A Musical Resource for Teaching Your Little Ones Their ABC Bible Verses

Before we started doing family worship on a regular basis, I used Susan Hunt’s amazing book My ABC Bible Verses: Hiding God’s Word in Little Hearts to teach Samuel and Ruthie about the Bible. For each letter of the alphabet, Susan Hunt includes a Bible verse beginning with that letter, a story about kids explaining the Bible verse (including practical applications for kids), and a “Let’s Talk” and “Let’s Pray” section. Samuel and Ruthie love the stories. The illustrations are cute, and having the Bible verses laid out in an easy-to-remember order is so helpful.

To help us commit the Bible verses to memory, I put all of them to music! I’ve been working on this for almost three years; it was a big project, and I had a lot of fun writing many, short tunes to go along with the verses. I wrote most of them as we read through the book, but towards the end, when we started doing family worship, I finished the rest of the songs in a couple days. On the recording, you’ll notice a little helper singing along with me at the end.

The songs are all on one track. My hope in recording this way is that, along with your little ones, you can go back and review all the previous verses together and then learn the new one.

I put a link to Susan Hunt’s page at the top of this post, but here’s the link again just in case. She’s written a number of excellent books about teaching children God’s Word and biblical womanhood. Two of my favorites, besides My ABC Bible Verses, include By Design and Your Home A Place of Grace. Susan Hunt has so much great wisdom to offer about motherhood, training up children in the Lord, and creating a home where everyone feels welcomed and loved.

A few months ago, I was talking with a good friend of mine on the phone and telling her about My ABC Bible Verses. She looked the book up on the spot, and we discovered that Susan Hunt also wrote My ABC Bible Verses for the Psalms. I’d like to make putting these verses to music my next big Scripture Songs project!

Without more introduction, here’s the recording of all of the verses featured in My ABC Bible Verses. I hope you find this resource useful and encouraging in teaching your little ones to hide God’s Word in their hearts.
