Steven Curtis Chapman: Tuesday's Child

Our spiritual Sunday selection comes from the pen of Steven Curtis Champan and it is an adaptation of an old Dorsett, England nursery rhythm “Monday’s Child.” I remember buying this cassette in the early 90s and thinking the song “Tuesday’s Child” was very cleverly written.

The spiritual message is that he wanted to be “Tuesday’s Child,” because that child was the one full of grace. That makes sense to me as we all need grace in our lives. I love songs that tell a story or ones that have a clever twist and this one certainly does.
