessed it. It is not of our making - often the very best of the songs seem to materialize "out of thin air." It is our vision and goal to simply provide God's word through music, as often and to as wide an audience as He provides.
