I grew up listening to GT and the Halo Express on these weird plastic rectangles. Those little ditties had some staying power, and I have been grateful all my life for the way they implanted the Word in my brain. But I hesitated to pick them up for our kids because the Scripture memory songs are interspliced with narrative featuring goofy angels and Evangelical piety. I recently found that CPH has solved the problem for me with the Learn By Heart Bible Songs CD ($9.99) and Songbook (on sale for $14!). We've added it to our bedtime music repertoire. There are lots of good verses on there (including many of my GT favorites), and every song includes the reference. The singing is of the "Maranatha genetically-spliced" variety, which wears on the brain, but that's my only complaint. This would be a good resource for Sunday School or VBS, too.

hey, I'm going to buy this for the 2yo at Christmas. Thanks!
Last year for Christmas I asked my parents to send it and Sing the Faith (the Small Catechism set to music) for the kids. I think they've also used tracks from both CDs on the Growing in the Faith (or Growing the Faith?) Sunday school CD.
We got ours on iTunes. It's great!
ESV?
OH MY GOODNESS! I grew up on GT and the Halo Express too!! :) I always find myself humming along to verses during the readings at church or my daily devotions. My parents got us the Learn by Heart CD for my daughter and I am happy that someone capitalized on such a great idea! :)
Growing in Christ has music CD's that go along with the Sunday school lessons. My kids listen to them every morning during breakfast and learn all kinds of good stuff. The music is good not like some kid music that is too annoying and they will never hear again.
Yes, ESV. :)
