We set apart a few minutes tonight to do a family devotion with our little ones. While we lit the candles in our Easter Garden Basket, we reminded ourselves that today, on Good Friday, Jesus died on the cross and was buried in a tomb. Then we sang a few simple songs, and the voice of a little angel was heard singing in our family worship time. I saw daddy smile, surprised to see that Noah learned Nothing But the Blood of Jesus, a song I have been singing with Noah over the past few weeks. I am sharing our worship set for the night because it worked quite well for a short Easter family devo.
I hope you too can make some time this weekend to do family devotions! No matter how simple they are, it will be rewarding, and it will turn your children’s hearts toward the true meaning of Easter.
Jesus Saved Me
(Tune: Jesus Loves Me)Jesus saved me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Nailed to the cross for my own sins,
died, and buried, and raised again!
Yes, Jesus saved me!
Yes, Jesus saved me
Yes, Jesus saved me
He saved me from my sins
Nothing But the blood of Jesus
(a timeless hymn)
What can wash away my sins?
Nothing but the Blood of Jesus
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again
Oh, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
At the Cross
(a timeless hymn)
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light
and the burden of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day!
Which led nicely into this……(you might recognize from Sister Act)
Oh Happy Day
Oh happy day (echo)
Oh happy day (echo)
When Jesus washed (echo)
When Jesus washed (echo)
He washed my sins away (Oh happy day)
Oh happy day (echo)
