'''''True Grit: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack''''' is a soundtrack to the 2010 [[True Grit (2010 film)|film of the same name]]. ''True Grit'' is the 15th Coen brothers film [[Film score|scored]] by long-time collaborator [[Carter Burwell]]. The Coens discussed the idea of using 19th-century church music, "something that was severe (sounding). It couldn't be soothing or uplifting, and at the same time it couldn't be outwardly depressing. I spent the summer going through hymn books," Burwell said.<ref name="Burwell" />
[[Johnny Cash]]'s rendition of "[[God's Gonna Cut You Down]]" was used in the [[Trailer (film)|theatrical trailer]]. The 1888 [[hymn]] "[[Leaning on the Everlasting Arms]]" is used as Mattie Ross' theme, and about a quarter of the score is based on it. [[Iris DeMent]]'s version, from her 2004 album ''[[Lifeline (Iris DeMent album)|Lifeline]]'', is used during the end credits. Other hymns are also referenced in the score, including "[[What a Friend We Have in Jesus]]",<ref name="Burwell">{{cite magazine |url=https://www.variety.com/article/VR1118028850?refcatid=16 |title=Burwell in tune with Coen brothers |magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |date=2010-12-21 |accessdate=2011-02-27}}</ref> "Hold to God's Unchanging Hand",<ref>{{cite web |url= https://hymnary.org/text/time_is_filled_with_swift_transition |title= Hold to God's Unchanging Hand |work= [[Hymnary.org]] |accessdate= 2018-04-10}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.hymntime.com/tch/htm/h/o/l/d/hold2god.htm |title= Hold to God's Unchanging Hand |work= The Cyber Hymnal |accessdate= 2018-04-10}}</ref> and "The Glory-Land Way".<ref>{{cite web |url= https://hymnary.org/text/im_in_the_way_the_bright_and_shining_way |title= The Glory-Land Way |work= [[Hymnary.org]] |accessdate= 2018-04-10}}</ref> Because the hymns are considered pre-composed music, the score was deemed ineligible to be nominated for [[Academy Award for Best Original Score|Best Original Score]] in the [[83rd Academy Awards|2010 Academy Awards]].<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.variety.com/article/VR1118029326 |title=Academy nixes four score contenders |magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |date=2010-12-21 |accessdate=2011-02-27}}</ref>
