At the United Bible Societies we love the Bible. We are working towards the day when everyone can access the Bible in the language and medium of their choice. With “Your Word,” Scripture is shared through music in many languages.
It all started with a Facebook message this summer from Billy Dorsey, a multi-award winning musician from USA. We connected immediately, sharing the same passion for the Bible. We shared Billy’s story, how he grew from being homeless to a success in a music industry.
Following that article, Billy wrote “Your Word,” a Scripture-based worship song. But it’s more than a worship song. Thanks to musicians and Bible Societies partnering together, net revenues from the online release on iTunes will be dedicated to Bible translation. “Your Word” will help people to receive the Word of God in their languages [through] crowd funding.
The song will be released at the end of November, but already today you’re invited behind the scenes at the recording of the song in the first six languages.
