By Scripture Lullabies
As society grows louder and more confusing, our children can struggle to know what narratives to lean into. It’s increasingly important to equip our kids to understand and stand firm in truth. Hebrews 2:1 encourages us to “pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it.” How can we help our kids internalize God’s Word and identify what is and is not from Him?
God wired our children’s brains to memorize in powerful ways, including through music. We can help our kids learn, understand, remember, and take to heart God’s Word by inviting them on a musical journey through the Bible.
God laid this journey on our hearts when we gathered an orchestra to record our first album, Hidden In My Heart: A Lullaby Journey Through Scripture. We didn’t only want to help families memorize Scripture. Instead, as they hide God’s Word in their hearts, we also want them to experience His peace profoundly. As our children hear His living and active Word set to soul-stirring melodies, they draw near to Jesus, the Word of Life, who came to rescue them.
Begin with Be Still
Often, when God wants to teach us something, He first calls us to stillness. Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God.” In the original Hebrew, be still communicates a hard stop—it means to refrain or cease. This is a powerful practice we can walk through with our children. While the enemy uses busyness and distractions to keep us from spiritual formation, God calls us to the quiet place where we can hear His voice. Be still is the opening invitation on our musical journey, preparing our hearts for each step ahead.
Be still my soul
Be still and know that He is God
Rest quietly
Rest in His loving arms for
He is watching over you
Ever faithful, ever true
So be still my soul
Be still and know that He is God
Journey to the Cross
No point on the faith journey is more important than the pinnacle of the cross. In fact, without this stop, there isn’t a walk of faith but only aimless wandering. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast” (NIV).
God is calling our children to saving faith. We can partake in this beautiful work as we guide them to the One who “so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son” (John 3:16 NKJV). Our musical journey through Scripture should regularly return to the anthem of Christ’s deliverance. May the song on our children’s lips be a melody of saving grace.
For God so loved the world
He gave His one and only son
That whosoever believes in Him
They will not perish
They will have everlasting life
He loves us
God loves us more than we could know
He loves us
He gave His son
Jesus would come
To give it all
No greater love
Move Forward with Gospel Identity
Christ’s redemption transforms how our kids view themselves and their place in the world. When they begin to grasp that they are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Ps. 139:14), they can trace that truth back to creation when God created man and woman in His image. They can let go of negativity and culture’s skewed ideals as they embrace their identity as a child beloved by the Creator of the cosmos.
Don’t forget I’m your Creator
You are Mine and I adore you
Nothing else moves My heart like you
You’re not here by chance, you are My design
I did well to give you life
You are fearfully and wonderfully made
Long before you drew your first breath
I knew your name
Surely goodness and mercy
Will follow you forever
For you are fearfully and wonderfully made
Join God’s Mission
As our children embrace their identity as beloved and rescued children of God, their eyes are opened to an incredibly exciting and purposeful way of life. Being “fearfully and wonderfully made” means God created them with unique skills and gifts, and He has written incredible plans into the stories of their lives. Their life is intricately woven into God’s overarching narrative. Discouragement and dismay fade into the brilliant light of His plans as they gain godly confidence to live for His kingdom.
For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord
I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord
They are plans for good and not for harm
Plans to give you hope and a future
I will light your way and see you through
I have great plans for you
So be confident in the work I’ve started in you
You can put your trust in the author of your story
Know that I have great things for you
We can use the power of music to hide God’s Word in our children’s hearts as we raise a generation delighting in and devoted to truth. May the soundtracks of their childhoods carry the crescendo of the gospel message and communicate the depth of God’s love and breadth of His peace.
