Child playing musical instruments.

Because children learn through music and repetition, each of the five Preschool Curricula and two Bible Curricula contain a Bible Song of the Week to further the biblical learning.  I chose these traditional songs for young children because they're easy to learn and are theologically solid. 

This list contains videos and lyrics for Bible song titles alphabetically P-Z.  See the entire list here.

The Wise Man and the Foolish Man

The wise man built his house upon the rock. (pound fist in hand ending strong on word “rock”) - 3x
And the rains came a-tumbling down! (shower rain down with fingers)

Chorus:
The rain came down, as the floods came up. (shower rain down with finger and then raise palms back up) - 3x
And the house on the rock stood firm! (make house with hands and hit fist to palm on word “rock”)

The foolish man built his house upon the sand. (pound fist in hand ending with palms moving out on “sand”) - 3x
And the rains came a-tumbling down! (shower rain down with fingers)

Chorus:
The rain came down, as the floods came up. (shower rain down with finger and then raise palms back up) - 3x
And the house on the sand went splat! (spread hands out)

So build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ. (pound fist in hand, point up for Jesus) - 3x
And the blessing will come down! (shower rain down with fingers)

Chorus:
The blessing will come down as the prayers go up. (shower rain down with fingers, raise prayer hands up.) - 3x
So build your life on the Lord!  (pound fist in hand, point up for Jesus)

 

This Little Light of Mine

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine (repeat 2x)
Let it shine, Let it shine, Let it shine
Hide it under a bushel?  No!  I'm gonna let it shine (repeat 2x)
Let it shine, Let it shine, Let it shine

Optional verse:
Don't let Satan blow it out…
Let it shine 'til Jesus comes…
Let it shine all over our home…

 

This is the Day

This is the day (point down)
(echo) This is the day 
That the Lord has made (point up)
(echo) That the Lord has made 
I will rejoice (wave arms)
(echo) I will rejoice
And be glad in it (point to your smile)
(echo) And be glad in it
This is the day that the Lord has made (clap)
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day  (point down)
(echo) This is the day 
That the Lord has made (point up)

 

Trust and Obey

Trust and obey (march in place and then salute)
For there's no other way (cross arms in front of body)
To be happy in Jesus (move fingers to make happy smile at mouth)
But to trust and obey (march in place and then salute)

 

Whisper a Prayer

Whisper a prayer in the morning,
Whisper a prayer at noon.
Whisper a prayer in the evening,
He will keep your heart in tune.

God answers prayer in the morning,
God answers prayer at noon.
God answers prayer in the evening.
He will keep your heart in tune.

 

Zacchaeus

Zacchaeus was a wee little man, a wee little man was he. (place both arms in front of you about a foot apart to show size)
He climbed up in the sycamore tree, for the Lord he wanted to see. (climb up a tree, hand above eyes to seek)
And as the Savior passed that way, He looked up in the tree, (march, hand above eyes to seek)
And he said, “Zacchaeus, you come down; (point and say)
For I’m going to your house today, for I’m going to your house today.”  (clap on the beat)
