Revelation 3

Which worship songs are based on Revelation 3?

  1. I Belong To Jesus (Dylan's Song) [Live] — Brooke Ligertwood (2022) Revelation 3:5

    The opening image of the singer's name recorded in the book of life directly invokes Revelation's register of those who belong to Christ.

  2. Amaram Onyewem (Live) — Mercy Chinwo & Pastor Jerry Eze (2024) Revelation 3:7-8

    The song explicitly identifies the church in Philadelphia and reproduces Christ's message about its limited strength, faithfulness to his word, and the divinely opened door before it.

  3. O Come, O Come, Emmanuel — John Van Deusen (2022) Revelation 3:7

    Christ is invoked through the Davidic key title and the corresponding authority to open what cannot otherwise be opened.

  4. Poppin - Remix — Bizzle (2024) Revelation 3:9

    The second verse directly uses Revelation’s designation for people who falsely claim covenant identity while opposing Christ’s faithful community.

  5. All the Way — Bryson Gray (2023) Revelation 3:15-16

    The chorus invokes Christ’s warning to the Laodicean church that spiritual lukewarmness leads to rejection. It applies that warning to divided or halfhearted allegiance.

  6. Stay With God — Bryson Gray (2020) Revelation 3:15-16

    The description of professing Christians as lukewarm invokes Christ's rebuke of the church in Laodicea for being neither cold nor hot.

  7. Menorah — Jackie Hill Perry & nobigdyl. (2025) Revelation 3:15-16

    The description of being neither hot nor cold and therefore expelled from Christ’s mouth directly invokes the warning to the church in Laodicea.

  8. The Nu Revolution — Mike Teezy (2021) Revelation 3:15-16

    The warning that a person must be spiritually hot or face being expelled unmistakably reworks Christ’s rebuke of the lukewarm church at Laodicea.

  9. Uncomfortable — Jackie Hill Perry & Trey Heflin (2025) Revelation 3:17

    The contrast between considering oneself wealthy and actually being wretched closely reflects Christ’s diagnosis of the self-satisfied Laodicean church.

  10. 969 — ApologetiX (2022) Revelation 3:20

    The recurring depiction of the Lord standing at a person's door and knocking unmistakably invokes Christ's appeal to the church at Laodicea.

  11. Go Witness — ApologetiX (2020) Revelation 3:20

    The depiction of Christ knocking at a person’s door unmistakably draws on Jesus’ appeal to the church at Laodicea, though the song adapts the image into a summons to evangelize.

  12. Just Like That — Behold the Beloved (2022) Revelation 3:20

    The second verse closely follows Christ's invitation in Revelation 3:20 by depicting him calling, knocking at a door, and awaiting a personal response.

  13. Christmas Eve In Bethlehem — Hannah Kerr (2020) Revelation 3:20

    The image of Christ knocking and awaiting either admission or rejection closely paraphrases the appeal of Revelation 3:20. The song places that invitation within an expectation of Christ’s return.

  14. Hear That Knock — John Pape (2023) Revelation 3:20

    The chorus presents Jesus knocking and calls the hearer to open the door and receive him, closely paraphrasing Christ’s appeal to the church at Laodicea.

  15. Crazy Love (Acoustic Set) - Live — Maverick City Music & JWLKRS Worship (2025) Revelation 3:20

    The bridge presents divine love as persistently knocking and awaiting admission, closely evoking Christ's appeal to the church at Laodicea to open the door to him.

  16. True Religion — J. Monty (2024) Revelation 3:20

    The warning that the Lord is at the door closely evokes Christ’s appeal to the Laodicean church.

  17. The Heart — Jackie Hill Perry (2025) Revelation 3:20

    The portrayal of Christ knocking at a hardened inner house while awaiting the occupant's consent closely reworks Revelation's image of Christ standing at the door and knocking.

  18. Lover Of My Soul — TAYA (2023) Revelation 3:20

    The opening depicts Christ standing at the heart's door, knocking and awaiting admission, closely adapting his invitation to the Laodicean church.

  19. Someone's At The Door — Nathaniel Bassey (2024) Revelation 3:20

    The song closely reworks Jesus’ appeal to the Laodicean church, depicting him standing outside, knocking and calling, while urging the hearer to open the door and receive him.

Revelation 3 (King James Version)

1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
