For the Wages of Sin is Death
A Bible Song
This minor key song is not a happy-happy melody such as we associate with children's Sunday School music. However, it is an engaging melody, and as a child, I loved minor songs (and still do).
Don't be afraid or shy to introduce this Bible verse to children. There is a promise attached to it:
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

The question of sin
Too many of us are afraid to use the word "sin..." we want to LOVE unbelievers into the kingdom. But if people don't understand that there is a dangerous shortcoming on their part, a total inability to please God, then they won't understand why they need a SAVIOUR.
It isn't enough to know that Jesus wants to be your friend.
Unbelievers need to know that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for their sins and the sins of all humankind, and rose again from the dead, and has gained for them eternal life. In the moment they believe this, they are given that eternal life! (And so many other gifts as well: the imputed righteousness of Christ, justification, sanctification, they are sealed with the Holy Spirit, and given the indwelling Holy Spirit. All these things, and more.)
The piano arrangement
A minor key is appropriate for the message of this Bible verse... it is a sobering thought that, left in our sins, only death awaits us. The first death, and the second death. "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." Revelation 20:14
But for those who have believed on God's Son, Jesus Christ, that He paid for our sin and gave to us eternal life, "on such the second death has no power..." Revelation 20:6.
