Welcome to the Abraham-related Bible songs for kids! Here are some kid-friendly songs with easy, well-known tunes that will make teaching youngsters about Abraham in Bible class fun and simple.
Abraham had a lot of things going on. He’s the guy who was given the promise that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky. He had two wives and a bunch of kids, and he moved from place to place because God told him to. That’s pretty stressful! And then there are all those songs about Abraham in the Bible. We know you’ve probably heard some of them at church or during a service at your synagogue. But have you ever taken a really close look at what they’re about? Let’s take this opportunity to do so!
Songs About Abraham In The Bible
Genesis 22:1-18: This is one of the most famous Bible stories: God asks Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, his son, who is only 12 years old at the time. And then… well, I don’t want to spoil it for you if this is your first time reading it! But know that it ends with Isaac being spared and everyone living happily ever after (except for maybe Ishmael).
Genesis 12:1-9: This passage tells us how God called Abraham out of Ur in Mesopotamia (which later became modern-day Iraq) and into Canaan (modern-day Israel), where he would eventually settle down.
Songs About Abraham In The Bible
Introduction
God is always faithful to His people. Even when He allows trials and tribulations, there are promises that encourage our souls. Abraham is a man of faith, and God promised him many things. There are so many songs about Abraham in the Bible, but these ten should get you started!
Only Selfless Love – Steven Curtis Chapman
Here’s a song that is all about Abraham, the man of faith and obedience. The lyrics are straightforward and clear: “Only Selfless Love Can Last,” they say. The music is also simple, with an acoustic guitar playing a simple melody over some light percussion. This adds to the sense of peacefulness that comes across in this beautiful song about God’s love for us, even when we make mistakes or don’t correctly understand Him. As you listen to it, sit back and think about how God has always been there for you through everything—even when it seemed like He didn’t love you as much as he should have (which isn’t true).

Blessed Be Your Name – Matt Redman
The song “Blessed Be Your Name” is a worship song and it’s about a lot of things. But it’s particularly about the sovereignty of God, the goodness of God, and the faithfulness of God. The chorus says, “Your name is higher than any other; You are worthy of all praise. In your presence is fullness of joy; At your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
The first verse says that God has shown us his glory: “his glory was revealed and we beheld his glory as if born anew… We were saved by grace through faith where no one deserved it but he gave away his life so we could live… And now what an awesome thought this is: I belong to him who overcame death; He lives within me! My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ bloodstained cross! I have been crucified with Christ therefore I no longer live but Christ lives in me! And now he’s alive in me so let my life be filled with blessings from above! That’s why I’ll praise him every day until my life is through!”

Faith is a great source of inspiration for songwriters. The Bible is full of stories of faith, and it’s no surprise that there are so many songs about Abraham and God.
