    1. Awesome! He sang “I stand alone….on the word of God, the B I B L E….”
      I learned it as a kid this way: I stand upon, the word of God, the B I B L E…”
      He added two beats and a weird ass chord to be even more separated.

      1. I’d always sung the alone version, which I believe to be a sola scriptura assertion, not a seperation one, but there probably are fundies who prefer the idea of being individually seperated from even their own church members! 😉

        1. Interesting! Yes, I always sang “I stand along on the Word of God”, but I too never thought of it as separation but rather that my faith is based ONLY on God’s Word.

        2. I’m with PW and RM and I probably predate you all so THAT’S THE WAY IT IS!!! In a kind and loving way… :mrgreen:

  1. I remember this one! Sang it often. A fun song.

    Variation: the last “bubbling” in the song was repeated as many times as possible without taking a breath…..

    “Its bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling, bubbling day and night”.

    happy, happy, joy, joy 😉

    I wonder if this singer is trying to archive it for the Smithsonian or great-grandkids-to-be.

  2. I learned this song when I started teaching a Fundy Sunday school with a friend of mine. I was SO confused by the lyrics, as I assume the kids were, too, if they ever though about them. I think we sang it just because the kids liked to say “bubbling.” “Miss Jenni, can we sing the ‘bubbly bubbly’ song?”

  3. Funny, but I learned this song at a decidedly-non-IFB church’s VBS. It was a Charismatic church and it was a little more “upbeat” probably. I failed to understand what on earth it meant and would usually sing it with a cohort:
    It’s a nibblin’
    It’s a nibblin’
    It’s a nibblin’ at my soul

  4. LOL, the pix on the mantlepiece behind him are by the late Carl Bloch, a well-known Catholic artist. Looks like they came straight out of my old Confraternity of Christian Doctrine B-I-B-L-E. My grade-school nuns would be proud.
