Sovereign Grace Ministries recently released a new kids music album. To Be Like Jesus includes 12 songs centered around the fruits of the Spirit. The album is inspired by Galatians 5:22-23, “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”I love how this album is rooted in the gospel and continually points back to the cross, and I love hearing my kiddos sing songs with lyrics like this ...
I don’t always do what’s right
Jesus lived a perfect life
And for sins like mine He died
Teach me to obey Your Word
Help me to put others first
Holy Spirit, change my life
From Sovereign Grace ...
The album is filled with songs that proclaim truth rather than express love for God, which many children don’t have yet. We wanted kids to see that God wants us to be joyful, loving, faithful, gentle, etc., because that’s the way he is. We also wanted kids to see that it’s impossible to be joyful, loving, faithful, gentle, etc. apart from believing the gospel and being empowered by God’s Spirit.
You can listen to samples and purchase the album at the Sovereign Grace website or you can buy it on iTunes.

Thanks Sarah for sharing this...I had heard about this but haven't yet had the chance to check it out. Sounds like a great resource for our children. Do you know if they sell it at the resource center at church?
You are very welcome, Lisa!
And yes, I'm pretty sure they already have it at church.
Sounds like a great CD, Sarah, from the samples I listened to. We've been playing our current children's CDs so much that I'm getting a little tired of them. This CD seems like one I would like listening to over and over. Thanks for the recommendation.
Looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks at the family reunion!
Sarah, what a great CD! I listened to the samples, then promptly ordered one for myself and one for Ryan for his birthday. I loved the music and am anxious to get the CD! I'm always looking for good "grandma" resources and this one sounds like a winner :) Thanks for posting it! Anxious to see you on the 8th!
Love, Aunt Deb
