Creation Songs For Children’s Church

Felicia Mollohan — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 15:14:26 +0000

Here are several simple songs about God’s creation that children can sing at church. They can be used with a Sunday School lesson about creation or in children’s church. These might be especially helpful for preschool Sunday school songs.

These songs were collected from several sources around the Internet. If you have another to share leave it in the comment section below.

God Made Me and All of You

sing to the tune of “London Bridge”

God made me and all of you
All of you,
All of you,
God made me and all of you.
He loves us!
(point to self and others when you say me and you. Hug self at the end)

He made frogs and birdies too
Birdies too,
Birdies too,
He made frogs and birdies too
Cheep! Cheep! Cheep!
(Hop around like frogs/flap around like birds)

God Made Me

(Make a sun above your head by placing your hands together)
GOD MADE THE SUN!

(Make wave motions with your hands at your side)
GOD MADE THE SEA!

Jesus Made Me Just Like Him

To the tune of “Jesus Loves Me.” Touch each part as you sing.

Heart that loves and hair that grows.

Yes, Jesus loves me
He made me just like Him.

Scripture Memorization Music: Hide The Word CD’S

Jeri Tanner — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:11:41 +0000

I’ve listened to quite a selection of Scripture cd’s over the past 30 years, but haven’t found any I like better than the Hide the Word cd’s put out by Mark Altrogge, senior pastor of Sovereign Grace Church in Indiana, Pennsylvania and writer of such great songs for worship as “I Stand in Awe” and “I’m Forever Grateful.” From Mark’s Forever Grateful Music website: “Hide the Word combines the power of music with the power of repetition to make memorizing God’s Word easy. Each Scripture, including its reference, is made into a song. Each Scripture is repeated at least 3 times per song. As you play the music while driving, doing dishes, or any other time throughout your day, you will find yourself quickly picking up the verses and recalling them from memory.”

This is all true, as I can attest to! The memorable arrangements and excellent production of these cd’s makes them irresistible. Kids and adults alike love them, and the fact that they make Scripture memorization so effortless and enjoyable makes them a truly wonderful resource. A total of eight cd’s—that’s over 160 Scriptures set to music—are available at the website. They will make helpful additions to your church’s and family’s efforts to memorize Scripture, and they make great gifts, as well. I intend to use them as giveaways and awards in our AWANA program.

We need to hide God’s word in our hearts so that we will not sin against Him, and a resource that so wonderfully facilitates that is a good find! You can order Hide the Word Scripture memorization cd’s at Forever Grateful Music.

Music Review: To Be Like Jesus (Sovereign Grace Music)

Tony Kummer — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 20:05:05 +0000

Finding children’s worship music that has biblical depth and musical excellence can be a challenge. That is one reason why I was excited to learn about the new CD for kids from Sovereign Grace Music. To Be Like Jesus contains 12 worship songs about the fruits of the Spirit. The album is inspired by Galatians 5:22-23, “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”

You can listen to samples and order the CD on the Sovereign Grace Website. Please check it out and share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Morality Rooted in the Gospel

Normally, I am cautious about children’s resources that focus on being a good person. That kind of approach can leave out the Gospel and makes right morals the goal of Christianity. “Be a good little girl and God will love you” is never the message of the Bible.

But Sovereign Grace Music is always about the Gospel, and this album is no exception. Every song on this CD points listeners back to Jesus and his cross. Consider the words from the title track:

I don’t always do what’s right

Jesus lived a perfect life

And for sins like mine He died

Teach me to obey Your Word

Help me to put others first

Holy Spirit, change my life

Theology Set To Music

I also appreciate the God-centered focus of this music. This album shows that true Christian character must be rooted in the character of God. Every song celebrates the Glory of God and several praise his specific attributes. Children will sing about God as the Creator, Provider, and Savior. They will exalt in his goodness and gracious attitude toward humanity. This music will help kids think rightly about God and grow in their love for Him.

Powerful Music That Enhances The Message

The music is excellent. The clear melody and frequent use of a children’s chorus will encourage kids to sing along. Most songs have an upbeat contemporary style, complete with a powerful bass rhythm, lead guitar, and drums. But there is variety, especially with the more contemplative songs that feature a piano accompaniment. The musical style of each song complements the lyrics.

Suggested Ways To Use This CD

I have ordered several copies of To Be Like Jesus to encourage families devotions in our church. We will also integrate a some of these songs into our regular children’s worship time during children’s church. Many older children will want to listen to this CD on their own.

Sovereign Grace Music offers discounts for church orders and does give a price break on larger orders. This is their second children’s worship CD. The first was titled Awesome God and is available on their website.
