Songs We Sing In Bible Class #4


Thought I would share a few more original songs to try with your students.  Not only do new songs "spark up" a class of students, sometimes it will "spark up" the Bible teacher as well! Hope you are continuing to create your own Bible songs!  Do you have book, chapter, and verse for your songs?  

Remember songs do not need to be lengthy, as you can see by some of the songs below, and children love repetition. The more simple the song, the better!  (Just click on the orange arrow below for the tune!) 
THE FAMILY IN GOD'S PLAN
(Eph. 5:23-25;  Titus 2:4;   Eph. 6:4)
The family in God's plan
Was husband, wife, children
To serve and love
The God above--
That's how the HOME began!

The husband loved the wife,
For his entire life,
She loved him, too,
Their family grew
In harmony, not strife.

To change the world's sad plight,
We need to use God's Light!
It's never to late
To love your mate,
And teach your children right!

JONAH
(Jonah 1:1-4-11)
God said, "Go to Nineveh!"
"Nineveh, Nineveh!"
God said, "Go to Nineveh!"
Jonah would not go.

Jonah tried to run away,
Run away, run away.
Jonah tried to run away.
Jonah would not go.

Jonah should have obeyed God,
Obeyed God, obeyed God.
Jonah should have obeyed God,
Jonah would not go.

A great fish gulped Jonah up,
Jonah up, Jonah up.
A great fish gulped Jonah up,
Jonah would not go.

Jonah changed his mind and prayed,
Mind and prayed, mind and prayed.
Jonah changed his mind and prayed,
Jonah chose to go.

God made the fish spit him out,
Spit him out, spit him out.
God made the fish spit him out,
Jonah chose to go.

Jonah preached to Nineveh,
Nineveh, Nineveh.
Jonah preached to Nineveh,
Jonah chose to go.

ELIJAH
(1 Kgs. 17:6, 22;  18:39;   2 Kgs. 2:11)
Elijah, Elijah,
Was a man of God.

Was a man of God.

The ravens, the ravens,
Brought him bread and meat.
The ravens, the ravens,
Brought him bread and meat.

Elijah, Elijah,
Brought a boy to life.

Brought a boy to life.

Mt. Carmel, Mt. Carmel,
Proved the LORD was God.

The whirlwind, the whirlwind,
Took him up to heaven.
The whirlwind, the whirlwind,
Took him up to heaven.

GIDEON
(Judges 6:12;  7:5-8)
A mighty man of valor,
Of valor, of valor.
A mighty man of valor,
Was brave Gideon!

A captain of three hundred,
Three hundred, three hundred,
A captain of three hundred,
Was brave Gideon!

GOD CALLED SAMUEL
(1 Sam. 3:10)
God called Samuel,
God called Samuel,
Late one night,
Late one night.
Samuel answered, "Speak to me,"
Samuel answered, "Speak to me,"
"I hear Thee!"
"I hear Thee!"

CHILDREN, OBEY YOUR PARENTS

Children, obey your parents,
Obey your parents, obey your parents,
Children, obey your parents,
That is what the Bible says!

JESUS TAUGHT BY PARABLES AND MIRACLES
(Lk. 8:4;  Jn. 2:11;  Acts 10:38;  Mt. 5, 6, 7)
Oh, Jesus taught by parables and miracles,
By example and by command,
Oh! Jesus taught us in so many different ways,
We need to read the Bible each day!
