About Scripture Melodies

Composer Melissa Smith:  When my children were very young, I found that they could memorize large passages of scripture when they could sing them.  Over the years, the Lord Jesus has enabled me to compose many simple melodies which our children learned easily.  We are so thankful for the treasure of God’s Word that is hidden in their young hearts! 

The scripture melodies aren’t just for children, though.  We adults often find it more difficult to memorize than we did when we were younger, but we still find ourselves singing those advertising jingles we didn’t even realize we were hearing!  We do learn what we hear and especially what we sing!

With encouragement from my husband Eric, I invested in music software and began publishing the music that has helped us hide the Word in our hearts.  We’ve shared handwritten scores with several families already, and now we’re able to share actual sheet music via the Internet!  We’re thankful for music and technology, but we’re even more thankful for the Word of God!  We pray that this website will help you to learn His Word, to sing to the Lord, and, ultimately, to know God our Father better.

 

Coloring Page Illustrator Allison Sowell:  Allison and I had the privilege of working with a small group of 3-year-olds several years ago.  We wanted to teach them God’s Word, and we knew from our experience with our own children that they could learn long passages—much more than just one or two verses.  I wrote the music, and Allison designed beautiful black-line coloring pages for the children to color at each meeting.  As the children colored, Allison and I talked with them about the pictures, read the scripture to them, and sang the melodies.  They learned 20 verses from Luke 2 in about 6 weeks, meeting just one hour each week!  Allison has given permission to share her coloring pages with you.  I know your children will enjoy them as they color and memorize!

 

Webmaster Eric Smith:  Eric and I have talked for years about the best way to share our scripture music.  He suggested developing a website so that our friends could download the songs and coloring pages they wanted.  I’m much more comfortable with music composition than with website development, and that’s an understatement!  Thankfully, the Lord has given Eric the desire and the ability to develop a site which will enable us to share what God has given to us.  I thank God for my husband who loves me and leads me to walk with the Lord.
