As a new believer, I was introduced to some kids Bible songs like “Behold, Behold,” “The Lord is My Shepherd,” and “I am the Resurrection and the Life”. Many times I was unaware that I was really singing the words of the Bible. But when once I read the verses in the Bible, I found I already knew them.
Yes, help in memorizing Scripture is one of the main benefits of Bible verse songs. Music locks the words into a rhythm so that this rhythm dictates the next word. Television advertisers have used this for years to get the name of their product into the minds of the public. I can still sing commercials I heard 50 years ago!
However, though poetry is easy to put to music because of its meter, Bible verses are not so written. Ways to do so successfully is the subject of another article. When it is accomplished, however, the meter of the song dictates the next word and locks it in.
Learning Scripture songs also helps us remember the verses. I can recall numerous times when I think of a verse while speaking and can quote it exactly. In my mind, however, I am really singing the verse quickly. The rhythm and accents of the song was the aid to remember it.
I started writing Bible verses to music when I first taught third grade in a Christian school. I was especially challenged as to how to teach the memory verse to the slower students. The answer was music. Singing the verse aided them in both learning and retaining it.
Bible verse songs also provide a means of meditating on the Scripture. As the song runs over and over in my mind, so do the words. The Spirit has thus used this to apply the Bible verse to my life in numerous situations.
A song can actually clarify the mean of a verse. One example is 2 Corinthians 5:21 that contains a misplaced modifier in modern English. It says, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin” The verse is obviously not teaching that we are sinless but that Christ is. Through repetition of the phrases, the song makes this clear.
Bible Songs are also effective means of presenting the Gospel. Several years ago I taught my class all of the verses in the Roman’s Road set to music and then we sang them for a parent assembly. The plan of salvation was presented to the audience in a way that was hard for any unsaved relatives to ignore.
Bible verse songs can help those of us who are aging to retain what we need to know. I find it much easier to forget what I learned now than in the past. But I can still remember a song and thus, music, for me, helps me learn and retain what I am learning.
