When people make one

  • A milestone birthday

    Turning 50, 75 or 100. The song can tell their life story and thank God for each decade.

  • A child's birthday

    A short, happy song with the child's name and a blessing, for the party or for bedtime. The lullaby style works well for little ones.

  • A blessing from far away

    If you can't be there, send the gift page link in the morning. It holds photos and a message along with the song.

  • Your pastor's birthday

    A gospel song from the congregation can be played during the service or at a fellowship lunch.

Example lyrics

Seventy-Five Years, Lou

Seventy-five years since the farmhouse in Macon,

seventh of nine and the loudest one too,

you taught us the Lord's Prayer and how to make biscuits,

and you still won't tell us the recipe, Lou.

Happy birthday, Grandma, the Lord has been good,

He's kept every promise the way you said He would,

so blow out the candles, we'll sing it again,

may His face shine on you, Lou, amen.

Verses people choose

Scripture to weave into the song

“This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.”

Psalm 118:24 (KJV)

A birthday is a day the Lord has made. Easy to sing as a chorus.

“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”

Psalm 139:14 (KJV)

For a child, or for anyone who needs reminding that they were made with care.

“The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.”

Numbers 6:24-26 (KJV)

The priestly blessing, often spoken as a benediction. It works as a closing blessing for the year ahead.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV)

A favorite for a new year of life, especially for young people.

Questions

Common questions about birthday

What is the Christian version of "Happy Birthday"?

There isn't one official version. Some families sing the usual tune and add a line of blessing, and some pray Numbers 6:24-26 over the birthday person. A personal song with their name and a prayer for the year is another option.

What's a good Christian song for a birthday?

Psalm 118:24, "This is the day which the LORD hath made," has been set to music many times and is easy for a group to sing. For a song about the person, a custom birthday song can use their name and story.

Can I get a gospel happy birthday song?

Yes. Choose the gospel choir style for choir vocals, organ and handclaps, or traditional gospel for a soloist with the choir behind. Tell us if you want it to build to a big finish.

Can the song be for a child?

Yes. Keep the details simple: their name, their age, a favorite thing and a short blessing. The lullaby and Christian pop styles suit children.

Can we play it at church for our pastor's birthday?

Download the MP3 and give it to whoever runs sound before the service so they can test it. Our pastor appreciation page has ideas for gathering memories from members.

Is the song made with AI?

Yes. The lyrics and music are made with AI from your notes. You read and edit the lyrics before the music is made, and you hear the song before you pay.
