Behold, Behold Rev. 3:20

A Bible verse put to song:

“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.”   -Revelation 3:20

This is a fun, peppy song, expressing well the truth of the Bible verse.

It works well as a song for Jr. Church/Children’s church/Sunday school time.

Children’s Song – Wordless Book Chorus/My Heart Was Dark with Sin

The Wordless Book – some ministries use this tool frequently.  It can be a way of putting a lot of information into a succinct packet.

This song likewise puts a lot of information into a small packet.  It reminds me of the passage in I Cor. 15:

“…Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that He was buried,
and that He rose again the third day…” (I Cor. 15:3-4)

The gospel in a nutshell!  This song likewise has much in a small amount of lyrics:

      • We are sinners
      • Jesus’ blood cleanses our sin
      • We can be forgiven “white as snow”
      • God’s Word is source of truth
      • New Christians grow by reading God’s Word and praying

Thy Word Have I Hid in My Heart – Bible Verses Put to Music

Ps. 119:11: a familiar verse for most of us.  My mother even wrote this verse in the first Bible she gave me (as approximately a 4 year old!).  I still remember this passage and her handwriting of the verse.

How powerful is the truth presented in this short passage.  The song aptly communicated the message presented in this verse.

This works well as a song for Jr./Children’s Church, for Christian dayschool classrooms, for use in your home, etc.

The tune was written by E.O. Sellers.

Thy Word have I hid in my heart,
that I might not sin against Thee;
That I might not sin, that I might not sin,
Thy Word have I hid in my heart.
