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 G-I. See the entire list here.
God is so good
God is so good
God is so good
He’s so good to me
Optional verses (make up your own):
God cares for me...
God answers prayers...
I love Him so...
Tune: “Three Blind Mice”
God loves kids (repeat 4x) (point up, cross arms over chest, point at self with thumbs)
He loves me more than I can know (cross arms over chest, point to head)
I don’t know why He loves me so (shake head and shrug)
I guess I’ll never, ever know (cross hands in front)
Why God loves kids (point up for God, cross arms over chest, point to self with thumbs)
Tune: Marine Corp’s Hymn
God’s love is like a circle,
A circle big and round.
And when you see a circle
No ending can be found.
And so the love of Jesus,
Goes on eternally,
Forever and forever
I know that God loves me.
Chorus: (gradually get faster)
I’m inright, (point at self)
outright, (point out)
upright, (point up)
downright, (point down)
Happy all the time. (clap 3x)
(Repeat)
Since Jesus Christ came in (point to heart)
And cleansed my heart from sin (move hands in opposite directions as to “wipe away”)
He's got the whole world in His hands (3x)
The whole world in His hands
Create your own verses:
He's got our family...
He's got the mountains and the rivers...
He's got the fish and the birds...
If you’re happy/thankful and you know it clap your hands (clap, clap) (Repeat 2x)
If you’re happy/thankful and you know it then your life will really show it
If you’re happy/thankful and you know it clap your hands (clap, clap)
Optional verse:
…stomp your feet…
…say amen…
…do all three…
Jesus is the Shepherd, (point up)
Guess who I am? (shrug shoulders)
Such a lovely secret, Shhhhh! (finger to mouth)
I’m His little lamb. (point to self)
I may never march in the infantry (march)
Ride in the cavalry (pretend you're riding a horse)
Shoot the artillery (clap hands together and move one hand into the air like a missile)
I may never fly o'er the enemy (fly like a bird)
But I'm in the Lord's army (point to self and then up to God)
I'm in the Lord's army, yes, sir! (salute)
I'm in the Lord's army, yes, sir!
I may never march in the infantry
Ride in the cavalry
Shoot the artillery
I may never fly o'er the enemy
But I'm in the Lord's army, yes, sir!
I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart
Where?
Down in my heart!
Where?
Down in my heart!
I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart
Down in my heart to stay
And I'm so happy
So very happy
I've got the love of Jesus in my heart
Down in my heart
And I'm so happy
So very happy
I've got the love of Jesus in my heart.
Optional Verses:
I've got the love of Jesus, love of Jesus...
I've got the peace that passes understanding...
And if the Devil doesn't like it, He can sit on a tack! Ouch!
