We were sent this album to listen to at no cost to us. All thoughts are my own.
If there is one thing that I’ve learned over the years, it’s that our kids can learn just about anything when it is put to music. We were recently introduced to a new album, Psalm Songs Volume 1 from Corner Room Music, and it was immediately a hit with everyone in the family (parents included).
While we desire our kids to understand our faith, there is truly nothing more important to us than having Scripture firmly planted in their hearts. For me personally, there are verses I learned as a child that frequently come to mind and we have seen firsthand how Scripture being sung/played in our home has made a literal difference in attitudes.
Several years ago our youngest was having a ROUGH day. And by rough, I mean screaming, crying, tantrum throwing of epic proportions. I had done about everything I knew to do: ignored, comforted, wanted to cry myself. After two hours I finally left the room for a moment and felt that I should turn some scripture music on. The change was almost immediate. Within a few minutes, he had stopped crying and was running around happily, singing with the music. That made me think of David playing and singing for Saul and how music calmed him and reached him in Saul’s most desperate moments. The same is true for us today!
About Psalm Songs, Volume 1
The Corner Room recently released an album based on ten verses from the book of Psalm. Each song is taken word for word from the ESV version of the Bible and put to music. Putting Scripture to music and having it sound good is hard, and they have done an amazing job making the music relevant and enjoyable not only for children, but for the entire family.
As the Psalms are diverse in their character and intent, so is the musical character of this collection – rock, folk, bluegrass and modern worship are genres you’ll hear on this first volume.
There is truly a little bit of something for everyone on this album, but most importantly, it’s the Word of God being sung over us and being embedded in our minds and hearts. THAT alone means the world.

It is a wonderful way to worship God and to hide His word in our heart.
I love scripture put to songs because it makes it so much easier to hide the word in my son’s heart!
As VBS demonstrates, kids will remember the Scripture when put to music. The Psalms are to be sung! I love that these Psalm songs aren’t done in a very “kiddy” way. They are beautifully done!
Thanks for the giveaway! The music sounds great!
And now I’ll answer the question–hands down, song has been the way I’ve best memorized scripture over the last 30 odd years. I love how it rises unbidden, even when my heart is numb. Those verses in song thaw me out, so to speak.
LOVE that description! I know songs have come to my heart in the still of the night when fear overwhelms me – which shows how it embeds in our hearts for when we need it!
I myself connect best with God via music, so having His word put to music will be very beneficial to me. My son memorizes songs in a flash, so knowing he’s memorizing scripture makes my heart very happy!
Words are so much easier to memorize when put to a melody.
what a great resource for families!
It becomes ingrained and during those moments of difficulty and when I need encouragement the Spirit reminds me of the beautiful melody of the scriptures. :)
It makes it so much easier to memorize! And it soothes my spirit.
Memorizing is really hard for me, and I love how much easier it is when the content is set to music.
I like Scripture set to music because it gets stuck in my head and I find myself humming it without realizing it, then when I think about what I’m hearing, it’s God’s Word speaking truth to me.
I love scripture set to music because it allows me to memorize it effortlessly! I am excited to use these as a tool in our homeschool.
I love that the word is sung over me & my family, especially on difficult days/in difficult times when i don’t have the strength or time to read it over myself
Thank you all for your comments as excitement about this new project! It’s impacted me, my family and my church and our ability to treasure and know God’s Word. Be sure to follow us and like our page on social media for news about upcoming projects:

We love singing along with Scripture! For my auditory kids, it’s a win-win for remembering Bible verses without even really trying. : )
Some of verses I still remember memorizing as a child were put to music. I love that it’s such a powerful way to change your heart and mind in the midst of a problem…start singing!
Helps my kids and I to memorize scripture as we worship. Then when we are struggling in a area someone remembers the scripture and starts singing the song. So helpful when during hard days.
As a family in music ministry we find music a wonderful way to hide God’s word in our hearts! What a wonderful gift! Thank you so ,inch for offering this giveaway!
Thanks for sharing this. We have an amazing Christian radio station in our area and its a must during our school time, all the time actually! I look forward to checking this out! Thanks again :-)
Music aids memorization!
I love how easy it is to memorize scripture put to music.
Wow! Those are amazing songs!!
I’m notorious for getting a song stuck in my head. It may as well be Scripture songs. :)
What a wonderful giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity!
