Southern Gospel for Kids

Southern Gospel for Kids August 4, 2011

David Bruce Murray recently noted a case where a popular group outside of southern gospel (Denver and the Mile High) included a southern gospel song (Brian Free & Assurance’s “Prayin’ Man”) on a record targeted to kids. It got me to thinking about a playlist I’ve collected in iTunes of southern gospel songs that may not have been written specifically with kids in mind, yet would be perfect for that kindergarten to elementary school age bracket. Many southern gospel songs retell Bible stories or quote directly from Scripture. It can be a fun and engaging way for young kids to learn about the Word. Here are some of the songs in my list:

Glory to God in the Highest (Signature Sound)
Noah Found Grace (Statler Brothers)
Hey Jonah (Triumphant Quartet)
I Won’t Look At the Lions (Ernie Haase solo)
New Shoes (Booth Brothers)
Bottom of the Barrel (Collingsworth Family)
God Delivers Again (Cathedrals/Signature Sound)
Never Give Up, Never Give In (Signature Sound)
Can you come up with more young-kid-friendly SG Scripture songs, or just young-kid-friendly SG songs, period?
