Enoch's New Favorite CD

I just bought both volumes of Steve Green's "Hide 'em in your heart" songs, and Enoch LOVES them! The CDs are filled with songs, and each song takes a Bible verse and puts it to music.  A few of the things that I like about these songs are:

  • each song uses only the words from the actual scripture verse, which helps memorize with word-for-word accuracy;
  • there are kids helping to sing and say the verses;
  • the tunes are catchy and not annoying;
  • the verses Steve chose to put to music are all very relevant for children; and,
  • the songs serve as a great way for parents and children to memorize scripture together!
Here's the Amazon link for both of Steve's volumes: Hide 'em in your heart vol. 1 & 2.  I was able to find both volumes used in our town, so that might also be worth looking into if you're interested in buying these CDs.  
And here's the link to his website (he's done much more than just produce children's music!

Here's one of the songs from his collection of children's songs:


And just in case you think Steve Green is a one-trick pony, here's him singing "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" by Martin Luther, which is incredibly hard to sing (you have to listen to the whole thing in order to appreciate it)!!  He does an amazing job, and believe it or not, this is actually a video that Hugh showed me before we even knew about Steve Green (A Might Fortress is one of his favorite hymns), so Hugh thought it was necessary to include this in my Steve Green post.

We have those CD's too, and our kids love them. I also really liked the Mighty Fortress video! He sang it in a manner that matches the meaning of the words. I remember singing it in church growing up, and it always ended up sounding more like a funeral dirge than a victory march.
