Singing Groceries

Reilly is learning many Bible verses and many Scripture songs to go with them. This morning when I took him to school, I heard him humming the tune of “I Will Sing of the Mercies of the Lord Forever.” Just reading that line will put the tune in your head for hours to come. Get your ipod out — or you will be singing forever. So, I decided to sing with him and I added the words. Immediately, I was corrected by my young Bible & music hound who said, “No Dad, it’s not like that — I will sing of the groceries of the Lord forever.” So, we sang the song about Heaven’s groceries. I don’t know — does this count as a real Veggie Tales song or not?

He really wasn’t too far off. We find this verse in Psalm 89:1. The word mercies can be rendered as loving-kindnesses or steadfast love. And, is not our food that comes day by day and week by week an example of steadfast love? SO, sing of the groceries of the Lord and be glad for five-year-olds who catch the Hebrew worldview!
