Sing the Word: The Heavens Declare
The Heavens Declare
Although it was designed for ages 9 and up because the Scripture passages are more complex, The Heavens Declare will appeal to even younger children.
This is their most "upbeat" collection. The recording is framed by two beloved Psalms set to exhilarating music like the Spanish Flamenco guitar rhythms on Psalm 19.
Intense orchestral tom-toms and brass is utilized with "Slow To Anger" to draw a picture of anger in sound. And to illustrate that this highly-charged emotion must always be under control.
A guest baritone, Derrick Smith, performs a soulful "Bring The Tithe." In total, there are 12 powerful Scripture memory songs. Instrumental-only tracks for memory practice and performance are included. Recommended for ages 9 and up.
About the Sing The Word Series:
Most Christian children's music seems trivial at best and all too frequently become unbiblical in an effort at simplicity. The music can range from tedious to obnoxious, and even if the humor was funny once, it quickly becomes exasperating as it is repeated over and over during the day.
Thankfully, the Sing The Word Series is very different. Sung by and for children, the words you'll hear are taken directly from the scriptures. The music itself encompasses various musical styles and is neither tedious nor grating.
After listening, we were surprised to find ourselves singing the verses around the house, complete with the correct references. For a family with chronic poor memory, this was notable!
Perhaps this was because the words are repeated several times in each song. Or maybe it is because the children's voices are so pleasing to listen to, and the tunes are catchy and easy to sing.
Sing The Word Series is Produced by a musically enterprising couple and their clutch of young children. The Harrows found that their musical sophistication grew with their children. So expect more complex scriptural content and great musical variety (a Baroque string orchestra, a rhythmically intense Salsa band, an Irish jig...) throughout the series.
The Bible versions vary too, including NIV, KJV, NKJV, RSV, and NAS.
