The “use of the Greatest Name, the names of the Manifestations of God or the names of the Central Figures of our Faith in the lyrics of music” - March 20, 1972

We have found nothing in the text forbidding the use of the Greatest Name, the names of the Manifestations of God or the names of the Central Figures of our Faith in the lyrics of music. However, we feel that when they are used they should be used with reverence and respect, both in the manner in which they are incorporated in the lyrics and in the manner of representation.
