Children's Worship Music

Yesterday during the worship service we sang a song that was first introduced to us by the kids' choir on Easter Sunday. The song is one of my kids' favorite -- "Mighty, Mighty Savior" by Mark Altrogge.

It comes from the Sovereign Grace Music kids cd called Awesome God. I highly recommend the cd and so do my 4 kids (including Barnabas - age 11 months). The theology is kid appropriate and rich. However, like any good song, the lyrics and music are edifying and enjoyable to the parents as well.

I have to admit that some of these songs (the music not lyrics) sounded a tad corny to me at first, but after listening to them a few times they grew on me. Now I love them.

Theologically, I love having my children learn words like these:

No one is good
No one is holy before God
I need someone to cleanse me
No one is pure
No one is righteous in Your sight
I need someone to save me
But I’m so glad You died and rose again
For helpless sinners like me

What a mighty, mighty Savior You are
What a mighty, mighty Savior You are
You can wash away my sin
You can change my heart within
What a mighty, mighty Savior You are

Sin is too strong
For me to conquer on my own
I need someone to help me
I am too weak
I cannot change my evil heart
I need someone to save me
But I’m so glad You died and rose again
For helpless sinners like me

You can buy this song at Sovereign Grace here for $.99 or the the entire cd for $8.

Here are the songs from the album. Great gift idea for friends and family...

Almighty Creator
Forever God
You Are Always with Me
Who Is Like You?
Sovereign One
Mighty Mighty Savior
Jesus Came to Earth
Your Love
Three in One
For You Are Holy
The Gospel Song
Have You Heard?
