Mixing classic children's tunes like Mary Had A Little Lamb, London Bridge Is Falling Down, and It's A Small World with new Bible lyrics is not a new concept, yet, whenever you do it yourself, you think you are a genius! Children easily grasp on to 'new' songs such as the ones below because they already know the tune. Half the work is done! Try a song or two below to see how easy it is, then try writing one of your own! Remember to keep it simple and keep it biblical! If your students are learning, they might as well learn it correctly straight from the Bible. (Click on the arrows below to hear the song. Technology is great!)
HOW DO CHRISTIANS WORSHIP GOD?
(1 Thess. 5:17; Eph. 5:19; 1 Cor. 16:2; Acts 20:7; 2 Tim. 4:2)
How do Christians worship God?
Worship God, worship God?
How do Christians worship God
On the first day of the week?
With bowed heads, they pray to Him,
Pray to Him, pray to Him,
With bowed heads, they pray to Him
On the first day of the week.
With one voice, they sing to Him,
Sing to Him, sing to Him,
With one voice, they sing to Him
On the first day of the week.
Cheerfully, they give to Him,
Give to Him, give to Him,
Cheerfully, they give to Him
On the first day of the week.
Soberly, they break the bread,
Break the bread, break the bread,
Soberly, they break the bread
On the first day of the week.
With God's Word, they preach the Truth,
Preach the Truth, preach the Truth,
With God's Word, they preach the Truth
On the first day of the week.
MARY, MARTHA, AND LAZARUS
(John 11:1-45)
Mary, Mary, and Lazarus,
And Lazarus, and Lazarus,
Mary, Martha, and Lazarus
Were friends of Jesus.
Lazarus got sick and died,
Sick and died, sick and died,
Lazarus got sick and died,
His friend, Jesus, cried.
"Come forth, Lazarus!" Jesus said,
Jesus said, Jesus said.
"Come forth, Lazarus!" Jesus said,
He raised him from the dead!
JESUS WAS TEMPTED
(Matthew 4:1-11)
Jesus was tempted just like we are, too,
Once for forty days He did not eat food,
"Make these stones become bread,"
That's what the devil said,
But Jesus remained true.
(CHORUS)
Satan took Him up to the temple's top,
Up from there Jesus was to simply drop,
"Thou shalt not tempt the Lord,"
Jesus quoted from God's Word,
Again, Jesus remained true.
(CHORUS)
"All the kingdoms of this world yours shall be,
If you'll only fall down and worship me,"
"Get Thee hence," Jesus sent,
And away Satan went,
Always, Jesus remained true.
(CHORUS)
CHORUS:
"It is written," Jesus said,
"It is written," Jesus said,
"It is written," Jesus said,
Do we say that, too?
