- NOT A QUOTE 2
This is a count, not a verdict. We grade songs, one at a time, against what each one does with the text. A tally of those checks describes a catalogue. It is not a judgment of the people who wrote or sang it, and no number here puts anyone on or off The List. Most drift is craft pressure, not deception. Read the proofs, not the arithmetic.

“Same God”
Elevation Worship feat. Jonsal Barrientes
Sing it. Nothing here is quoting, and calling on God by what He has done is how scripture prays. Just read Genesis 28 to the end of the sentence, because that promise names its own finish.✓ The first name in the roll call has a real address. The promise behind the title God of Jacob is Genesis 28:13-15, and a published line-by-line review of this song sends readers to exactly that passage
⚠ Verse 15 closes by tying the keeping to a finish, until God has done what He promised, and Jacob's own vow in verses 20 and 21 reads it as cover for one journey and a safe return

“Same God”
Elevation Worship feat. Jonsal Barrientes
Sing it. Nothing here is presented as scripture, and the roll call is accurate to the stories it names. Just know that Hebrews 13:8, the verse this song gets attached to, grounds imitable faith rather than scheduled miracles.✓ The roll call is accurate at every name: covenant to Jacob, a sea split before Moses, favor on Mary, courage for David, each a documented act at its own address
⚠ Hebrews 13:8 grounds the command next to it, imitate the faith of your former leaders. The song asks God's constancy to underwrite present repetitions of past rescues, a wider job than the sentence does in its paragraph
