I AM SENT ME TO YOU
Exodus 3:13-14
Moses was tending some sheep one day
when he saw a bush that was engulfed in flames
The plant wasn't burning
Moses was amazed
So he walked on over to the bushy blaze
God had his attention and called out to Mo
You'll lead my flock away from the pharaoh
Moses protested
No one will believe
What do I tell them when they ask who sent me?
I am I am I am sent me
A burning bush gave me the news
I am I am I am sent me
I am sent me to you
Moses protested again and again
They won't believe or do what I tell them
They'll say the Lord never showed himself to you
and when that happens then what will I do
say CHORUS
The Lord said hey Moses
What's that in your hand
It's just an ordinary shepherd's staff
God said throw it down
and POW it was snake
Perform this sign and they'll believe when you say
The Israelites were thankful for deliverance
But soon they were complaining in the wilderness
Walking through the desert on their tired feet
Not a lot to drink and even less to eat
Then God said to Moses
I will rain down food
Covering the ground after the morning dew
Heavenly bread
Everyone was fed
Oh how the Lord came through
Manna from heaven
Must've been a shock
But you know our God can squeeze
Water from a rock
He's the provider
For his earthly flock
and you know our God can squeeze
Water from a rock
The people kept on wandering the barren land
Nothing squishing through their toes but grains of sand
They said to Moses now we're gonna die of thirst
Moses said please help me Lord, I fear the worst
God said golly what is all this fuss about?
Strike the rock and water will come gushing out
So that's what he did
Every thirst was quenched
Oh my how the Lord came through
CHORUS
A tree by the river grows straight and true
and every single season it bears good fruit
You don't need a gardener with a green, green thumb
just plant yourself where the river runs
You might as well try and not be a quitter
You might as well share and be a giver
You might as well put onions on your liver
and you might as well be a tree by the river
The word of God is the river of life
Drink your fill 'cause it never runs dry
Delight in doing what the Lord would have you do
Go to the river and put down your roots
CHORUS
You don't want your leaves to curl up and whither
So you might as well be a tree by the river
Yes you might as well be a tree by the river
There are so many things to appreciate
Like swimming pools and summer days
Like ice cream on your birthday cake
Like a Saturday in the park
When you're grateful for this life you live
Thank the giver of all gifts
When you've got a reason to be thankful
Talk to God Talk to God Repeat
There are so many ways that we find to sin
Like sneaking cookies and telling fibs
Like being mean to other kids
Like not minding our moms and dads
When you're ready to apologize
ask the Lord to set it right
When you know you need to ask forgiveness
Talk to God Talk to God Repeat
Tell your mom Tell your dad
It's important that you talk
and don't forget everyday
to talk to God
There are so many feelings we need to share
Like when stuff happens that seems unfair
Like dreams and worries, hopes and cares
Like anything on your heart
When you've got something you need to say
Tell the Lord next time you pray
When you've got a feeling that needs telling
Talk to God Talk to God Repeat
Talk to God Thank him Thank him
Talk to God Ask him Ask him
Talk to God Tell him Tell him
Talk to God
LOT, IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT
Genesis 19:26
The city of Sodom was a naughty place
About the naughtiest place around
An angel of the Lord came to Lot and said
You better get your family out of town
So Lot and his wife and his daughters (two)
Prepared to make a rather swift escape
But instead of doing just what the angel said
Lot's Mrs. Made a grave mistake
She looked back just for a moment
She feared instead of trusting God
So Lot, Lot it's not your fault
Your wife turned into a pillar of salt
The moral of this tale is obey the Lord
Because his way is the way that's right
And I promise you won't become a condiment
like Mrs. Lot did on that fateful night
CHORUS
Naomi had lost everything she held dear
and set off traveling home
Orpah went too
and so did Ruth
So Naomi wasn't alone
Along the way Naomi said you can go
Girls you both have your own lives
Ruth wouldn't budge
She acted with love
and stayed right by Naomi's side
Be a buddy, a sidekick, a pal, and a friend
Be somebody on who someone else can depend
Be a sister, a brother through thick and thin
Be a buddy, a sidekick, a pal, and a friend
Be a buddy, a sidekick, a pal, and a friend
Perhaps you know someone
who's needing your help
or having a really hard time
Be just like Ruth
and see them through
and you will be true friends for life
CHORUS
CHORUS
An amigo, a partner, a chum to the end
Be a buddy, a sidekick, a pal
and a friend
Be a friend
Be a friend
Be a friend
Serve God with a phone call
Serve God with a pen
Serve God with an encouraging
word to a friend
Serve God by caring
through thick and thin
Serve God
Serve God
Serve God
Serve God with a smile
Serve God with a laugh
Serve God with an encouraging
pat on the back
Serve God by lending
a helping hand
CHORUS
Serve God by loving
as he loves you
CHORUS
MARCH MARCH MARCH MARCH MARCH MARCH MARCH
Joshua 6:4-5
The gates of Jericho were shut up tight as a drum
No one could go either in or out
Then an angel of the Lord came to Joshua
With God's plan to make those walls come down
March once around the city every day for six days
Blowing on your trumpets long and loud
Then on the seventh day march around seven times
Then shout and watch those walls come tumbling down
March march march march march march march
March around the city seven times
Give a blast from the horns
Then give a shout
and watch out!
The walls will come down
Joshua obeyed the Lord and once for six days
They marched around the city tooting horns
They had the ten commandments in a special box
and they had the presence of the Lord
On the seventh day they marched around seven times
Giving God and his plan all their trust
and they soon had their reward
For following the Lord
When the mighty walls turned into dust
March march march march march march march
They marched around the city seven times
With a blast from the horns and a great big shout
Watch out! The walls all came down
Seems like every one is racing
There's always so much to be done
E-mailing computers, fast-fooding commuters
Everybody's in a rush
In all of the hurry we need to stop
If we're gonna hear the voice of God
Be Still...
And know that he is God
Be Still...
And know that he is God
When the world spins so fast you think you might fall off
Be Still...
And know that he is God
Take the time to smell a flower
or listen to a babbling brook
Miracles happen
but we might miss them
If we're too busy to look
It's in the quiet we hear God's voice
When we take a break from all the noise
CHORUS
Read the bible
Kneel and pray
Spend time with the Lord each day
CHORUS
Be Still and know that he is
Still and know that he is
Still and know that he is God
Samson was a very strong man
As strong as a thousand men
The secret of his mighty power
was the hair upon his head
He killed a lion with his bare hands
He carried the city gates
But he didn't see Delilah's plan
Until it was too late
Hairy hairy Sam hairy Sam hairy Samson
Hairy hairy Sam hairy hairy hairy Sam
Repeat
The Philistines wanted to know
What gave Sam strength so rare
They had no idea that God had said
Sam should never cut his hair
They asked Delilah to trick Sam
and find his source of might
He told her then fell off to sleep
and they shaved him bald that night
CHORUS
The Philistines made fun of him 'cause Samson was now weak
He couldn't break the chains that had him bound
One last time he prayed to God to give him back his strength
Then he pushed the temple pillars down
Samson might have used his strength
To do much greater things
He made mistakes a fell into
The hands of the Philistines
Yet his story teaches us
That it's never too late
In the end he trusted God
Now he's in the hall of faith
CHORUS
PRAISE THE LORD OUR GOD
Psalm 150: 1,3
Praise the Lord Our God
Praise the Lord Our God
Let everything that lives
sing praises to the mighty God
Praise God with the trumpet
Praise God with the harp
Praise God with the tambourine
Everyone praise God
CHORUS
Praise God with stringed instruments
Praise God with the flute
Praise God clanging cymbals
Praise God to the roof!
CHORUS
Praises to the mighty God
Praise the Lord Our God
Praise the Lord Our God
Repeat and fade
PEACE LIKE A RIVER
Isaiah 66:12
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river in my soul
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river in my soul
I've got love like an ocean
I've got love like an ocean

I've got joy like a fountain in my soul
I've got peace like a river in my soul
JEHOSAPHAT YOU CAN'T DO THAT
2 Chronicles 20: 32-33
Jehosaphat sent teachers with the book of law
Throughout the land of Judah teaching about God
Then he appointed Judges
and gave them instructions
to fear the Lord and judge with care
But when it came to the day to day
That's where he got led astray
Jeho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-hosaphat
Jeho-ho-hosaphat you can't do that
Jehosaphat don't you know where it's at
is following God
even in the little things
When life is difficult and puts you to the test
Then you should always pray to God and do your best
Remember your religion
when making decisions
'Cause God will never steer you wrong
When things are easy don't ignore
The leading of the Lord
CHORUS
Jeho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-hosaphat
Jeho-ho-hosaphat you can't do that
Jehosaphat don't you know where it's at
is trusting God
in the ordinary
even when it isn't scary
even in the little things
You know when I stand up
You know when I sit down
You know when I smile
Lord you know when I frown
You know when I run
You know when I rest
Of all those who know me
You know me best
You know me Lord
Like nobody else
You know me Lord
Better than I know myself
You knew my name
Before I was born
and you know I know you know me Lord
You know when I'm sleeping
You know when I'm awake
You know what I'm thinking
and what I'm going to say
You know when I'm good
You know when I'm bad
You know when I'm crying
You know when I'm glad
CHORUS
You know me Lord (You know me, You know me, you know me, you know me)
Repeat two times
GOD'S GREAT LOVE
Psalm 103:2-3
He forgives
All my sins
and surrounds me with his mercy
He gives me
All good things
and is slow to become angry
God's great love
Is always with me
God's great love
It's much more than enough
I cannot use it up
God's great love
He is fair
When life's not
with a tender understanding
Oh he cares
A whole lot
For the children of his family
CHORUS
WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN
Psalm 31:23
Oh when the saints go marching in
Oh when the saints go marching in
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in
Oh when the light begins to shine
Oh when the light begins to shine
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the light begins to shine
Oh when the saints
(shouted) Saints!
Go marching in
(shouted) In!
Oh when the saints go marching in
(shouted) Go marching in!
Oh Lord I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching
Saints go marching
Saints go marching in
(shouted) Go marching in!
Jesus Loves Me - Songs from the New Testament (Volume 2 Number 2)
Jesus loves me this I know
for the bible tells me so
Little ones to him belong
They are weak but he is strong

all the way from head to toe
Walks beside me night and day
Listens to each word I pray
CHORUS
Hallelujah hallelujah
Jesus loves me

He is Lord!
Hallelujah hallelujah
Jesus loves me

The bible tells me so
CHORUS
The bible tells me so
The bible tells me so
A-men, A-men, A-men, A-men, A-men
See the tiny baby
Sleeping in the manger
Early Christmas morning
See him at the temple
Talking to the elders
Who marveled at his wisdom
Each and every day
I take time to pray
And when I am finished
This is what I say
A-men, A-men, A-men, A-men, A-men
First he came a preachin'
Then he came a teachin'
Tellin' them disciples
I know that Jesus loves me
And he died to save me
Then he rose on Easter!
A-men, A-men, A-men
DON'T LET THE LEFT HAND KNOW
Matthew 6:3
We all like taking credit
We all like looking good
Why do we want a round of applause
For just doing what we should?
You can make a fuss on earth instead of
Waiting for your reward in heaven
or here's a little suggestion
You just might try
Don't let the left hand know what the right hand is doing
Don't give to see what you can get
Don't be the kind of horn
that does it's own tooting
Don't be a hypocrite
Don't stand on the street and shout - Look at me!!!
When you do an act of charity
Don't let the left hand know what the right hand is doing
Give your gifts in secret
Do the right thing 'cause it's right
Let your walk outdo your talk
You know it's all in God's sight
You can make a fuss on earth instead of
Waiting for your reward in heaven
or here's a little suggestion
from Jesus Christ
CHORUS
Don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing

GOD'S AT THE WHEEL
Psalm 25:4-5
Just for a moment
Pretend you own a car
You're out on the road
But you don't know where you are
You're wondering what's coming up
around the next bend
Then you notice that the driver is your biggest, bestest friend
God's at the wheel
God's at the wheel
He's in control when you don't know the deal
There's no map of the future
You just need to kneel
and remember that God's at the wheel
You might have a scooter
A bicycle or trike
A skateboard, a pogo stick
or a pony that you ride
But even if it's handlebars
you grip to get around
You've still got a co-pilot who'll never let you down
CHORUS
Jesus tells the story of a Jewish man
Who some nasty robbers hit upon the head
They took his stuff and left him lying there
along the rocky road
A priest and a temple worker happened by
But both of them crossed to the other side
Then a Samaritan came along the road
and stopped to help the man
Be a Sam
Be a Sam
Reaching out to be God's hands
Showing kindness and mercy
Whenever you can
Be a Sam
The Jews and Samaritans didn't get along
But Sam still couldn't help knowing right from wrong
He cleaned up the injured man and took him to an inn
to get a little rest
What an example the Samaritan gave
We need to do exactly the same
'cause he took the time to be really, really kind
and show the love of God
CHORUS
Every person is a creation of God
Whether they're your friend or not
So when you see someone in need
You know just what you should be
CHORUS
Sam Be A Sam
Reaching out to be God's hands
Showing kindness and mercy
Whenever you can
Be a Sam
I've got a home in glory land that
Outshines the sun (Oh Lordy)
I've got a home in glory land that
Outshines the sun
I've got a home in glory land that
Outshines the sun
Look away beyond the blue
Do Lord, Oh do Lord, Oh do remember me
Do Lord, Oh do Lord, Oh do remember me
Do Lord, Oh do Lord, Oh do remember me
Way beyond the blue
I've got a savior and his name is
Jesus the Lord (Oh praise him)
I've got a savior and his name is
Jesus the Lord
I've got a savior and his name is
Jesus the Lord
Look away beyond the blue
CHORUS
BELIEVING IS SEEING
John 20:29
Thomas had trouble getting it into his head
He couldn't believe that Jesus rose from the dead
He said I'm gonna have to see it
with my own eyes
And that's how he found out
Now he's known for his doubt
Believing is seeing
It starts when you pray
Only the heart
has 20/20 faith
The invisible God
can be very revealing
Belieiving
Belieivng
Believing is seeing
Believing
Believing
Believing is seeing
If you're like Thomas needing to see for yourself
That isn't so good for your spiritual health
Because it's God's love that lasts for eternity
Not the things you surmise
When you look through your eyes
CHORUS
Believing is seeing
FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
John 3:16
For God so loved the world
that he gave his only son
So that everyone who believes in him
will not perish
but have everlasting life
For God so loved the world
that he gave his only son
So that everyone who believes in him
will not perish
but have everlasting life
THE BIG BIG SHAKE
Acts 16:25-26
Paul and Silas went to Philippi
Preaching all about the love of Jesus Christ
They said he had risen
Soon they were in heaven
But God heard their prayers that night
Then
All the doors flew open
All the chains did break
God had spoken with a big, big shake
Rockin' and rollin'
Like a big earthquake
It was a big, big shake
Paul and Silas didn't run away
The jailer asked them all about being saved
They said trust in Jesus
It was God who freed us
You saw what happened when we prayed
'Cause
CHORUS
A big, big shake
A big, big shake
A big, big shake
Wake up it's Sunday Morning
Hop out of bed and dress for church

Every river needs an ocean
to get it's water from
Every orange needs an orange tree
that it can call it's home
You're just like that orange
Your sweetness is the truth
Everything that's part of me
Bears life giving fruit
I am the vine
You are the branches
Growing God's kingdom
One by one
Remain in my love
You'll see it enhances
sharing God's message
of peace and love
Every sunrise needs the heavens

Let it be God's love you sing
CHORUS
IT'S ALL IN YOUR ATTITUDE
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Let's say you and your friend both want a piece of cake
But there's only one left
You could decide to be happy and gladly share
or be greedy and get upset
You can't control all the things that happen to you
But there's one thing you always get to choose
Your attitude
Your attitude
You can always look at things with gratitude
You can be polite
You can be rude
It's all in your attitude
Let's say you go out shopping with your mom or dad
to buy a brand new toy
The one that you wanted is all sold out
Do you pout and become annoyed
Or do you take just a moment to be glad
for all the toys that you already have
CHORUS
God wants us to be grateful
'Cause it's good for our soul
You can see the cup half empty
or see the cup half full
CHORUS
DOCTOR OF YOUR HEART
Psalm 55:22
There are days when you're feeling fussy
You might trip on your lower lip
You wish you could be happy as a clam
But your eyes just want to drip
Well you don't need any medicine
For the condition you are in
You need to talk to Jesus
The doctor of your heart
Sometimes you feel like your heart is breaking
Everything is bringing you down
You wish you could grin and show some teeth
But all you've got is a frowny frown
There's no shot you need to take
When you've got a grumpy ache
You need to talk to Jesus
The doctor of your heart
It's not like you've got the flu
When you're just a little blue
You need to talk to Jesus
The doctor of your heart
EVERYONE'S IMPORTANT TO JESUS
Luke 19:5
Zacchaeus was a tax collector
The shortest man in the town
When Jesus came by
He climbed up a tree
To get a good look around
Zacchaeus didn't have many friends
So imagine his surprise
When Jesus said come down here man
We're eating at your house tonight
Everyyone's Important to Jesus
Everybody matters a lot
Short or tall, heavy or skinny
He's got enough love for many, many, many
Everyone's important to Jesus
From unpopulars to heroes
Nobody's a zero!
Everyone's important to Jesus
Well maybe you don't feel like Jesus
Would make some time for you
You're not a brain or so witty
or the handsomest kid in your whole city
But Jesus sees all the special things
that you don't always see
Haven't you heard? You're not a bird
It's time to come down from your tree
CHORUS
God's a loving parent
drying all our tears
He is always with us
So we need not fear
God is love
and he cares
and he listens to our prayers
God who knows
God who sees
God of peace
God's is like a blanket
when the night is cold
He is like a best friend
We are not alone
CHORUS
God who knows
God who sees
God of peace

Let all the people shout his praises
He is the greatest!

AS WIDE AS DEEP AS TALL
Ephesians 3:17-18 - Jamaica
There are times when I've been misbehaving
Not exactly the lovable type
But his love is a love without ending
That is the way we need to be living
'cause it's easy to love friendly people
but it's hard when they're nasty and rude
When someone is upset and demanding
instead of anger, try understanding
As wide as the blue sky
As deep as the sea
As tall as a mountain
That is how my God loves me
As bright as a rainbow
That's what my life will be
As long as I'm sharing
The love God put inside of me
Love's a kind word you say to a neighbor
Love's a hand that you lend to a friend
Love's a hug that you give to another
Maybe your sister, maybe your brother
You can love with you smiles and laughter
You can love with your actions and deeds
Just remember that everyone needs it
That's why the father sent his son Jesus
Repeat CHORUS
RESPONSIBILITY
Galatians 6:4-5 - Italy
You're never too young to do your part
There's lots that you can do
Like washing your hands before you eat
Or putting on your shoes
Everyone needs to lend a hand
To make a house a home
You'll make your mom and dad real glad
And also please Dio*
You may not feel important
With jobs that are so small
Sometimes you may feel like nobody
notices at all
But you can earn the trust of your entire family
Just by showing responsibility
You could decide to feed the dog
Or empty out the trash
Quit making noise, pick up your toys
Before you're even asked
You could climb into bed on time
without making a fuss
These are just a few ways
You can show you're growing up
Repeat CHORUS
You can be a blessing all the way from A to Z
Just by taking responsibility
*God
WHEN YOU GET DOWN, LOOK UP!
Lamentations 3:23 - Ireland
Got to be loyal
Got to be true
to the promises that you make
Show everybody
they can count on you
'cause you do what you say
When you need someone you can trust
remember God is that for us
Look up!
to the Father of creation
Look up!
To the Heavens high above
Send a prayer
He's always there
To shower you with love
When you get down, look up!
Got to be faithful
Got to be there
for the people you call your friends
Love one another
like God loves you
With a love that never ends
If you feel you're love running out
remember who's beyond the clouds
CHORUS
BE BRAVE
2 Timothy 1:7 - Russia
There might be a bully who's pushy and loud
picking on someone and acting mean
You can go along to fit in with the crowd
or stand up for a person who's in need
If you think you need a little help
then go and find a grown-up you can tell
Be brave
Be brave
And be somebody's friend
Do the thing that's right
You'll be glad in the end
Be brave
Be brave
It's gonna be OK
Remember Bog* is with you and be brave, brave, brave!
Maybe it's the dentist or doctor you fear
Maybe it's what goes bump in the night
Maybe things that seem unfamiliar and weird
fill your tummy full of butterflies
When you've got a problem that is hard
remember that Eesys** knows your heart
Be brave
Be brave
and say a little prayer
When you talk to the Lord
you won't be quite as scared
Be brave
Be brave
Whenever you're afraid
Remember Bog is with you and be brave, brave, brave!
* God

COMPASSION IS ALWAYS IN FASHION
Colossians 3:12 - France
Compassion is always in fashion
Kindness is totally cool
Caring is all about sharing
Allow us to present the golden rule
Try putting yourself in someone else's shoes
Then do for them what you would want
them to do for you
'cause compassion is always in fashion
Kindness is totally cool
Compassion is always in fashion
Friendship is always in style
When you see somebody who's lonely
Be ready with a kind word and a smile
Be helpful when someone needs a little hand
Turn sadness into happiness
any way you can
'cause compassion is always in fashion
Kindness is totally cool
A LAMP UNTO MY FEET
Psalm 119:105 - Turkey
Hazreti Asi*
Leading me and guiding me
Hazreti Asi
A lamp unto my feet
Hazreti Asi
Leading me and guiding me
Hazreti Asi
A lamp unto my feet
Growing up there are so many twists and turns
I need someone helping me
to choose right from wrong
North, South, East, West
Left and right and in and out and
Up, down, all around
I will sing this song
Repeat CHORUS
On the path there are so many ways to go
I only have two feet
How will they know the way?
Here, there, what, where
Many things are calling to me
When I cannot decide
Then I need to pray
Repeat CHORUS
Jesus Jesus
Leading me and guiding me
Jesus Jesus
A lamp unto my feet
Jesus Jesus
Leading me and guiding me
Jesus Jesus
A lamp unto my feet

GARDEN OF GRATITUDE
Ephesians 5:20 - Japan
Kami Sama*
Giver of all life
Land and water
Air that we breathe
Lord make my love for you
A garden of gratitude
Growing faithfully with every deed
Kami Sama

Fall and summertime
Winter and spring
Lord I will plant for you
A garden of gratitude
Singing praises for all you bring
Kami Sama
Giver of beauty
Sound and color
Music and light
Lord turn my life into
A garden of gratitude
Like a flower gentle and bright
* God
DON'T BE A GRUDGE BUG
Colossians 3:13 - Bolivia
When your feelings get hurt by somebody
It is natural to get upset
But remember we all need some mercy
It is best to forgive and forget
'cause we all do stuff we wish we hadn't
It is human to make a mistake
And it helps when someone is forgiving
And says "Hey, you're my friend. It's OK."
Don't be a grudge bug
Don't be a grudge bug
Don't pout around like a sour grumpy Gus
Don't be a grudge bug
Don't be a grudge bug
It's better to make up and give a big hug
When somebody tells you that they're sorry
'cause they know that they did something wrong
It's no good to be mean and stay angry
Give a smile, let it go, and move on
You could stay mad and walk around frowning
But that isn't a good way to live
Just the way that we have been forgiven
Is how Dios* wants us to forgive
CHORUS
Don't be a grudge bug
Don't be a grudge bug
Don't be a crankpot and make a big fuss
Don't be a grudge bug
Don't be a grudge bug
It's better to make up and give a big hug
*God
SMOOTH SEAS
James 1:4 - Tahiti
A teacher who is easy is doing you no favors
To try your hardest takes much more than luck
Smooth seas don't make for skillful sailors
If you face a challenge don't give up
Learning to play a
musical instrument
takes practice and patience and energy and time
But pretty soon you
are playing melodies
It's a piece of cake if you just try
When at first you don't see results
like you were hoping for
That's when you should turn your effort
up a little more
CHORUS
Learning a sport can
be so discouraging
At first you're the worst player on the team
But in a while you
will get the hang of it
and help your teammates on to victory
When at first you don't succeed
just keep giving your best
A little perseverance and I'm sure
you'll pass the test
CHORUS
WALK THE TALK
Isaiah 1:16-17 - India
Walk the talk
Walk the talk
Do what you say you'll do
Always tell the truth
Walk the talk
Walk the talk
Walk the talk
Walk the talk
Honesty
Is the best policy
Walk the talk
Walk the talk
Walk the talk
Walk the talk
Do what you know is right
In Iswar's* sight
Walk the talk
Walk the talk
*God
I WANT I WANT I WANT
Matthew 6:9-13 - Germany
No matter what we've got
It seems we all want more
There's always something really cool
when you go to the store
But it's not right to whine and stomp
until you get your way
and only ask for selfish things
when you kneel down to pray
I want I want I want
That's not how to pray
It's better to give thanks
It's better to give praise
I want I want I want
If you still have to ask
You might want to remember
that it's Gott's* love that will last
You might talk to Gott when
you've got a friend who's sad
You might apologize to him
'cause you did something bad
or you might tell him he's the best
I know he'd love to hear
and tell Gott "Hey, thanks a lot!"
next time you have his ear
Repeat CHORUS
*God
YOU CAN'T OUT GIVE THE GIVER
Acts 20:35 - Israel
Hashem B'Ndiv*
You can't out give the giver
Hashem B'Ndiv
You can't out give the giver
He will take the things you give
and always multiply
You can't out give the giver
The giver of all life
God loves a cheerful giver
He loves a gift that's given from the heart
There's no way we can lose
showing generosity
Remember it is more blessed
to give than to receive
CHORUS
It always feels good sharing
That's the surest way to see a smile
and there's no running out
when you give away your love
The God who sees your thoughtfulness
will always fill you up
CHORUS
*God is generous
PATIENCE
Romans 8:25 - South Africa
Some things in life take time
You cannot rush them
Like that seed you plant
In the yard outside your room
It may take days and weeks
and seem like forever
But all in God's good time
that flower's gonna bloom
You gotta have patience (patience)
Patience (patience)
Good things come to those
who wait upon the Lord
You gotta have patience (patience)
Patience (patience)
Whatever God has planned is worth waiting for
Try not to interrupt
when others are talking
Don't take cookies out
when it's almost dinner time
I know it's hard to wait
when you're really wanting something
But the penny in the bank
will one day be a dime, if you only...
CHORUS
Maybe it rained or the sky was blue
Maybe it was the weekend or a day at school
Maybe I played with friends or just by myself
or gave mom a hand when she needed some help
If it was work or a whole lotta fun
I have to say when the night has come
What a marvelous day
A day that the Lord God made
As I look back on the things I did
I will rejoice and be glad for it
for this wonderful, marvelous day
that the Lord God made
Maybe it snowed or the sun was hot
Maybe I rode my bicycle or walked the dog
Maybe I watched some TV or read a book
or got back a grade for a test that I took
If there were tears or a whole lotta laughs
I have to say when the night comes back
CHORUS
Have you seen the mother hen in the barn
and her chickadees all over the farm
tweet tweet tweet tweet tweet they always say
'til mommy gathers them at the end of the day
Comfort for sleepy heads
Children nestled in their beds
Mothers never rest
Until the chicks are in the nest
Have you seen the mother trumpeter swan
and her cygnets swimming out on the pond
beep beep beep beep beep they toot around
then mommy gathers them when the sun goes down
CHORUS
God is like that too
He comforts and protects his children
But instead of just one family of kids
He's got about six billion
So when mamma sees you stifling a yawn
and says pajamas are what you should put on
Snore snore snore snore snore It's time for sleep
and momma knows exactly how much you need
CHORUS
Every night
when I'm asleep
God is awake
God is awake
He's got his eye
ever on me
God is awake
God is awake
The sun may set to take a rest
but God won't take a break
I can close my eyes
God is awake
Whenever the crickets
are singing their song
God is awake
God is awake
Every minute
all night long
God is awake
God is awake
The day is through
for me and you
But He's still on the case
I can close my eyes
God is awake
Since He never slumbers
There's no need to be afraid
I can close my eyes
I can close my eyes
I can close my eyes
God is awake
BIG DREAMS
Genesis 28:12-13, Matthew 1:20
Imagine a giant stairway
Reaching to heaven above
Imagine angels going up and down
and the Lord making a promise in love
God you are Lord of me
Even when I sleep
I want to dream big dreams
I want to dream of heavenly things
Lord lift me up and give me wings
I want to dream big dreams
Every night as I'm sleeping
Pictures come into my mind
Lord, just like Jacob in his stairway dream
Surround me with your angels tonight
I want to live for you
Even when I snooze
CHORUS
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS INSTEAD OF SHEEP
Colossians 2:7b
It used to be when I couldn't sleep
People would tell me to count some sheep
I would count and count but still be awake
Tossing and turning the night away
One night my folks said try this idea
At first it might seem a little weird
Count the things you have to be thankful for
You can't run out 'cause there's always more
Count your blessings instead of sheep
Soon you'll be snoring, loud and deep
If you want to drift off happily to sleep
Count your blessings instead of sheep
I started counting the ones I love
Then counted my room and all of my stuff
I think I was counting my socks and shoes
When I dropped off to the land of snooze
CHORUS
Take my advice when you're lying there
Instead of sheep try a little prayer
Count your blessings taking them all to God
Soon you'll be sawing a ton of logs
CHORUS
GOD PLEASE BLESS OUR HOME TONIGHT
Psalm 67:1
God please bless our home tonight
Keep us safe from harm
Send us angels from on high
Oh God please bless our home tonight
God please bless my family
Everyone I love
Hold us gently while we sleep
Oh God please bless my family
God please bless our home tonight
Give us peace and rest
Keep us ever in your sight
Oh God please bless our home tonight
My God please bless our home tonight
JESUS IS THE NIGHTLIGHT IN MY HEART
John 8:12
When the sun goes down
and the shadows creep
Sometimes I find it hard to sleep
So I say a prayer to Jesus Christ
I close my eyes
and his love shines
Jesus is the nightlight in my heart
Brighter than a moonbeam
Brighter than a star
I never have to be afraid of the dark
Jesus is the nightlight in my heart
When it's time to snooze
sometimes I get scared
with the shadows dancing everywhere
But then I remember He is Lord
And I'm not frightened
any more
CHORUS
Tomorrow can be a scary place
'cause it's full of uncertainty
But today is the day that you're living in
and that's the only place you need to be
Don't let night time fears get the best of you
In the morning His mercies will be new
Tomorrowland
Tomorrowland
Don't worry 'cause it's in God's hands
Just trust in Him
'cause He has a plan
& He'll be with you in tomorrowland
Is there a test that you have to take
or a tryout for the soccer team?
Maybe there's a new school that you're going to
or maybe someone new you have to meet
Things we lie in bed worrying about
Look better the minute the sun comes out
CHORUS
Most of the things we're afraid of
never happen anyway
and pretty soon tomorrow
is yesterday
CHORUS
LAND OF GOODNIGHT
Proverbs 3:24
When I get tired
and don't want to sleep
Afraid of the fun I might miss
The rest that I need
is by God's design
A place called the Land of Goodnight
God sets the sun
down in the sky
to tell me it's time to be still
and pretty soon
I'm rubbing my eyes
It's off to the land of Goodnight
While the moon and stars
are beaming up above
God is everywhere
Surrounding me with love
The hours roll by
I slumber away
Renewing my strength as I dream
then God wakes me up
with morning's first light
back home from the Land of Goodnight
back home from the Land of Goodnight

Psalm 23:1-2a & Psalm 139:12
The sun goes down
The nighttime falls
Another day is done
Even still the night shines like the day
For darkness is as light to you
You are Lord of all
Even as I dream the night away
Jesus make green pastures for my bed
I'll lay down and rest my weary head
You're my shepherd all the day
Even while I rest
Jesus make green pastures for my bed
I lie down and sleep in peace
Safe and sound and snug
Knowing you are watching over me
Your love is reaching through the night
Embracing each of us
In you I will find the rest I need
Repeat Chorus
Jesus make green pastures for my bed
When you close your sleepy eyes tonight
Remember angels are watching
Watching over you
like they always do
Heaven's warriors will keep you
Dream of angels

But heaven's light is far brighter
They defend the light
All through the night
His gentle guardians won't leave you
(the Father's angels)

In fields as they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Shining in the east beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.

are
Gifts from God
Just look around

Your dog or your cat
Right down to the air that you breath
Every single little piece of your stuff
and all the people that you love
are

But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

and his love for me and you
Spread God's love right on through
