Music soothes my soul...music makes me smile, music brings a tear to my eye, music is such an inspiration to me. I love music, alittle bit of this and alittle bit of that.
Music plays a large part in Sunday Schools across the country. Long after adulthood, many may not remember specific lessons, but they can still sing the catchy tunes learned in those days of Sunday School. Many Sunday School songs span generations as one generation grows up, become teachers and pass on the best Sunday School songs to their students!
The purpose of Sunday School is to teach the students about creation, Jesus, His life adn the principles he taught. Those lessons stem from the Bible. Action songs are fun to, like "I may never march in the infantry". This song lets the kids march, aim, salute, pretend to fly and more...it always ends with "but I am in the Lord's army". Another enjoyable action song is "deep and wide". The kids mimic "deep" and "wide" with their hands. With each verse key words are replaced with "umm", until the kids do the actions while hummming the rest of the song. Most end up in giggles!
"Jesus loves me" ...reassures us that Jesus loves each one of us uncondtionally. It's a song of comfort that sticks with the kids long after they grow up.
"Jesus loves the little children"...is another song that shares the message that Jesus loves every child, everywhere, regardless of color or race.
"Oh be careful Little eyes what you see"..another action song that teaches kids the concept of thinking through what they do because Jesus sees everything. While the Father is "looking down in love" teaches the kids that they need to consider the action of what the child sees, hears, what hands and feet do and what they say.
I love.......
"Rise and shine, and give God the glory"
"Do Lord"
"Go tell it on the mountain"
"He's got the whole world in His hands"
"Father Abraham"
"His banner over me is love"
"I've got peace like a river
"This little light of mine"
"What a friend we have in Jesus"
"Give me oil in my lamp"
"Zacchcus was a wee little man"
I could go on and on... and I'm sure some of you know many other ones that i didn't even mention. Renee was telling me the other day that her and her friend Erin had to google the lyrics for "Father Abraham" had many sons, many sons had Father Abrham". I too, find myself singing
"The B-I-B-L-E, yes, thats the book for me....I stand alone on the word of God, the B-I-B-L-E". and yes "this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, hide it under a bushel..NO, I'm gonna let it shine." It's feels good to say "I"ve got peace like a river, I've got peace like a river in my soul". So reassuring "He's got the whole world in His hands, He's got you and me brother in His hands" "give me oil in my lamp, keep me going going going, I pray"
Sunday School songs bring back so many memories... and I'm so glad we never get to old to sing Sunday School songs! and I love how generation after generation, the same songs are sung!
I still love some good "ol hymns....especially
"AMAZING GRACE"
