In Deuteronomy 6:5-8, we are also called to hide God's Word in our child's heart:
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads."
I have been wanting to memorize Bible verses with J, but it hasn't been so successful. He didn't find it so fun. Of course, I have forgotten - one of the best ways for children (and adults) to hide the Word of God in our hearts is the sing it. I believed the LORD reminded me of this method last evening.
So now I am very excited to compile a list of Bible memory verse songs to sing with J and will come back to update this post, whenever I found a new song:

Additional Information:
We started with learning the Deuteronomy 6:5 song on 17 September. I sang it together with J, after reading the verse from the children's Bible. I chose this as the first song, as "Love the LORD your God" is the first commandment from God to put God first. J really enjoyed it, and we sang it again and again for a few times. It was fun, and there was no pressure to memorize it. Hopefully as we sing it more, it will stick in our heads and we would have memorized it :-) I started playing these songs in the car on the journey to the kindergarten on 18 September 2014.
Update 21 September 2014
Today Sunday is our rest day. I told J that we will rest and worship God. We sang this song together, and J was able to sing the whole song on his own. He really like all these songs. I thank God for it. May God continue to work in J's heart.
Update 30 October 2014
