Since it’s the summer hols, posting is going to be a bit light. My brain is fried after nearly five months of Vicar’s Wifeing, but I’ll put up a few fun things over the coming weeks to cheer us all up as the rain reminds us we live in the Wet Midlands.
When I was posting the Seeds Family Worship kinetic typography the other week, I came across this song. It’s the best books of the bible song I’ve come across, and I’ve looked at a good few.
Please excuse the American pronunciation for various books (Isaiah, Hosea and Philemon) plus the references cited as being from ‘Psalms’. We are finding it easy to forgive them cos the kids love this song. But don’t worry, we’ll make sure they pronounce everything correctly (or at least with a Black Country accent).
you should have look at Dave Godfeys material he does a good books of the bible song- in a spirit in the sky style- its called 66 books 1 author and can be found here: http://www.omegazone.org.uk/shop/I_love_ya.htm
We love his music and we all sing along!
Thanks Emma, that sounds great. His stuff looks really interesting. I like the look of the stuff that’s linked to the national curriculum too.
He’s great, he wrote a song for our wedding- set music to love is patient etc. quite radical having a sung reading! His curriculum stuff is great too- our daughter loves it!
Thanks for posting! Now I’m tempted to do a UK version with the proper pronunciations… Isaiah…Jeremiah creates a nice internal rhyme as well. And It appears I need to hire a proof reader! Maybe you can comment on the new 12 Disciples Song before it becomes too popular… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnAjDIW3If8
