To help you instill the reason we, as Christians, celebrate Easter, I came up with this simple song.

(If you’ve been following along, you may notice this is the same tune I used for my song “Jesus Came at Christmas Time” a few years back. My kids enjoyed it so much, I decided to create this Easter song in a similar manner.)

 

Jesus Chose at Easter Time

Tune: Praise Him, Praise Him (Composer Unknown – Pre 1974)
Song by: S. J. Little

 

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus chose at Easter
To show us that He loves us.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus chose at Easter time.

 

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus died at Easter
To save us from our sins.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus died at Easter time.

 

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus rose at Easter
So we can live with Him.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus rose at Easter time.

 

 

For another super simple Christian Easter song, check out my song: He Rose Again and Lives Today

This Christian Easter song was born out of my desire to have an extremely simple preschool song that captures the heart of Easter.

I value songs that are simple enough for a 3 year old to sing, and hold truth worth hiding in their hearts for the rest of their lives.

Have fun teaching this simple little song to a preschooler in your life!

 

Note these are original words by S. J. Little designed to be sang with the familiar tune of Row Row Row Your Boat.

Tune: Row Row Row Your Boat

Words by: S. J. Little

 

Jesus died for me;

He died upon the cross.

He rose again and lives today,

So I can live with Him.

Jesus, Jesus,

Jesus came at Christmas,

As a tiny baby.

Jesus, Jesus,

Jesus came at Christmas time.

 

Shepherds, shepherds,

Shepherds saw the angels,

And hurried to the stable.

Shepherds, shepherds,

Jesus came at Christmas time.

 

Wise men, wise men,

Wise men saw the star,

And traveled from afar.

Wise men, wise men,

Jesus came at Christmas time.

Here are my branches for you to decorate.

First you put the star on the very top,

Just be careful that my balls don’t drop.

 

Actions:

Little Christmas tree tall and straight – touch finger tips over head to make a pointed tree

Here are my branches for you to decorate – hold arms out from your sides as branches

As a Christian, I believe prayer is valuable and makes a big difference.

In the Bible, God tells us to pray. I have read many stories of times in the Bible and throughout history when God answered someone’s prayer clearly and powerfully. I have seen answered prayer in my own life as well.

However, I’m not here to give you a theology lesson. Rather, I want to share a song with you.

I took the Apostle Paul’s prayer for the Christians in Philippi (Philippians 1:9-11), and adapted it as a simple song that is my prayer for my little one.

Prayer For My Child

Tune: She’ll Be Coming Round The Mountain
