Help!

This summer I ran across this Magic Square idea for teaching the scripture mastery verses. I passed it by because I couldn't make sense of the actions, and I didn't like that the rhymes didn't include the whole reference.

As another scripture mastery "expert" introduced his verse today, one of the girls requested that we make rhymes to help us remember the reference and the key words. My brain has been firing all day, trying to come up with the following chants:

So, I've borrowed some from the original magic square rhymes, but now they have all the verses too. Some of these rhymes are pretty lame, so I'll gladly accept my readers' revisions. Do you think my "update" makes it even more confusing? I'm thinking the hand gestures we're making up will help...
