Jesus Loves Me Every Day by Susan Montgomery is a vibrant and engaging songbook designed to teach children about faith through music and movement. Set to the familiar tune of “The Ants Go Marching,” the song's verses highlight different ways Jesus supports and loves us daily. The book offers simple ukulele instructions for those who want to play along, but it also encourages participation through clapping, tapping, and hand gestures. The lyrics emphasize gratitude, joy, and the constant presence of Jesus in our lives, making it a fun and interactive way to enjoy a praise song. Susan Montgomery’s passion for music and faith shines through, inviting children to actively engage with both.
I appreciated the joyful and participatory nature of Jesus Loves Me Every Day. The simple, repetitive structure of the song makes it easy for children to remember and sing along, while the suggested movements keep them actively involved. The pace of the song, guided by the lively rhythm of “The Ants Go Marching,” is upbeat and energetic, which is perfect for a children's worship song. I love how the book blends musical instruction with faith-based themes, encouraging kids to express their love for Jesus with their hands, feet, voices, and hearts. Illustrations are used to explain how to play chords on the Ukulele while the other illustrations add life to the story. The focus on gratitude and joy creates a positive, uplifting message that’s accessible to young readers. Susan Montgomery cares deeply about sharing both music and faith in an enjoyable, hands-on way.
