Salt of the Earth---Biblical Theme Series {Salt} (Bass)

Описание: “Salt of the Earth” captures the Bible’s steady symbolism of salt as preservation, covenant loyalty, purity, and distinct witness. It recalls the “covenant of salt” and Jesus’ call to be the salt of the earth—resisting compromise so God’s people remain flavorful, faithful, and effective. The song also applies it to speech: grace seasoned with truth.

Scripture anchors: Leviticus 2:13 (salt in offerings); Numbers 18:19 (covenant of salt); 2 Chronicles 13:5; Matthew 5:13; Mark 9:50; Colossians 4:6.

Salt of the Earth

[Verse 1]
Salt for offering, season true.
A covenant sign You carry through.
It keeps from rot; it holds from spoil;
It marks Your word like holy soil.

[Chorus 1]
Make me the salt upon the earth.
Preserve what’s good; reveal true worth.
Don’t let me fade, don’t let me blend—
Keep me distinct until the end.

[Verse 2]
If salt goes flat, it’s cast away.
No taste, no strength to light the way.
So guard my heart from compromise;
Keep truth in word, keep clean my eyes.

[Chorus 2]
Let grace be salt upon my speech.
With peace and truth, let mercy reach.
No bitter talk, no prideful tone—
A seasoned love that points to throne.

[Bridge]
You called it “salt”—a lasting vow.
So make my life consistent now.
Through fire and trial, keep me sure—
A holy taste that will endure.

[Outro]
So I will live as seasoned light—
A faithful witness in the night.
Till I behold Your face, my King—
My life will taste heavenly things.
