Do you know of any great Bible Songs?

Posted on 26. Aug, 2010 by in Kids Church, Personal, Resources

Okay, I’m going a little old school here. I’m looking for some really good “old-fashion” Bible Songs. Cheesy instrumentation is okay. Before you disown me and unsubscribe from this blog, let me explain… please. :)

Every night when I put Titus to bed, we read from his Bible and something that has been significant is singing together. For close to a month, we read the story of Joshua and Jericho because he really likes the song. I know that he’s learning the story and falling in love with his time in the Bible even more because he loves singing the songs. A few weeks later we started reading the story of Zacchaeus and he really likes that song as well. This week, we’ve been reading Daniel and the Lions Den, but I don’t know a song for that. However, I know that there are hundreds of simple Bible Songs and maybe there’s one about Daniel and the Lions Den.

So, do you know of a great resource for simple Bible Songs? Simple is okay, we just need to learn them some we can sing them during our Bible time. If the music is a little cooler and up-to-date, then that’s a bonus… but I’m not interested in techno or rap versions of these songs… my son is 3. :)

    Check out Go Fish’s new CD – Kickin’ It Old School. Lots of old hymns updated with more of modern flare. It’s a good one, but I don’t recall specific stories.

    Phil Joel has a new one out as well called Deliberate Kids II. There is a song on there called Be Courageous (I think). Part of the song is about the story of Daniel and the Lions Den.

    Other than that, I don’t know of any. I think using music to help kids learn Bible Stories is a great idea. I’ve done the same thing with my kids and they seem to enjoy it!

    O golden oldie for Daniel is this one. You can do actions to it as well. Kids love the SHUT! Open arms apart, one above the other, to represent a lion’s mouth, then shut quickly with a big clap. It may be a bit advanced for a three year old, but maybe he’ll enjoy it latwr, or sing along with you a little bit.

    To the tune of “Jesus keep me near the cross”

    Daniel was man of prayer
    Daily he prayed three times
    Even when they had him cast
    In the den of lions
    In the den, in the den
    Fears could not alarm him
    God just shut the lion’s mouths
    So they could not harm him.

    haha. I still have “Zacchaeus was a wee little man” stuck in my head from Sunday School. Defiantly got me to remember who Zacchaeus was, but now when people talk about him I groan because it gets the song stuck in my head again. For the next week it will be running through my head. Well here are the lyrics for this song… defiantly a classic Bible song. Although I feel like I am forgetting a section of the song so these lyrics may not be complete. Hope this helps ya. :-)

    Zacchaeus was a wee little man, and a wee little man was he.
    He climbed up in a sycamore tree, for the Lord he wanted to see.
    And as the Savior passed him by, He looked up in the tree,
    And he said, “Zacchaeus, you come down from there;
    For I’m going to your house today, for I’m going to your house today”

    Zacchaeus came down from that tree, as happy as he could be,
    He gave his money to the poor, and said: “What a better man I’ll be.”

    Have you ever heard of The Singing Bible? It’s meant for kids anywhere from 5-12 but I’ve even seen my younger nieces & nephews singing to it. I even find myself singing some of the songs :-) What’s really neat is that it’s not just songs but a story going on at the same time so it teaches kids the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation. You can listen to 4 songs on their website in their “free stuff” section at this link http://singingbible.com/free-stuff/.

    Hope this helps!
