Father Abraham - Songs from the Old Testament (Volume 1 Number 1)

GOOD, GOOD, GOOD, GOOD
Genesis 2:15

On day one God made earth
Then he made the heavens
Then he said Let There be light
and that made night and day
On day two God made space
to separate the waters
That made sky and oceans wide
On the second day

Good, good, good, good
He saw that it was very good
Good, good, good, good
God saw that it was good

On day three God made land
Fruits and plants and trees
On day four He made the stars
and the moon and sun
On day five He made fish
and the warbling birdies
So the skies were filled with song
and day five was done

CHORUS
On day six God made cows
Bears and mice and monkeys
Animals of every kind
Creatures great and small
He made man and woman too
Then his work was finished
So on day seven God leaned back
and this is what he saw

CHORUS

THIS IS THE DAY
Psalm 118:24

This is the day
This is the day
That he Lord has made
That the Lord has made
I will rejoice
I will rejoice
And be glad in it
And be glad in it
This is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day
This is the day
That the Lord has made

This is the second that the Lord has made
This is the minute that the Lord has made
This is the hour, full of his power
This is the moment
Oh, don't you know that...

This is the Monday that the Lord has made
This is the Tuesday that the Lord has made
This is the Wednesday, The Thursday, The Friday
Saturday and Sunday
He made every day!

DON'T EAT FROM THE TREE
Deuteronomy 6:3

God told Eve don't eat from the tree
of the knowledge of good and evil
God said you can eat what you please
But not from that tree
Please listen to me

Adam and Eve were in the garden of Eden
Enjoying all God had made
There were all kinds of good things for eating
Life was really great
God provided everything
Then gave one small direction
Have fruit from any tree you want
with this one exception

Along came a sneaky snake
and said the apple on that tree looks yummy
Wouldn't you like a taste
It would feel so good in your tummy
But,

Eve took a bite and then she gave some to Adam
and he took a big bite too
Then they heard God walking in the garden
Calling where are you
Eve and Adam ran and hid
'Cause they were so ashamed
When you know what God wants from you
It's better to obey

and God had said don't eat from the tree
of the knowledge of good and evil
But they did so Adam and Eve
Soon had to leave
the beautiful garden of Eden

THEY MISSED THE BOAT
(the rhinopottamus song)
Genesis 6:22

The Lord told Noah
Better build a great big boat
Then wait for two of every creature
that won't float
Some of the animals ran and hid
Have you ever seen a Unacornipig?
Well you won't
'Cause they missed the boat

The thunder rumbled
and lightning clapped in the sky
Then came the animals
two of every kind
They came from dawn to dusk
But have you ever seen a rhinopottamus?
Well you won't
'Cause they missed the boat

The rain came down
for forty days and nights
Then Noah looked around and the land
was out of sight
He did the best any man could do
But have you ever seen an Armadillgaroo?
Well you won't
'Cause they missed the boat
Have you ever seen a bobby goat?
Have you ever seen a Katydon't?
Well you won't
'Cause they missed the boat

RISE AND SHINE
1 Chronicles 16:23 & 24

Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory
Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory
Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory
Children of the Lord

The Lord told Noah, "There's gonna be a floody, floody"
Lord told Noah, " There's gonna be a floody, floody"
Get those animals out of the muddy, muddy
Children of the Lord

The Lords told Noah to build him an arky, arky
Lord told Noah to build him an arky, arky
Build it out of gopher barky, barky
Children of the Lord

The animals, the animals they came in twosies, twosies
The animals, the animals they came in twosies, twosies
Elephants and kangaroosies, roosies
Children of the Lord

It rained and poured for forty daysies, daysies
Rained and poured for forty daysies, daysies
Almost drove those animals crazy, crazy
Children of the Lord

The sun came out and dried up the landy, landy
Sun came out and dried up the landy, landy
Everything was fine and dandy, dandy
Children of the Lord

Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory
Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory
Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory
Children of the Lord

BABEL, BABEL, BABEL, BABEL
1 Peter 4:19

At first the whole world spoke one language
Everybody used the same words
The people said let's build a great city
With a tower that looks down on the birds
The Lord saw what the people were doing
and he said I don't agree with this plan
He threw them a curve
and then all they heard
were words they didn't understand

Babel, Babel, Babel, Babel
What didja say?
Could you repeat yourself please?
Babel, Babel, Babel, Babel
What didja say?
It all sounds like Greek to me
Babel, Babel, Babel, Babel
Huh ? What?!
Confusion everywhere
Sounds like a bunch of rabble
took a game of Scrabble
and through the letters up in the air

Have you got a tower you're building
Made out of boxes and jelly jars?
Or a rocket made of noodles and oatmeal
for a trip that you are planning to Mars?
Allow me please to make one suggestion
Make sure that you run it by God
'Cause when he approves
Then you can't lose
and soon it will be more than talk

GOD SPECIALIZES IN SURPRISES
Isaiah 55:8

God appeared to Abraham at 99
and said your wife will have a son
Sarah laughed and thought that's crazy
I'm an old lady
But pretty soon she was a mom
'cause nothing's too hard for the Lord
and you never know
what he's got in store

God specializes in surprises
You never know what he's gonna do
You gotta believe
'cause he knows what you need
and he's got some good surprises for you

You might have a dream that seems impossible
and you don't even have a plan
The father of creation
made your imagination
Everything is in his hands
So when things get a little rough
Keep on smiling
and don't give up

You gotta believe
'cause he knows what you need
and he's got some good surprises
You may not realize it
but he's got some good surprise for you

FATHER ABRAHAM
Genesis 12:2-3

Father Abraham had many kids
Many kids had Father Abraham
I am one of them and so are you
So let's all praise the Lord!
(shouted) Jump Up!

Repeat Verse and add one new shouted phrase each time

Right arm!
Left arm!
Right leg!
Left leg!
Turn around!
Sit down!

Genesis 37:3

Did Joe's coat have green like the new grass that grows?
Did Joe's coat have white like flecks of falling snow?
Did Joe's coat have pink like a fluffy kitten's nose?
Did Joseph have a coat of green, and white, and pink?

Did Joe's coat have orange like a carrot on your plate?
Did Joe's coat have purple like juice from a grape?
Did Joe's coat have yellow like a daisy chain?
Did Joseph have a coat of orange and purple and yellow and green and white and pink?

Did Joe's coat have blue like the great big sky above?
Did Joseph have a coat of red and brown and blue and orange
and purple and yellow and green and white and pink?

GIDEON I'M NOT KIDEON
Judges 6:11-15

An angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon
and said the Lord is with you
Go and save the people of Israel
and I will be with you
Gideon asked are you sure you want me?
I am the least in my family

Gideon, Gideon
I'm not kideon
You're the one I want for the job
Gideon, Gideon
Listen once again
This is the word of God

Jesus needs some helpers in the world today
Listening and learning
If you look you'll find so many ways
You can love by serving
If you think you're too short or too small or too thin
Remember what God told Gideon

YES!
1 Samuel 3:1-10

Samuel was sleeping Sleeping in his bed
Then a voice called out to him Samuel it said
Samuel ran to Eli and asked what do you need?
Eli said I didn't call you
Sam go back to sleep (snore)

Samuel was sleeping Sleeping in his bed
The voice called out a second time Samuel it said
Samuel ran to Eli and asked what do you need?

Sam go back to sleep (snore)

Oh, the Lord called once
The Lord called twice

Eli finally realized who was calling Sam
Sam he said
This is great
You go back to bed and wait
Next time God calls out your name
You just answer yes
Yes! Yes, yes! You just answer Yes, yes, yes!
Yes! Yes, yes! You just answer Yes!

Samuel was sleeping Sleeping in his bed
The voice called out a fourth time Samuel it said
Samuel answered quickly, Yes Lord it is I
and kept saying yes to God
all throughout his life

Samuel answered Yes!

NO MATTER HOW LITTLE YOU ARE
(YOU CAN DO BIG THINGS WITH GOD)
Philippians 4:13

Goliath was a giant
Nine feet tall from toe to ear
He wore a big bronze helmet
and he waved a pointy spear
David was a young boy

with a slingshot and some stones
Though he had a mammoth problem
He knew he was not alone

No matter how little you are
You can do big things with God
No matter how little you are
You can do big things with God

Goliath stomped and shouted
I'll defeat this boy he roared
He looked big to all the people
But small in the eyes of the Lord
The shepherd boy stood ready
When he might have turned and fled
As Goliath moved in closer
A voice inside David said

One pebble dropped Goliath
When he fell it made a thud
After being such a bully
He turned out to be a dud

So David beat that giant
and you'll beat your problem too
As long as you remember
God is always there with you

SOL, SOL THE KNOW-IT-ALL
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14

King Solomon ruled Israel and wanted to serve God
So the Lord came to him in a dream and said What Do You Want?
Then Solomon asked God to make him smartest in the land
And then there wasn't anything he did not understand

Oh Sol, Sol the know-it-all
Wisest man in Israel
He was smart but he took a fall
Sol, Sol the know-it-all

Sol made some great decisions and people were amazed
He wrote the Proverbs proving that he was a man of brains
He built God a holy temple in Jerusalem
Got too big for his britches and it cost him in the end

Well you may know a lot of things and have a lot of stuff
But if you don't obey the Lord it still won't be enough
So read the words of Solomon and do the things he said
But keep your eyes on God so you don't do the things he did

SHADRACH, MESHACH, ABEDNEGO
Daniel 3:13-30

The king of Babylon built a God that was false
He told the people bow down and worship it or else
Three men wouldn't do it
The king just blew his top
He threw them in the furnace and then turned it up real hot

Shadrach, Meshach, Shadrach, Meshach
Abednego, Abednego
Shadrach, Meshach, Shadrach, Meshach
Abedngo, Abednego
When things got warm
They stood by the Lord
So the king would know about the true God of heaven

God saw there was trouble and sent an angel down
Protected in the fire the men all walked around
The king said who they worship
must really be the Lord
'Cause there were only three at first and now I'm counting four

MEOW MEOW
Daniel 6:13-23

King Darius
King Darius
Made a rule that was quite nefarious
For thirty days
No one could pray
to any one but him
Daniel went to pray
to God that same day
Not worried that he might be spied on
Because of his decree
The king said woe is me
I have to throw Daniel to the lions

Meow meow
God sent his angel down
to make the lions pussycats
Meow meow
Daniel was purrfectly fine
He didn't have a scratch

King Darius
King Darius
In the morning was quite hystericas
He hurried down
and calling out
said Dan are you OK?
Daniel said I'm great
The lions never ate
Not even one bite from head to sandal
The king was most relived
and made a new decree
That all would now seek the God of Daniel

INDIGESTIBLE JONAH
Jonah 1,2,-3:3

Jonah was afraid to do what God said
So he got into a boat and sailed away instead
The ship started rockin' caught up in a storm
and Jonah wound up getting tossed overboard
adrift in the ocean, he bobbed like a cork
Then along came a whale about the size of New York
Who swallowed him up 'cause he looked so yummy to eat

Indigestible Jonah Indigestible Jonah
Learned what mercy was about when the whale spit him out
and went to do the will of the Lord

For three days and nights Jonah prayed to the Lord
He'd never been in a fish's belly before
He said it's cold and it's smelly, it's dark and it's wet
and I made you some promises I'll never forget
The whale grew so tired of his talkative snack
He came out of the water and threw Jonah back
Then he dried himself off and he started preaching God's word

GOD IS THE FOUNDATION
Matthew 7:24

If you want to build a house you start from the ground up
You'll need some wood and concrete
Hammers, nails, and stuff
But if you want to build a life a hammer just won't do
You'll need a strong foundation
and it starts with you know who

God is the foundation
God is the foundation
God is the foundation
when you build the house of life
God is the foundation
The expert on creation
God is the foundation
when you build the house of life

To build a life without the Lord is like a house of twigs
One stiff wind will blow it down
Remember those three pigs
But a life that's built on God will stand the strongest breeze
Your life will be eternal
If you build it on your knees

EVERY MORNING IS A NEW CHANCE

To share the love of the Lord

Every morning is a new chance
To be a good friend
To reach out a hand
Every morning is a new chance
To share the love of the Lord

No matter what happened yesterday
Today God's mercies are new
No matter what you might have done
God has forgiven you

Every morning is a new chance
A new chance to dream
A new chance to chance
Give your best with all that you have
To share the love of the Lord

BE THE WHEAT AND NOT THE WEEDS
Matthew 13:24 & 25

Be the wheat and not the weeds
Be the wheat Ooooh

We're all seeds in God's garden
Growing in his light
He's shining down upon us
To lead us and to guide
He brings the living water
He feeds us with the word
Let all our deeds and actions
Glorify the Lord

The weeds are pulled and thrown out
The wheat grows tall instead
The weeds turn into nothing
The wheat turns into bread
He lets us make our own choice
We need to do what's right
Pointing all the people
to the bread of life

SHINE LIKE THE STAR YOU ARE!
Matthew 5:16

God made you to sparkle
to light his galaxy
A ray of hope and beauty
For all the world to see

Shine like a star
Shine like the star you are
He made your light to shine near and far
So shine like the star you are

God made you to shimmer
Like the sun upon the sea
A bright reflecting diamond
of love and charity

So shine like a star
Shine like the star you are
Share the love God put inside your heart
and shine like the star you are

Do everything without complaining
Don't argue with your friends
When we argue and complain
our light grows dim

BE A DO-GOODER, NOT AN I SHOULDA
Galatians 6:10

Be a do-gooder not an I shoulda
Be someday who helps someone in need
Be a big helper Not a myselfer
Be the kind of a friend that Jesus would be

When a friend's upset
ask if they're alright
When somebody makes you mad
Don't get in a fight
When you're finished playing
Pick up all your toys
When mom and dad are on the phone
Don't make so much noise

Draw someone a picture
to brighten up their day
When you see a frowny face
Send a smile their way
When someone asks a question
Always tell the truth
When somebody needs a hand
Ask what you can do

When someone needs a hug
Be two arms and a squeeze
When somebody needs a prayer
Speak to God from your knees

EVERY GOOD DEED
Galatians 6:7

Everyone's a farmer
Growing their own crop
You're gonna reap
What you sew
Whether you like it or not
So please let us offer
One small piece of advice
If you gotta choose between nice and mean
It's better to be nice
Because

Every good deed comes back to you
What you've done keeps track of you
Every kind word comes back it's true
And every good deed comes back to you

A SMILE IS A FLOWER FROM THE HEART
Proverbs 15:30

This world is a garden
Our actions are the seeds
Kindness turns to blossoms
Meanness turns to weeds

A smile is a flower
A smile is a flower
A smile is a flower from the heart

God's love lives inside of us
We can share it everyplace
Through a window we can open
Right there on our face

Everywhere you go
God is there with you
Let each one you meet
See his love in bloom

HALLELU HALLELU
Psalm 147:1

Hallelu Hallelu
Hallelu Hallelujah
Praise Ye the Lord
Hallelu Hallelu
Hallelu Hallelujah
Praise Ye the Lord
Praise Ye the Lord - Hallelujah
Praise Ye the Lord - Hallelujah
Praise Ye the Lord - Hallelujah
Praise Ye the Lord

WE NEED EACH OTHER
(The Body Song)
Ephesians 4:16

An arm needs a hand to pick things up
A leg needs a foot to go walkin'
A head needs a neck to sit upon
and a mouth to do the talkin'
One without the other just won't do
You know it's kind of like me and you

We need each other in the body of Christ
We're all part of God's grand design
You shine your light and I'll shine mine
We need each other in the body of Christ
Need each other in the body of Christ

A leg needs a knee for bending down
Our lungs need a nose when they're breathing
A head needs two ears for hearing sound
and two eyes to do the seeing
Put it all together and it's a team
You know it's kind of like you and me

Rpt CHORUS w/ new 3rd line
You share your gifts and I'll share mine

GO TO THE ANT
Proverbs 6:6

Hey you there on the couch
slouching like a slug
I want to tell you about
a very different bug
Proverb six talks about
this six legged friend
and the lesson we can learn
from being just like him

Go to the ant
Watch him work
Consider his ways
When God gives you work to do
Do it with all your strength
Don't be lazy
like a sloth
Don't say I can't
Remember God's example
Go to the ant
Go to the ant

There's no boss pushing ants
driving them berserk
It's just that they understand
The value of hard work
So get up, break a sweat
Give each job your best
You'll feel so much better then
when you sit down to rest
Just...

THESE ARE THE BIG DO'S, THESE ARE THE BIG DON'T'S
Jeremiah 11:4

These are the big do's
These are the big don't's
These are the I wills
These are the I wont's

Love the Lord your God Shouted: That's A do!
Don't misuse his name Shouted: That's A don't!
Honor mom and dad Shouted: That's I will!
Never tell a lie Shouted: That's I won't!

Share God's love with friends That's A do!
Don't be a greedy Gus That's A don't
Keep Sunday for the Lord That's I will!
Never ever steal That's I won't!

Do-do-do-do Do-do-do
Don't-don't-don't-don't Don't-don't-don't
Will-will-will-will Will-will-will
Won't-won't-won't-won't Won't-won't-won't

Be a faithful friend That's a do!
Don't hurt anyone That's a don't!
Talk to God each day That's I will!
Don't love stuff more than him That's I won't

LOVE IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT
Matthew 22:37-39

Love the Lord with all of your heart
All of your heart
All of your heart
Love the Lord with all of your heart
This is the greatest commandment

Love the Lord with all of your mind
All of your mind
All of your mind
Love the Lord with all of your mind
This is the greatest commandment

Love the Lord with all of your soul
All of your soul
All of your soul
Love the Lord with all of your soul
This is the greatest commandment

Show God's love with each word you say
In everything you do
Love your neighbor as yourself
and God's love will shine through

Love the Lord with all of your heart
All of your heart
All of your heart
Love the Lord with all of your heart
This is the greatest commandment
Love is the greatest commandment

DON'T LOVE STUFF
Luke 12:15 & 21

This world's got tons of goodies
It's full of games and toys
There's lots of stuff for girls
There's lots of stuff for boys
and though they're fun to play with
These things won't fill your soul
So each day take time to pray
'Cause God wants you to know

Don't love stuff more than Jesus
Don't love stuff more than people
No matter how much you get
It's never ever never ever never ever never enough
Don't love stuff
Don't love stuff

You think you love your TV
and babies full of beans
Balls and crayons, dolls and blocks
Pizza and ice cream
These things may make you happy
But there's one thing they lack
No matter how much you love them
They can't love you back

When you love your neighbor
You're loving Jesus too
and that's the kind of loving
That God wants us to do

It's never ever never ever never ever never ever
never ever never ever never ever never ever
never ever never ever never ever never enough
Don't love stuff
Don't love stuff

FAITH MOVES A MOUNTAIN BETTER THAN FEET
Matthew 17:20

If you need to move a tractor
You'd better have some wheels
and you'll need some gasoline
to move automobiles
If you're gonna move an airplane
You'd better have wings
But to move a mountain
you don't need any of those things

Faith moves a mountain better than feet
Jesus said it and we believe
Even if it's tiny as a mustard seed
Faith moves a mountain better than feet

If you want to move a boxcar
You're gonna need some track
And you'll have to have an engine
to move a Cadillac
If you want to move a steamboat
You'd better have steam
But to move a mountain's not as difficult
as it seems

Faith is believing in what I can't see
and trusting God will always
Be right there with me

God is stronger than Hercules
Faith moves a mountain better than feet

ALL YOUR WORDS ARE A PRAYER
Proverbs 16:24

Words can hurt
Words can heal
Words affect the way we feel
Speak the words that show you care
so all your words are a prayer

Words can smile
Words can frown
Words make us feel up or down
Speak words of kindness everywhere
So all your words are a prayer

Sticks and stones
Break your bones
But angry words drive us apart
and break our hearts

Words can laugh
Words can cry
Words make us feel low or high
Speak words that show your love is there
So all your words are a prayer
Speak the words that show you care
So all your words are a prayer

MAKE THE MOST OF WHAT YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN
Matthew 25:29

God could have made you a kangaroo
with giant feet for hopping
He could have made you a cockatoo
with wings for flying far
God could have made you a racing horse
with hooves for clippety clopping
But he must've thought the world needed you
'cause he made you just the way you are, so

Make the most of what you've been given
Do your best with all you've got
When God made you he knew what he was doing
So, come on and get busy living
Make the most of what you've been given

God could have made you like Hercules
with muscles big as China
He could have made you a royal queen
with a gold and silver crown
God could have made you a Superstar
Wait! I think he mighta
I know for sure that you're important
'Cause you're the only you around

God took the time to make you
and give you special gifts
The best way you can thank him
is with the way you live

Make the most, make the most (of what you've been given)

THE HEY HEY SONG
(Jesus Is The Way)
John 14:6

Hey hey hey hey
I know someone you ought to know
Hey hey hey hey
I know someone you ought to know
Jesus is the way

Hey hey hey hey

I've Got the Joy Down in My Heart - Songs from the New Testament (Volume 1 Number 4)

I'VE GOT THE JOY DOWN IN MY HEART
John 15:10-11

I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart
Down in my heart
Down in my heart
I have the joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart
Down in my heart to stay

I've got the love of Jesus down in my heart
Down in my heart
Down in my heart
I have the love of Jesus down in my heart
Down in my heart to stay

And I'm so happy
So very happy
I have the love of Jesus in my heart
And I'm so happy
So very happy
I have the love of Jesus in my heart

And I'm so happy
So very happy
I have the love of Jesus in my heart
And I'm so happy
So very happy
I have the love of Jesus in my heart

NOT ONE CUBIT
Matthew 6:27

The ground of a rich man
produced a bounty crop
He said I think I'll build a bigger barn
I'll eat, drink, and be merry
But God said not so fast
You won't get into heaven 'cause you have a giant farm
You see it doesn't matter
how much you've got
If you don't spend time
getting to know God

Not one cubit
Not one cubit
Not one cubit can you add
Build a bigger barn
and it's lots of hay you have
But not one cubit can you add

Consider the ravens
They do not sow or reap
They have no big red barn to store their food
So do not fret or worry
About your food or clothes
If God takes care of birdies he can sure take care of you
You can think about it
'til you turn green
But why waste your time
God knows what you need

LITTLE CHILDREN COME UNTO ME
Matthew 19:14

Little children come unto me
Little children come unto me
You are made in God's image
so perfectly
Little children come unto me

Some children came to Jesus
The disciples said leave him alone
But Jesus said no
Let them come to me
For these are heaven's own

Jesus loves the children
and he wants them to be blessed
and we can always pray to him
'cause this is what he says

A FEW FINNY FISH
John 6:11

Jesus was speaking to a great big crowd
and pretty soon meal time rolled around
The disciples were worried
Lord what do we do?
He said follow my directions
and they'll be plenty of food

Take a few finny fish
and five loaves of bread
and pretty soon 5,000 will be fed
Pray and a little goes a long, long way
and a few finny fish will feed the people today

The people sat down to a skimpy lunch
but everyone ate until they were stuffed
The disciples gathered up baskets of crumbs
Jesus took a little
and made much more than enough

With a few finny fish
and five loaves of bread
Pretty soon 5,000 mouths were fed
They prayed and a little went a long, long way
and a few finny fish fed the people that day

Jesus knows everything that you need
He'll make a little more than it seems
So don't be discouraged
Just believe
Then miracles and wonders
will start happening

Repeat 1st CHORUS

EVEN THE WAVES OBEY
Luke 8:24

Jesus said to all his disciples
let's cross over the lake
The water started getting rambunctious
when they noticed he wasn't awake
Those disciples started to panic
and shouted we're all gonna drown
Jesus woke up, said where is your faith
and calmed those waters down

Even the waves obey
There's no need to be afraid
If you've got Jesus you're OK
'Cause even the waves obey

If a problem turns you to jell-o
Shaking down to your boots
Just turn your troubles over to Jesus
and you'll be amazed what he can do
He's the one who walked on the water
He's the one who healed the sick
Whatever it is, just trust in him
and you'll feel better quick

BIGGER THAN THAT
John 15:9

How big does Jesus love me?
As big as a jumbo jet?
As big as a locomotive?
As big as an elephant?

Bigger than that
Bigger than that
Bigger than
Bigger than that
Bigger than that
Bigger than
Spread your arms as wide as you can
Bigger than
Bigger than that

How big does Jesus love you?
As big as the ocean deep?
As big as the tallest building?
Or the highest mountain steep?

We know that Jesus loves us
The bible tells us so
Does he love us bigger than the sky?
No! No! No!
It's...

CHORUS two times
Bigger than that!

BE A PALM WAVER
Matthew 21:9

Jesus road in on a donkey
to the city of Jerusalem
The people all cried out Hosanna!
Because they were so glad to see him
They took off the coats they were wearing
and spread them down on the ground
Then as the Lord Jesus rode by them
They waved beautiful palms all around

Be a palm waver
A Jesus praiser
Show your savior
that you love him so
Be a palm waver
A Jesus praiser
Tell the whole world about
the love inside your soul

Jesus will come in to your life
To the city and the state where you live
All you have to do is invite him
and he will be there lickety split
He wants to be your companion
Your ever present friend
For all that he's done and he's doing
There's one way that you can thank him

BIG LITTLE GIFT
Luke 21:3

Jesus was in the temple
watching as people gave
The richest among them put in a lot
out of the money they'd made
Then a very poor woman
put in two small copper coins
Jesus called his followers to him
and then he made this point

The littlest gift from a grateful heart
is big in the eyes of the Lord
No matter how small
If we give 'cause were his
It's a big little gift

Generous or greedy
It all begins in the heart
The love of the Lord living in us
is where the sharing starts
Like the gift of the woman
Your gift is pleasing to God
Just as long as you remember
Who it all comes from

CHORUS
You can't out-give the father
Your cup will run over
with big little gifts

UNHAPPY THE HYPOCRITE
Matthew 7:3

Unhappy is the saddest guy around
He always finds a way
to put other people down
Jesus taught us not to talk about the speck
in the pupil of the other guy
Unhappy would need Paul Bunyon's help
to get the log out of his own eye

Unhappy the hypocrite
Saying flop then doing flip
A little too quick to judge another
Saying one thing and doing the other
Unhappy the hypocrite
If you want someone to fix
Take a look in the mirror
There he is
Unhappy the hypocrite

Unhappy never says a happy word
He only sees what's wrong
Except where he's concerned
Jesus taught us not to be a smarty pants
Always telling others what to do
Forgiveness is what unhappy needs
to get the ocean out of his canoe

Jesus taught us not to talk about the speck
in the pupil of the other guy
Unhappy's gonna be unhappy
'til he get's to know Jesus Christ

NOT WHAT I WANT
John 5:30

Sometimes I think
I'm really smart
I know just what to do
Sometimes I just want my own way
or I get in a stew
I know I
should always pray
When big questions come my way

Not what I want
But what you want
God please lead my life
Not what I want
But what you want
I want to do what's right

When I could use
a little help
to choose the thing that's best
I need to turn to God in prayer
and trust him with the rest
He gave me
the gift of life
I'll bet he's got some good advice

CHORUS
I want to do what's
want to do what's
want to do what's right

ONE HUNDRED SHEEP GRAZING OUT IN THE FIELD
Matthew 18:12

One hundred sheep grazing out in the field
One hundred sheep in the field
If one of those sheep should wander off
Ninety-nine sheep grazing out in the field

The shepherd goes to look for the one
and bring him back to the flock
Your father in heaven won't sit still
Even if one little lamby is lost

Ninety-nine sheep grazing out in the field
The shepherd finds the one
One hundred sheep grazing out in the field
and now our song is done

THE GOLDEN RULE
Luke 6:31

Does it hurt when someone else is mean to you
And calls you an icky, nasty name?
Come on now, tell the truth
Haven't you done it too?
Don't you think it probably felt the same

Do unto others as you want done back to you
Treat them like you want to be treated
Do unto others as you want done back to you
This is the golden rule

Jesus wants us not to put each other down
and stop starting arguments and fights
He says instead we should be spreading love around
Don't you think it's better to be nice

If somebody has an ugly word to speak
Tell them about Jesus
Then turn the other cheek

JESUS TEACH US
Matthew 6:9

Jesus teach us how to pray
Jesus teach us what to say
When we talk to our father
Jesus teach us how to pray

Pray to your father in heaven
That his name will be honored
Pray for his kingdom to come
And his will to be done here on earth
Just as it is in heaven

Give us our food for this day
and forgive us of our sins
As we have forgiven those
Who have sinned against us
and don't let us give in to temptation
But deliver us from evil

COCKADODDLE-DON'T
Luke 22:60

Jesus told Peter before the day is through
You're going to say I'm someone that you never knew
Peter said, "No Lord, I'm your man"
I would never lie about a thing like that
3 times he was asked
If he knew the Lord
Peter said I've never met the man before

When Peter heard the rooster cockadoodle-doo
It reminded him that he'd been untrue
Cockadoodle-doo the rooster crowed
but it sounded just like cockadoodle-don't

So be honest in everything you say
Tell the truth to everybody every day
Fib and you'll hear the rooster crow

Cockadoodle
Cockadoodle
Cockadoodle-don't
Cockadoodle
Cockadoodle
Cockadoodle-don't

THE LETTER MAN
Philippians 1:3-4

When the church was just a baby
Someone had to spread the news
Jesus chose a Pharisee named Saul
From the day that he met Jesus
He really changed his tune
Today we know him as Apostle Paul

The letter man
The letter man
Telling about Jesus with his pen
Nobody spread the gospel better than
Paul, Paul the letter man

Paul was called to tell the people
from Jerusalem to Rome
All about the love of Jesus Christ
When he couldn't preach in person
He kept preaching with his pen
and what amazing letters he would write

Who did he write to?
Who did he write to?
Who did he write to?
Who did he write to?

Romans, Corinthians, Corinthians again
Galatians, Ephesians, and Philippians
Colossians and then a pair of Thessalonians
Timothy twice, Titus and Philemon

JESUS IS THE ONE!
Philippians 4:4

Clap your hands
Stomp your feet
Tell each person that you meet
That Jesus
Jesus is the one

Pound a drum
Bang a gong
Tell each person you belong
to Jesus
Jesus is the one

Jesus is the one who loves you so
Jesus is the one you ought to know
Jesus is the one Have you been told?
Jesus is the one who saves your soul

Blow a horn
Toot a toot
'til the whole world knows the truth
That Jesus
Jesus is the one

Ring a bell
Be a bird
Until everyone has heard
That Jesus
Jesus is the one

Clap your hands stomp your feet
Pound a drum Bang a gong
Blow a horn Toot a toot
Ring a bell Sing along
That Jesus Jesus is the one
Jesus Jesus is the one

HOORAY FOR JESUS CHRIST!
Revelation 5:13

There are cookies and cakes and hot chocolate
There are tinsel and glittering bulbs
But people forget that it's Jesus
whose gift was most precious of all
There's a tree that's surrounded by boxes
Brightly wrapped up in ribbons and bows
But what really matters at Christmas
Is telling God you love him so

Christmas has lots of presents
Christmas has colored lights
But on Christmas Day
Let's celebrate and say
Hooray for Jesus Christ!

Maybe you'll have some turkey and stuffing
or you'll play with some toys in the snow
Then you'll come in by the fire
And thaw out your cheeks and your toes
But as you feel the glow of fire
Remember the warmth in your heart
That comes from the love of Lord Jesus
Where all of true happiness starts

Christmas is exciting
The best day of the year
So let's praise the one
who's the reason it's here!

CHORUS
So on Christmas Day
Let's celebrate and say
Hooray for Jesus Christ!

THE LITTLE BROWN BURRO
Luke 2:4 & 5

There was a little brown burro
A shaggy creature was he
But with one act of service
He made history
For it was upon his back
that Jesus' mother rode
All the way to Bethlehem
on that night of old

The humble shall be lifted up
The meek shall inherit the earth
Remember the little brown burro
who carried Mary to the place
of the savior's birth

Joseph knew the journey
would be dusty and long
So he looked for a donkey
A servant sturdy and strong
The burro walked those many miles
without thought of reward
'til the stable came in sight
The birthplace of our Lord

HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING
Luke 2:13 & 14

Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Joyful, all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic hosts proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King

Hark the heavens' Prince of peace
Hail the Son of righteousness
Light and life to all he brings
Risen with healing in his wings
Our Emmanuel is born
Jesus everlasting Lord
With angelic hosts proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King

Hark everybody hark! Listen to the angels
Hark everybody hark! Listen to the angels
Gloria...

Holy Jesus, God's own Son
Perfect Savior, chosen one
Mercy, hear the angels tell
Has come down to man to dwell
Joyful all ye children see
The incarnate Deity
With angelic hosts proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King

The newborn King
Hark everybody hark!

GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN
1 John 4:4

Comfort and joy
Comfort and joy

God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from evil's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy
Comfort and joy

God rest ye merry gentlemen
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Joy

A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

God rest ye merry gentlemen
Comfort and joy
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Comfort and joy
God rest ye merry gentlemen

THE LORD SENT A BABY
Matthew 1:18

God wanted to tell us he loved us
in a way that we'd never forget
So he looked down on Bethlehem town
and sent our savior
to a manger

The Lord sent a baby
The Lord sent a baby
The Lord sent a baby to bring us good news
The Lord sent a baby that first Christmas night
and 2,000 years later his love still shines bright

Just like on that very first Christmas
God wants us to love him today
So let all earth remember his birth
When love came to meet us
in the baby Jesus

JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON
Luke 2:16 & 17

We watch and wait
Anticipate
We've got cause to celebrate
The savior's birth is Christmas Day
It's a good time
So let us sing
Let spirits ring
December chill will melt like spring
with the peace and love he brings
It's a good time

Jesus is the reason for the season
Jesus is the reason for the season

It's in the air
It's everywhere
People want to show they care
The gift of love is ours to share
It's a good time

If somebody asks you
The reason for your joy
Point them to the manger
and a little baby boy

La la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la

CHORUS
Jesus is the reason for the season
Jesus is the reason for the season
Jesus is the reason for the season
Jesus is the reason for the season

IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR
Luke 2: 8 & 9

It came upon a midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
Peace on the earth goodwill to men
From heaven's all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing

It came
(Upon a midnight clear)
It came
(Upon a midnight clear)

For lo, the days are hastening on
By prophets seen of old
When with ever-circling years
Shall come the time foretold
When the new heaven and earth shall own
The Prince of Peace their King
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing

It came
(Upon a midnight clear)
It came
(Upon a midnight clear)
It came
(Upon a midnight clear)

NO ROOM IN THE INN
Luke 2:7

There was no room in the inn
but you can make room in your heart
There was no room in the inn
but you can make room in your heart
Give your heart to Jesus on this Christmas Day
Then go out and give his love away
but you can make room in your heart

Joseph and Mary found
no room in the inn
and so they stayed in a tiny barn
There was no room in the inn
and so they stayed in a tiny barn
That Christmas night a miracle occurred
The blessed baby Jesus came into the world
There was no room in the inn
but you can make room in your heart

Give your heart to Jesus each and every day
Then go out and give his love away
There was no room in the inn
but you can make room in your heart

BRAND NEW YEAR
Hebrew 13:8

January's coming
It will soon be here
We will have faith
We will have hope
All through the brand new year

We'll choose to be loving
We'll choose to have trust
Mercy's new
for me and you
Because of the Lord Jesus

Every December
It's easy to remember
to share the love of God with endless joy
We can't lose sight of heaven
In months one through eleven
We need to keep our eyes
On the holy baby boy

So don't lose the spirit
Hold on to your cheer
Your Christmas smile
should last a while
All through the brand new year
All through the brand new year

O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM
Luke 2:15

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above the deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth

CHRISTMAS IS...
2 Corinthians 8:7

Christmas shouldn't be about
the traffic jams and angry crowds
and shopping at the malls 'til we drop
Christmas isn't just new toys
and candy for the girls and boys
and making sure I get what I want

Christmas is sharing
and laughing and caring
A chance for us all to give
Christmas is hugging
and singing and loving
Like Jesus wants us to live
That is what Christmas is

Christmas shouldn't be so rushed
as if there isn't time enough
We start before Thanksgiving is through
Christmas shouldn't be so loud
with Jesus almost crowded out
Lord, we should be thinking of you

CHORUS
That is what Christmas is

ANGELS FROM THE REALMS OF GLORY
Psalm 95:6

Angels from the realms of glory
Wing your flight o'er all the earth
Ye who sang creations's story
Now proclaim Messiah's birth
Come and worship
Come and worship
Worship Christ the newborn King

Shepherds in the fields abiding
Watching o'er your flocks by night
God with man is now residing
Yonder shines the infant light
Come and worship
Come and worship
Worship Christ the newborn King
Come and worship
Come and worship
Worship Christ the newborn King

THE HAPPIEST HOLIDAY
Luke 2:20

Heaven was rejoicing
Angels descended to earth
Bringing news of Jesus
the blessed savior's birth
Hope and peace and mercy
Were born in God's own son
The offer of salvation
and joy for everyone

On that first
Christmas Day
The wonderfullest thing took place
Christ was born
Let's celebrate
The happiest holiday

This wonderful occasion
Comes just once a year
When everybody you see
Smiles from ear to ear
You feel something special
There's gladness everywhere
So share the love of Jesus
'Cause he's got lots to spare

It's the anniversary
Of the greatest gift to you and me
