Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the pedagogical-theological value of the song "Indah Rencanamu Tuhan" (Beautiful Plan, Lord), written by Rev. 1.E. Awondatu and popularized by Priskila and published in 2022. The research method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative analysis technique with a literature review approach. This approach involves searching, analyzing, and describing the pedagogical-theological value of the song, and discussing it with various references. The research results indicate that the song "Indah Rencanamu Tuhan" has the following pedagogical-theological meanings: 1) God has a plan for everyone's life, and that plan is always beautiful and perfect; 2) the importance of accepting God's will, even when it is difficult or does not align with personal expectations; 3) God is always present and cares for His people, even amidst life's difficulties and struggles; and 4) encourages listeners to learn to accept existing situations, even when they are unpleasant or difficult. Pedagogically, this song plays an important role in Christian religious education, as it teaches students to live in surrender, patience, and active hope. Thus, the song "God's Beautiful Plan" is not only an expression of praise, but also a transformative medium in forming a life attitude that surrenders to the Christian Faith Song, God's plan, the meaning of the pedagogical values of faith, surrender.
