ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Musical settings of sayings of Jesus on the cross

So, sometimes people take words that Jesus said when he was on the cross and make them into songs. They use music to help tell the story of what happened to Jesus and what he was feeling during that really hard time. The music can be sad and slow to show that it was a sad time, and sometimes it gets louder and faster when the story gets more exciting. It's like telling a story with your voice, but also with instruments like a guitar, drums, or piano. Some people really like these songs because they feel like they help them understand and connect with Jesus better.
