Scripture Praise Party (1987)

Praise Party 3 proved two things to Ishmael, the first was that children knew very little scripture and the second was that music was a great means to memorise it. It pioneered yet another development in children’s music, which many have successfully picked up and continued today that is the ‘Scripture Song Album’. Every song on this album is taken more or less directly from the Bible and many of the songs actually contain the book, chapter and verse it comes from as well. It was also at this stage that crazy actions and dances were ‘invented’ to accompany the songs which again would help children retain the scripture. ‘Jehovah Jireh’ was a classic example of this as it was accompanied by the sand dance. But even in a simple scripture song album Ishmael had to attempt the unthinkable…surely no one would dare to write a song around the scripture ‘A Nagging Wife Is Like A Dripping Tap’ yep, he did! In today’s world of political correctness he would be strung up for even thinking such a thing, but the song must be heard before judgment can be passed. This is a fun way of learning the Bible, and remember, its not just children that need to learn Bible verses.
