A few weeks ago I started doing Bible memory verses with Eli, and as time has gone on I've been adding tunes to them to make them easier to learn and more fun to practice at random times and places. (you read everywhere that that helps children) So here are the four verses we now have tunes for! Feel free to steal them if you'd like!
*note: I was going to add a breakdown of how the words lined up with the original text (or how exactly the new words fit with the tune) but blogger took out my extra spaces I had added in between words. Soo... there just MIGHT be a short video coming with a demonstration of each song. So stay tuned! (haha! get it?) Anyhoo...
John 3:16
(tune: "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow")
the simpler version
For God so loved the world
For God so loved the world
For God so loved the world
He sent his son to die
He sent his son to die
to free us from our sins
For God so loved the world
He sent his son to die
so we could live with him always
John three sixteen
OR
(the more wordy version)
For God so loved the world
He sent his son to die
So we could live with him always
If only we believe
He sent his son to die
to free us from our sins
For God so loved the world
He sent his son to die
so we could live with him always
John three sixteen
********************************
Ephesians 6:1
(tune: "Joy to the World")
E-phe-sians, six verse one
Children, obey your parents
In the Lord
For it is right.
Children, obey your parents
It is how you serve the Lord.
Obey, obey, obey the Lord!
*********************************
Ephesians 5:2 (even though it's actually verses 1 and 2)
(tune: "Happy Birthday to You")
Ephesians five two
Ephesians five two
Imitate God.
Live a life of love.
********************************
Ecclesiastes 3:1
(tune: "Are you Sleeping" or "Brother John" whatever it's called)
Ecclesiastes, Ecclesiastes
three verse one, three verse one
There is a time for everything
There is a time for everything
three verse one, three verse one.
UPDATE: Okay, as much I totally do NOT want to expose my singing to the public, I do actually think it would be beneficial in order for you to get any use out of the above tunes and know how they actually go. So here we go with a minute of public humiliation, and please remember, I am not a singer! Oh and sorry about the out-of-focus view of the Bible. I sure wasn't going to show my FACE for the video and in order to hold the camera far enough away for the Bible to be in focus I couldn't hold it still at all in the air, so I just went with it anyway where it was comfortable for me to hold. So this is for you, folks!
More to come as we go along with this! Are there any tunes that you do with your kids? Please share, so I don't have to keep making a fool out of myself!
