Today’s Song:  The Butterfly Song

 

If I were a butterfly,  I’d thank You Lord for giving me wings
If I were a robin in a tree,  I’d thank You Lord that I could sing
If I were a fish in the sea,  I’d wiggle my tail and I’d giggle with glee
But I just thank You, Father, for making me, me

‘Cause you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile
You gave me Lord Jesus and You made me Your child
And I just thank You, Father, for making me,

If I were an elephant, I’d thank You, Lord, by raising my trunk
If I were a kangaroo, You know I’d hop right up to You
If I were an octopus, I’d thank You, Lord, for my fine looks,

But I just thank You, Father, for making me, me

‘Cause you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile
You gave me Lord Jesus and You made me Your child
And I just thank You, Father, for making me.

If I were a wiggly worm, I’d thank You, Lord, that I could squirm
If I were a fuzzy wuzzy bear, I’d thank You, Lord, for my fuzzy wuzzy hair
If I were a crocodile, I’d thank You, Lord, for my great smile

But I just thank You, Father, for making me,

‘Cause you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile
You gave me Lord Jesus and You made me Your child
And I just thank You, Father, for making me.

Today’s Song:  Amazing Love

I’m forgiven because You were forsaken,
I’m accepted, You were condemned.
I am alive and well, Your spirit is within me,
Because You died and rose again.
(Repeat x2)

(Chorus)
Amazing love,
How can it be
That You, my King, should die for me?
Amazing love,
I know it’s true.
It’s my joy to honor You,
In all I do, I honor You.

You are my King
Jesus You are my King

Today’s story in Son of Laughter, the story of God’s promises to Abraham.

 

Today’s Song:  Standing on the Promises

1.	Standing on the promises of Christ my King, 
	through eternal ages let his praises ring; 
	glory in the highest, I will shout and sing, 
	standing on the promises of God. 
Refrain:
	Standing, standing, 
	standing on the promises of Christ my Savior; 
	standing, standing, 
	I'm standing on the promises of God. 

2.	Standing on the promises that cannot fail, 
	when the howling storms of doubt and fear assail, 
	by the living Word of God I shall prevail, 
	standing on the promises of God. 
	(Refrain) 

3.	Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord, 
	bound to him eternally by love's strong cord, 
	overcoming daily with the Spirit's sword, 
	standing on the promises of God. 
	(Refrain) 

4.	Standing on the promises I cannot fall, 
	listening every moment to the Spirit's call, 
	resting in my Savior as my all in all, 
	standing on the promises of God. 
	(Refrain)

Today’s story is about the Tower of Babel.

“A Giant Staircase to Heaven”

 

Today’s Song:  One Way God Said to Get to Heaven

 

One way, God said to get to heaven,

Jesus is the only way

There’s only one way to get to heaven

Jesus is the only way

There’s no other way,

No other way,

No other way to go,

There’s only one way to get to heaven,

Jesus is the only way.

Today’s story tells the story of Noah and the Ark.

A New Beginning

 

Commentary

 

Today’s Song:  Arky-Arky

 

(note:  this is a very silly song, but children often like it)

God told Noah: there’s gonna be a floody, floody

God told Noah: there’s gonna be a floody, floody

Get those children out of the muddy, muddy, children of the Lord

 

God told Noah to build him an arky, arky

God told Noah to build him an arky, arky

Build it out of gopher barky, barky, children of the Lord

 

The animals, they came in, they came in by twosies, twosies

The animals, they came in, they came in by twosies, twosies

Elephants and kangaroosie, roosies, children of the Lord

It rained and it rained for forty days and nights and daysies

It rained and it rained for forty days and nights and daysies

Almost drove those animals crazy, crazy, children of the Lord

Then Noah he sent out, he sent out a dovey, dovey

Noah he sent out, he sent out a dovey, dovey

Dovey said “There’s clear skies abovey-bovey”, children of the Lord

The sun came out and dried up the landy, landy

The sun came out and dried up the landy, landy

Everything was fine and dandy, dandy, children of the Lord

 

Now, this is the end of, the end of my story, story

This is the end of, the end of my story, story

Everything is hunky dory, dory, children of the Lord
So, 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

Today’s story comes from Genesis chapter 3.

02 The Terrible Lie

Commentary

Today’s Song: “Obedience”

Obedience is the very best way, to show that you be-lieve.(…)
Doing ex-actly what the Lord com-mands, doing it happi-ly.
Action is the key – do it im-mediately, joy you will re-ceive.
Obedience is the very best way to show that you be-lieve.

Chorus:
O-B-E-D-I-E-N-C-E
Obedience is the very best way to show that you be-lieve.

We want to live pure we want to live clean.
We want to do our best.(…)
Sweetly sub-mitting to authori-ty, leaving to God the rest.
Walking in the light, keep our attitudes right,
On the narrow way.
For if you believe the Word you receive,
You always will o-bey!
[Chorus]
