The Word

This week was VBS at my church and I've been there helping out every day and just loving it. And one of my absolute favourite parts of VBS is always the singing/songs the kids learn. Talk about catchy little tunes! And it's pretty much an unarguable fact that the adults/leaders love the songs (and doing the actions) just as much as the kids do... if not more. Which is why most of us can still remember the words and actions to VBS songs from years ago, and why I'm certain all of the leaders from this year's specific program will be walking around singing "Wiki-Wiki" for years to come. Though the songs are "kids songs" and may seem like they're just for fun, they're actually much more than that. They are songs that speak of God's truth and His Son and His Word. And these songs stick with these kids, planting seeds about these truths. So I'm going to share a VBS song today! Today's main focus was the Bible, so this song is all about God's Word... and it may be a "kid's song" but the lyrics are ageless:


In the beginning was the Word
And it was with God and was God
Before an eye had seen or ear had heard
There was the Word

I know the Bible is God’s Word
His written promises to earth
It is the lamp unto the feet of those who believe
In His Word

The Word is perfect truth
The Word is what I cling to
Unbreakable, unshakeable Word of God
I love the Word of God

I know the Bible is God’s Word
His written promises to earth
It is the lamp unto the feet of those who believe
In His Word

The Word is perfect truth
The Word is what I cling to
Unbreakable, unshakeable Word of God
I love the Word

Page after page it teaches me
Day after day it speaks to me
And leads me in the ways of righteousness

The Word is perfect truth
The Word is what I cling to
Unbreakable, unshakeable Word of God
I love the Word I love the Word of God
