Jesus Storybook Bible 05: Son of Laughter

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)

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

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]
