Visual Hymn // And Can It Be That I Should Gain? (Amazing Love)

Here's a new visual of the classic hymn "And Can It Be That I Should Gain" by Charles Wesley. It is complete and ready to print and immediately become a part of your family's spiritual practices by singing and memorization. The PDF includes a visual hymn usage guide, and two versions of the hymn - one with lyrics and one without!

Children as young as one-and-a-half can begin looking at these visuals to remind them of the lyrics. Even before they are literate, they can treasure the words of this beloved song as believers have done for the past 150 years. 

It is designed for use at home with parents and children, but makes a great Sunday school resource for churches or Christian schools. (Also visual adults may find it helpful!)

Here's some tips on how to help little ones learn it: Say "Look at this picture: this little guy is thinking about Jesus who died and shed his blood for us! It makes him sad because he knows his sin caused Jesus pain and sent him to death. Death is this skull. So when we see these pictures, we will sing these words:......." Learn just one verse at a time. Cut apart the hymn so they can just focus on a few images at a time.

"My children (ages 4 & 6) were fascinated by the "mysteriousness" of Christ's sacrifice. It's mind-blowing and worldy wisdom/convention shattering. I always want my children to see it as a beautiful puzzle that we can rejoice over not fully understanding, and imagine someday we can ask God directly what it all means. Our heads will probably explode then too, but in a good way, of course."
