I'm trying to make a point to someone I've met recently and I need
some help. I know that there are several reggae songs that are based
on Bible verses but (blush) my knowledge of the Bible is pretty
sketchy. If you know of songs that have quotations of Bible verses in
them, could you post the song and the Biblical reference? I'll
compile the results and post them (and forward a copy to Mike Pawka's
Reggae Archives) when we're done.

Thanks.

Almost every Prince Far I song. There is a song/album where the I is quoting
Psalms directly. Much of Revelation is quoted eg Rev 5:5

Ras beat me too it... I seem to remember Far-I's "Psalms for I" as a
bible-commentary with music.

That could become a very long list, what's the point you are making
with the recent acquaintance ?
