Liken The Scriptures
Our children may not lead a nation to a promised land or divide a sea in two, but if we can help them learn to have faith in God, they can do great things! This Scripture Song helps children realize the stories of the Bible have a special lesson for them, that they can become more like Jesus as they apply the scripture messages to their lives.
I have 3 different versions of this song; Old Testament, New Testament, and Book of Mormon. The lyrics change for each one, but the melody and piano is the same. If you need the accompaniment track, it will be the same for all 3 versions.
Liken The Scriptures - Old Testament is available in Spanish here

Lyrics
I may not be asked
To build a great big ship
Or sail my family ‘cross the ocean blue
But if I had the faith and courage Nephi did,
Imagine all the great things I could go and do
The Lord has a special message for me
In every scripture story I read
And I can become who I’m striving to be when I
Liken the scriptures to me
I may not raise a tent to hear the prophet speak,
But I can listen when he speaks today
And I don’t have a sword to bury ten feet deep,
But I can cast my selfishness away
Like Enos I will fervently pray
Like the stripling warriors,
I will obey
Like Abish I will share what I know
And like Ammon I’ll go where I’m called to go
When I liken the scriptures to me
