My list of 50 children's songs for church

Last night after posting pictures of my cards on Facebook, I had some people ask for my list of children's church songs. 

Here's the 50 that I came up with. Some of the recommendations that I was given, I didn't know, so didn't include. I knew these songs, so they made my cut. 

You may know some of these by another name. A few are not really kids songs, but songs I learned as a kid.

  1. Jesus Loves Me
  2. Jesus Loves the Little Children
  3. Oh, How I Love Jesus

I thought I knew about all the children’s songs there were but some of these I don’t recognize! They sound like they have great possibilities though. I would really love to have a link to find the words and then maybe could find a YouTube video to go with it.
