10 Worship Songs for Baby and Child Dedication Services

Baby dedication services are a big step for many parents and even difficult for some to give their child to the Lord. Because it is such a monumental decision by the parents, the music played and sung during the service needs to be songs that help parents embrace and remember the very special day and moment they presented their precious child to the Lord.

As 1 Samuel 1:28 describes Hannah’s prayer of dedication, “'So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord.’ And he worshiped the Lord there.”

At such a momentous occasion in the life of parents, we want to encourage, uplift, and celebrate a baby or child’s dedication to the Lord with them and their families by choosing songs that recognize their hearts and inspire them to teach their child about Jesus and the Salvation He freely offers. The following are ten worship songs for a baby or child dedication service.

The Lord bless you
And keep you

Make His face shine upon you
And be gracious to you

The Lord turn His
Face toward you

And give you peace
The Lord bless you
And keep you
Make His face shine upon you
And be gracious to you

Sometimes parents are pushed by family members to dedicate their children. As a reluctant mom and dad who aren’t really sure about dedicating their baby, they need godly support and encouragement that they are taking the right step in their child’s life. This is a worship song to help calm their fears and hesitations, focusing on God’s desire and ability to bless their child’s life. Find The Blessing at Worship House Media.

All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give

In His presence daily live

I surrender all
I surrender all
All to Thee my blessed Savior
I surrender all

Before the Lion and the Lamb
Every knee will bow
Before Him

He is jealous for me
 Love’s like a hurricane
 I am a tree
 
 Bending beneath the weight of
 His wind and mercy
 
 When all of a sudden
 I am unaware of these
 Afflictions eclipsed by glory
 
 And I realize just how beautiful you are
 And how great Your affections are for me
 
 Oh, how He loves us, oh
 Oh, how He loves us
 How He loves us, oh

The wonders of Your mighty love

Never cease to worship You

All the earth let us sing

Mountains bow down
And the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name

I sing for joy
At the work of Your hands

Forever I'll love You
Forever I'll stand
