After I first turned a Christian, I used to be launched to children Bible songs reminiscent of "Behold, Behold," "I Know Whom I Have Believed," and "Great is Thy Faithfulness " . Many instances I was unaware that I was really singing the phrases of the Bible. Later, after I came across the verse in my reading, I was shocked that I already knew it.
Bible verse songs are a wonderful means of memorizing Scripture. Music has a rhythm and when that rhythm locks the words of the Bible into it, the verse is far simpler to recall. Tv advertisers have used this for years to get the identify of their product into the minds of the public. I can nonetheless sing commercials I heard 50 years in the past!
Of course, the Bible will not be written like poetry in a metric sample, and thus it is harder to set it to music. Strategies for writing tunes to match Scripture words is the topic of another article. However, when that is executed properly, the phrases and meter of the tune are locked collectively.
Learning Scripture reminiscence songs also helps us remember the verses. I can recall numerous occasions after I consider a verse whereas talking and can quote it precisely. In my mind, nevertheless, I'm really singing the verse rapidly. I used to be able to keep in mind it due to the rhythm of the tune
I began writing Bible verses to music after I first taught third grade in a Christian school. A few of my students had issue studying the memory verse for the day and I needed to assist them. The reply was music. When I sang the reminiscence verse to them, they might decide it up and keep in mind it way more shortly.
Bible verse songs additionally provide a way of meditating on the Scripture. As the song runs again and again in my thoughts, so do the phrases. The Spirit has thus used this to apply the Bible verse to my life in numerous situations.
Since words of songs are sometimes repeated, it's a means of even clarifying a verse. One instance is 2 Corinthians 5:21 that accommodates a misplaced modifier in fashionable English. It says, "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin" The verse is clearly not teaching that we're sinless however that Christ is. Through repetition of the phrases, the song makes this clear.
Bible songs can current the Gospel in a manner that isn't offensive to unbelievers. One yr I taught my class all of the verses for the Roman’s Highway plan of salvation they usually sang them for a parents’ meeting. Any unsaved individuals who were current heard God’s method of salvation without a sermon.
Lastly, Bible verse songs are a way of retaining Scripture as I become older. I find it far more difficult to memorize something and retain it now than I did after I was younger. Nevertheless, I can nonetheless keep in mind a song and thru this implies can be taught and retain verses.
