John 3 v. 16 In Song.

John 3  v. 16 In Song.

In Sunday School I had to memorise John 3 verse 16:

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son; that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life”.

I also had to sing  a paraphrase with the other children:

 “Twenty five words in John three sixteen,
No greater text has ever been seen.
Twelve about God and twelve about me.
“Son”, is the centre, of John three sixteen”.

Chorus :

“”That whosoever” surely means me,

Surely means me,

Surely means me,

“That whosoever” surely means me,

Surely means even me!”

We sung it to the same tune as “I am so glad that our Father in Heaven”.

We see two important truths in this verse. On the one hand we see God demonstrating His love to us by giving His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to die  for us on the Cross at Calvary. On  the other hand, we must believe that this is the case. Those who do not believe will perish.
