Originally posted by WrittenFromUtopia Unless we are talking about a song that is essentially a passage of scripture or Psalm put to a tune for singing, without changing its context or wording, it is uninspired.

What does essentially a passage of scripture or Psalm mean? Does that mean it can be close to a direct quote from scripture as long as it conveys the same idea as scripture ? I've heard people say that the WCF is 'essentially scripture, but systematized'.
