The Bible Song Crafts and Activities (The B-I-B-L-E Song)
In case you’re not familiar with The B-I-B-L-E Song, the lyrics are short and catchy.
Here are the lyrics to The Bible Song:
The B-I-B-L-E
Yes, that’s the book for me.
I stand alone on the Word of God,
The B-I-B-L-E
There are some versions that have more lyrics, but most versions just repeat these lines over and over. It’s super catchy!
Here is a super cute video of The B-I-B-L-E Song featuring a darling little robot (it made one of my teenagers say, “You go, little funky Jesus robot!”):
If you are Catholic and have issues with the lyrics:
While I think kids will just hear the line of “I stand alone on the Word of God” in a way of “Hey – God’s word is awesome and what I should follow” – I know that some Catholics are concerned about it sounding like Sola Scriptura. If that is a concern of yours, you could consider teaching it to your kids with a line like “I love to hear it read at Mass” instead of “I stand alone on the Word of God.” Easy peasy fix, if that’s a concern for you.
