As I continue my familial campaign to subvert poorly-theologized kids’ songs. . . . This one is in desperate need of a rewrite.
Read your Bible, pray every day, pray every day. Read your Bible, pray every day, and you’ll grow, grow, grow.
Neglect your Bible, forget to pray, forget to pray, forget to pray. Neglect your Bible, forget to pray, and you’ll shrink, shrink, shrink.
Like the sanctification process all depends upon us! I tried a few re-writes and Isaac kept asking for the “grow, grow, grow” part. So I figured I had to include it. How about this:
Read your Bible, pray every day, pray every day, pray every day. Read your Bible, pray every day, and you still need Christ.
Since God chose me and helps me each day, helps me each day, helps me each day. Since God chose me and helps me each day, I will grow, grow, grow.
Since God chose me and helps me each day, helps me each day, helps me each day. Since God chose me and helps me each day, I can’t shrink, shrink, shrink.

Awesome……..I so remember that song.
I agree. Choruses are dumbed down (and sacrifice accuracy) and are written below the level that most kids are capable of understanding. Long-live theologically valuable songs.
You should write a book of re-write compilations.
This made me smile. Excellent rendition. I may print that off and use it in the future for my own children.
Perceptive…I’ve never really given that song too much thought.
