I love Bible school songs. The songs are simple, yet the often have a powerful meaning. There are several Bible school songs that I think every child, as well as every adult, should know. If you do not know the song, and want to learn the song, ask other members at your congregation if they know the song. Or you could google the song on the internet – I am sure that there are listings of the words as well as the tunes of these songs. This is a list of just a few songs I thought about. I really like the songs which come directly from Scripture because they have the added benefit of learning the Word of God better.
- Jesus Loves Me and Jesus Loves the Little Children. These staple children’s songs seem to lose their place as we grow older; however, it is important for adult to remember that Jesus does love us.
- This Little Light of Mine. The principle of this song comes from Matthew 5:13-17.
- The Wise Man Built His House. This song comes from Matthew 7:24-27. This song teaches the important principle that we must not only hear the words of Jesus, but also do what He commands.
- Books of the Bible (New Testament) and Books of the Bible (Old Testament). I still sing these songs in my head to help me find the book I am searching for in the Bible. Remind children that singing these songs is a good way to find a book in the Bible.
- Seek Ye First. The first verse of this song comes directly from Matthew 6:33. We need the reminder to seek the kingdom of God first in our lives.
- 1st John 4:7-8. This songs comes directly from Scripture and even includes the verse within the words of the song. I wish more songs were like that!
