Songs labelled KJV updated are based on the King James Version, which is in the public domain. The modernised wording is the work of Jesse Potter and is not a published translation. See About the text.

Recordings and artwork

Music is generated with AI, using Suno. Cover art is AI-generated. The Scripture text is not — see About the text for how each song’s words are prepared and checked.

What you may do

These songs are free to download and free to use. Specifically, you are welcome to:

Download, keep, and copy the files for your own household
Play them in a classroom, Sunday school, youth group, or homeschool co-op
Use them for Scripture memory work, personally or with a group
Sing them, in a church service or anywhere else
Share the files with a family or a class that would find them useful

What needs a conversation first

Redistributing the recordings commercially, or on another streaming service
Using them in a video, film, or podcast you intend to monetise
Reposting on any platform that licenses uploaded content under Creative Commons — the ESV licence specifically forbids this, so it is not something that can be permitted

None of that is meant to be discouraging. Ask, and the answer will very likely be yes.
