Everything we do and say
Everything we do and say,
We are sowing seeds.
And the kind of seeds we sow
Will be what we grow.
How we play—what we say—
Every deed, every word, each and every day—
Every day in every way,
We are sowing seeds.
If I whine or tell a lie—
That is sowing WEEDS!
I would rather use good words
And sow healthy SEEDS.
When I’m grown what I’ve sown
All will see—look at me!
I have planted carefully!
Every day in every way,
We are sowing seeds!
God Had a Man
To carry out His plan in that day; to the land they should return!
Daniel prayed, his heart yearned.
With his window opened toward Jerusalem, land of his Lord.
Seventy years - three times a day, Daniel faithfully prayed.
For God’s own sake petition making.
Yes, praying boldly when it had been forbidden.
Prayer makes the plan of God go forward;
Young Daniel took this way; for God’s move he did pray.

When we cheerfully obey!
Obey our folks today. (today)
When we say, “Amen!” we honor them,
Let’s cheerfully obey!

I’ve Got a River of Life
I’ve got a river of life flowing within me;
it makes the lame to walk and the blind to see.
It opens prison doors, sets the captives free.
I’ve got a river of life flowing within me.
Chorus:
Spring up, O well, within my spirit!
Rise up and tell, so all can hear it!
Spring up, O well, so I experience
That life abundantly.
I’ve got a river of life flowing within me;
it started gushing up when God set me free.
That I keep the flow is my only plea.
I’ve got a river of life springing within me.
Once I call His name there’s a flow within;
it turns me from my day, makes him Lord again.
As my spirit burns, Satan cannot win.
Calling, “Oh Lord Jesus,” keeps the flow within.
I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy
I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in my heart, Down in my heart, Down in my heart,
I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in my heart, Down in my heart to stay.
And I’m so happy, So very happy;
I’ve got the love of Jesus in my heart.
And I’m so happy, So very happy,
I’ve got the love of Jesus in my heart.
Jesus’ love is sweet and wonderful
Jesus’ love is sweet and wonderful,
Jesus’ love is sweet and wonderful,
Jesus’ love is sweet and wonderful,
Oh, wonderful love!
So high, you can’t get over it.
So low, you can’t get under it.
So wide, you can’t get around it.
Oh, wonderful love!
Jesus loves the little children
Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white,
All are precious in His sight,
Jesus loves the little children of the world.
Jesus Passed By The Sea
Jesus passed by the sea of Galilee
Saw Simon and Andrew casting nets in the sea
Said: come after me! I’ll cause you to be
Fishers of men - Immediately!
Immediately! Immediately!
When Jesus calls, follow, immediately!
We’ll follow Him, YES! His way is the best;
When Jesus calls, follow, immediately!
Lord, today, keep my heart
Lord, today, keep my heart,
Keep it all the day.
While I’m young, keep my heart
Soft, dear Lord, I pray;
Lord, I would keep my heart through everyday
Soft and open unto You.
Oh, I’m just too young…
Oh, I’m just too young to drive a car,�Build a bridge or take a rocket to a star.�But I’m not too young to speak to God.�I’m certainly not too young to speak to God.
Oh, I’m just too young to drive a car,�Build a bridge or take a rocket to a star.�But I’m not too young to thank the Lord.�I’m certainly not too young to thank the Lord.
Only A Boy Named David
Only a boy named David, only a little sling,
only a boy named David, but he could pray and sing.
Only a boy named David, only a rippling brook,
only a boy named David, but five little stones he took.
And one little stone went in the sling,
and the sling went round and round.
And one little stone went in the sling,
and the sling went round and round,
and round and round and round and round,
and round and round and round.
And one little stone went up in the air,
and the giant came tumbling down.
Open up to Your Parents
Open up to your parents, open up. �Open up to your parents, open up.�For you know your parents love you,�They’re the best ones who can help you,�But it’s up to you to come and open up. Come and tell your troubles to them, open up.�Come and tell your troubles to them, open up.�Let them know how you are feeling,�For you know that they are caring�About everything you’re sharing, open up. (Tune to “She’ll be coming around the mountain”) |
Our God is Living
Our God is living, He’s not a statue,
Our God can see us, our God can hear, too.
He’s not an idol of gold or silver,
We serve the God who’s real and true!
He is the Most High, God of the heavens;
He holds our breath and rules heaven’s army;
The God of gods and the Lord of kings, too—
He can overrule the king’s decree!
Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness
And all these things shall be added unto you
Hallelu, Hallelujah!

There is a name I love to hear
There is a name I love to hear,
I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in mine ear,
The sweetest name on earth. Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me!
There is a Part Inside of Me
There’s a part inside of me—�It’s my conscience, and I see,�If I listen and obey,�I will be preserved this way.
Yes, I will listen,�Yes, to my conscience;�If I will listen,�Then I will be preserved.

Twelve Apostles
Jesus called His twelve disciples,
Gave to them authority
O’ver the unclean, every sickness,
Sent them forth to heal disease.
Simon Peter, Andrew, his brother,
Two sons of Zebedee, James and John.
Philip and Bartholomew, then
Thomas, Matthew, chosen ones.
Then came James, the son of Alphaeus,
Thaddaeus, and Simon, the zealous one;
Judas Iscariot, replaced by Matthias,
Twelve apostles’ work begun.

Zaccheus Was a Wee Little Man
Zacchaeus was a wee little man
And a wee little man was he
He climbed up in a sycamore tree
For the Lord he wanted to see
And when the Savior passed that way
He looked up in the tree
And said, 'Zacchaeus, you come down!
For I'm going to your house today!
For I'm going to your house today!'
Zacchaeus was a wee little man
But a happy man was he
For he had seen the Lord that day
And a happy man was he;
And a very happy man was he

When I look, I can see I’m just fine.
I’m designed perfectly,
Don’t need change, no sir-ee!
This same face has been in style
A long, long time.
Ears that hear, they’re so dear!
Nose to smell, very well!
And two eyes taking pictures constantly (click, click).
With my mouth I can feed,
Drink and sing, pray and read,
Thank You, Lord, You made me
WONDERF’LLY!

Only God was there!
Abraham - Hospitality (Gen 18)
Have you ever ever ever had hospitality
Had to help with dinner or make iced tea
Had to clean up your room or even sleep on the floor
While visitors were coming in through your front door?
Be like Abraham (Ham!)�Who ran to meet (Meet!)
Three men and offered to wash their feet (Feet!)
God Himself was one of those three! (Three!)
Abraham was giving hospitality. (Tea!)
