School Song

Dave wrote us a school song the first month we started homeschooling. It states some of our reasons for homeschooling and some of our goals that we're shooting for. The first few years, we'd start school with our song (which we found sign language motions for) as our opening prayer and the Pledge of Allegience. The girls learned the song really well that way. However, school is a little less structured now-a-days and Dave gets frustrated that the boys don't know it very well.



The tune he used is "The Servant Song" by Richard Gillard. If you want to hear the tune, simply type in "Servant Song" in a search engine.



Highland Dove is the name of our school representing our Scottish heritage and the Holy Spirit's indwelling in our lives.

If the song fits your school, feel free to modify it as needed (e.g., change "Highland Dove" to "Our Homeschool" or the name of your school). Permission granted for personal use only. All rights reserved.

Mother, Father, Sister, Brother
Highland Dove will help us see
Love of learning, hearts are yearning
To be part of God’s family.

Mighty, God, we pray now to you
In our weakness, you are strong
Teach us truth and perseverance
Till all doubt and fear are gone.

Serving Jesus is our purpose.
Lord, our friend, we welcome you.
Teach us service, trust, and virtue
To care for others as you do.

Holy Spirit, breathe upon us.
Teach us gentleness and peace,
Patience, kindness, love for others,
Till all bitterness does cease.

Abba Father, Jesus, Brother
Gentle Spirit, show your love
We dedicate our learning to you
And offer up our Highland Dove. Amen.
