Songs We Sing In Bible Class #3


There are a few children's Bible songs that have been sung for decades.  They are easy to learn, are repetitious, and teach valuable lessons that children may remember for their entire lives. Are there songs that you can remember from your own childhood Bible classes when you were young?  I hope so!  But, perhaps, you are a new Christian and have little knowledge of children's Bible songs.  Or, maybe, you can teach a Bible class just fine, but find the singing the hard part.  Or, perhaps, you are just looking for a new song to help with a particular Bible lesson. Whatever your need, here are a few more favorites to use in your Bible class. Remember, you are not required to have a beautiful singing voice in order to please the Lord--there is no Bible verse for that!  You simply need to sing!  (Eph. 5:19)  (Just click on the orange arrow below for the tune!)

THE WISE MAN BUILT HIS HOUSE UPON A ROCK
The wise man built his house upon a rock,
The wise man built his house upon a rock,
The wise man built his house upon a rock,
And the rains came tumbling down!

The rains came down and the floods came up!
The rains came down and the floods came up!
The rains came down and the floods came up,
And the house on the rock stood firm!  BUT--

The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
And the rains came tumbling down!

The rains came down and the floods came up!
The rains came down and the floods came up!
The rains came down and the floods came up!
And the house on the sand went SMASH!  SO--

Build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ,
Build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ,
Build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ,
And the blessings will come tumbling down!

The blessings come down as the prayers go up!
The blessings come down as the prayers go up!
The blessings come down as the prayers go up!
So build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ!
