Out Of the Mouths Of Children, Judy Rogers

When our children were little I wanted great children's music for car journeys. It just had to be wholesome, encouraging, scripturally-based, melodic (not raucous or clamorous) and memorable. Judy Roger's songs (most) fit the bill wonderfully! I just played this for them after many years of not hearing it, and they all crowded around and started to sing along. It brought back such joyous memories of those rides for groceries and music lessons. Judy Roger's music engages the hearts of young and older alike.

Christ Jesus is exalted in this engaging music.
From the lips of the little ones, God has ordained His praise!


Oh, Mothers of young children, I bow before you in reverence. Your work is most
holy. You are fashioning the destinies of immortal souls. The powers folded up in the little ones that you hushed to sleep in your bosoms last night, are powers that shall exist forever. You are preparing them for their immortal destiny and
influence. Be faithful. Take up your sacred burden reverently. Be sure that your
life is sweet and clean. - JR Miller



Lyrics:

Out of the mouths of children and tiny nursing babes

From the lips of the little ones, God has ordained His praise!
He has ordained His praise because of His enemies
Lord, give our children a heart to know You
Let their song silence the foe!

Oh, Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
When I consider your heavens…the work of Your hands, what is man that you care for him?
You made man a little lower than the angels
Put all things under his feet
Made him ruler over all of Your creation
His children Your foes to defeat

Out of the mouths of children and tiny nursing babes
From the lips of the little ones, God has ordained His praise!
He has ordained His praise because of His enemies
Lord, give our children a heart to know You
Let their song silence the foe!

When children came to Jesus, shouting "Hosanna!" and bringing their praise…Hosanna!
The priests indignantly tried to send them away, but Jesus said, "Have you not read?"

Out of the mouths of children and tiny nursing babes
From the lips of the little ones, God has ordained His praise!
He has ordained His praise because of His enemies
Lord, give our children a heart to know You
Let their song silence the foe!
Lord, give our children a heart to know You
Let their song silence the foe!

"Hosanna, Hosanna, our praises we bring to Jesus, our Prophet, our priest and our King!"

Supporting Scriptures:
"But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple area, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant.
“Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.“Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read,“‘From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise’?”
Matthew 21:15-16
----------
"From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise
because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. Psalm 8:2-5
----------
"O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!" Psalm 8:9
----------

"My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man’s whole body.

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.

Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm.

Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil." Proverbs 4:20-27
