With understandable texts, singable melodies, and interesting accompaniments, these songs will help each child develop his or her natural singing skills, increase in musical knowledge, and grow spiritually.

The theme, Be Strong in the Lord, is founded on Ephesians 6:10. Songs and musical activities reinforce the scriptural truths of having courage, being patient, enduring hardships without giving up, loving God and others, and experiencing God’s grace.

This curriculum package includes two CDs with demonstration and accompaniment recordings, abundant teaching materials, and colorful visuals.

*NARRATOR: So one day, Jesus gave a sermon on a mountain. He told stories that people could relate to, but they really had deeper meanings. We call these stories parables. He finished this whole sermon by telling this parable about the wise and foolish builders. Jesus said, “Everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who builds his house on sand . . . it fell with a great crash.”

° Stanza 1—Snap high to the right and low to the left on the offbeat (beats 2 and 4).

° Stanza 2—Turn your body slightly to the right, and step right, touch left, step right, touch left. Make a scooping or digging motion with hands as you step. Repeat the other direction.

° OO Interlude—Sway back and forth, moving hands, palms down, side to side at waist level.

° Stanza 3—Pat legs twice, touch left shoulder with right then right shoulder with left hand. Repeat.

° Last measure—Raise and freeze jazz hands.

• Have the children do the Building on a Solid Foundation Sound Story from the activity.

• Echo speak measures 9-12 and 13-16 in like manner.

• Echo sing each phrase, using crisp, clear pronunciation of consonants and open vowels.

that Jesus taught and needs to be understood.

• Play Demo # through measure 16, and have children sing while snapping on the offbeat.

• Echo sing to correct problems with melody, rhythm, or text.

• Play Demo # through measure 16 as all sing.

• Ask someone to explain why building on the rock is important. (The rock is referring to the truths that Jesus taught. The house being built refers to our lives. If we build our lives on the Word of God and the truths that Jesus taught, we will be able to make it through the worst times and the best times.)

• Have volunteers read Psalm 18:2, Psalm 95:1, Ephesians 2:19-20. Ask someone to explain who is being referred to as the Rock in these verses. (God/Jesus)

• Play Demo # through measure 16 as all sing.

3. Teach Stanza 2.• Play Demo #. Have children sing Stanza 1 by looking at key words on the

board as they snap on the offbeat. Lead them to do the movements from Step 1 on Stanza 2 and 3.


• Ask children to look at Stanza 2 and tell how it is different from Stanza 1. (About the foolish builder, some rhythms are different because of text, answer to the question is Yes! instead of No!, foolish man is not smart.)

• Echo speak, then sing measures 17-20 and 26-28.

• Play Demo # through measure 28. Have the children sing Stanzas 1 and 2, looking at their Student Pages.

• Ask children to place their Student Pages on the floor beneath their chairs and try to sing Stanzas 1 and 2 by using the key words only.

• Play Demo # again, and have children sing Stanzas 1 and 2 then listen to Stanza 3 as they perform movements for all three stanzas.

4. Teach Stanza 3.• Distribute Student Pages.

• Ask a volunteer to sing Stanza 3 as the pianist plays the melody. Thank the volunteer then echo sing any problem spots.

• Have everyone sing Stanza 3 as the pianist plays the melody.

• Play a singing game.

° Hand a rock to a child.

° You sing Phrase 1 of Stanza 3, then the child with the rock sings the next phrase.

° The child with the rock hands it to another child. You sing Phrase 1, the first child sings Phrase 2, and the child holding the rock sings Phrase 3.



° Continue through measures 53.

Teaching TipDivide phrases in Stanza 3 as follows: 1) Because I’m wise, 2) I can learn from these guys, 3) Because I’m wise, 4) it should come as no surprise, 5) that when the problems come, 6) and I hit a new low, 7) and I’m knocked down, 8) what do you suppose?

• Echo sing measures 56-57 on solfège syllables then text, pointing to Solfège Stones.

& ‰ jœlaI

œ œ œ œ œ œ œsolbuilt

5. Teach the OO Interlude.• Write on a white board or display key words for all three stanzas.

• Do Crazy Hands Energizer to warm up.


• Call attention to the OO Interlude at measure 29. Sing the melody in measures 29-30 for the children as they look at their music.

• Tell children that you sang the melody in measures 29-30, and ask them to count how many times that exact pattern occurs. (Six)

• Echo sing measures 41-43 twice. Then lead children to sing the OO Interlude as the pianist plays the melody.



OptionTeach three children to play the OO Interlude on hand chimes. Assign G and A to one child, B and Bb to another, and C to another. Have these children play as other children sing softly during the narration or have hand chimes play without any singing during the narration.

6. Polish.• Display Consonants Visual. Have children speak the words several times in

the following manner:

° Speak the unvoiced column of words then the voiced column of words slowly and precisely.

° Repeat, speaking the words more quickly.

° Speak an unvoiced consonant word then its coordinating voiced consonant word, an unvoiced consonant word then its coordinating voiced consonant word, and so forth, very quickly all the way down the chart.

• Lead children to sing ’Cause building on the rock is smart (meas. 15-16), ’Cause building on the sand is not smart (meas. 27-28), and I built on the rock, and that’s smart (meas. 56-57) as you point to sol and do. Sing these phrases again as all perform body scale positions.

William Williams (1717-1791) William Williams has been called “the sweet singer of Wales.” For forty-three years he traveled thousands of miles on horseback, preaching and singing the gospel. Williams was a powerful preacher who wrote over 800 hymns. “Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah” has been translated into over 70 languages. Williams never left his beloved Wales, but his hymn has influenced followers of Christ all over the world.

John Hughes (1873-1932) John Hughes was born in Wales. By age 12, he worked as a “door boy” in the coal mines, spending long hours opening and closing doors for miners. Hughes eventually worked his way up to clerk for a mine in Rhondda Valley. He was a member of Salem Baptist Chapel, where he was a deacon and song leader. Hughes composed the hymn tune CWM RHONDDA, (pronounced koom rrhawn-tha) for a singing festival. CWM RHONDDA means Rhondda Valley, which was a mining valley in Wales.
