His Banner Over Me Is Love
I woke up this morning singing this old song. As I became more awake I remembered the verse that says: "There's one way to peace through the power of the Cross His banner over me is love. There's one way to peace through the power of the Cross His banner over me is love. There's one way to peace through the power of the Cross His banner over me is love. His banner over me is love."

I love this old chorus. We used to sing it quite often in our Christian school.
Not understanding the words to songs is quite common for kids. Do you know the old hymn - REVIVE US AGAIN? Our pastor's daughter thought we were always singing: "DIVIDE US AGAIN"! Pastor would lovingly joke, "Yep, she's a Baptist"!!
When I teach little ones or even teens for that matter, I always analyze each verse and chorus of any song I teach. It is so so very important that our kids know who or what it is they are singing about!
That's funny. When I was four they were having an alter call at our church and they were softly singing "only believe" well I loved to sing and since I thought I knew the song I belted out "Holy wee wee" lol my mother was so embarrassed.
