Top Kids Easter Songs to Celebrate the Resurrection
Are you looking for a simple way to teach your kids about the true meaning of Easter? Sing songs together about the resurrection of Christ! Music has a powerful ability to shape the mind. These kids worship songs will help you celebrate Jesus’ resurrection with your children in the days leading up to Easter Sunday.
The resurrection of Christ is central to the Christian faith. As Paul says in I Corinthians 15, “And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.”
How do you prepare to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ in your home? At Christmas, we sing carols, decorate our homes, exchange gifts, and have a special family meal. But for Easter? (crickets)
When I think about our family’s Easter traditions, they leave much to be desired. Using music, art, nature, literature, home decorations, food, and traditions, we should be doing more to prepare for this special time of year. I don’t know about you, but I want to change that!
In the same way that we observe the birth of Christ with Advent, let’s create a family culture that celebrates the true Easter story!
