Search for common words

Is there a way for me to search for common words in a particular book or chapter?

Example #1 - can I sort the entire Gospel of John to see common words? How many times is "world" used, how many times is "above" used, etc. I know how to do individual word searches, but can I sort all of the words in an entire book/chapter?

Example #2 - can I search to see what words are common between the Gospel of John and the Epistles of John. Is there a way to cross reference every common word between the Gospel and 1 John?

I know that I am not articulating my question very well, but I'm hoping someone will understand and be able to answer me.

For example one, if you run a morph search on a book of the Bible for "lemma:*" and use the Analysis view you can get a list of words based on frequency. It's veeeeery slow. A little faster would be "@V, @N, @B, @J, @R" etc. You can pick all parts of speech or just nouns and verbs as you'll be more likely to be interested in those. Then you can drag the lemma heading to the sort field and that will give you a list of words ordered by frequency.

There currently isn't a way to compare word usage between two passages. However, when Logos implements word lists (it's on the list of expected features) this should be a rather easy task.
