Jesus Storybook Bible 08: The Forgiving Prince

Today’s story tells the story of Joseph and his Brothers.

Today’s Song: God Makes No Mistakes

My life I give to You, O Lord.
Use me, I pray.
May I glorify Your precious name
In all I do and say.
Let me trust You in the valley dark
As well as in the light,
Knowing You will always lead me;
Your will is always right.

I know God makes no mistakes.
He leads in every path I take
Along the way that’s leading me to home.
Tho’ at times my heart would break,
There’s a purpose in every change He makes:
That others would see my life and know
That God makes no mistakes.

And when some day in heav’n above
I see His dear face,
May I then be counted faithful
As a runner in this race.
But now I’m trusting in the Savior
To show me the way.
In His righteousness He guides me,
As I seek to please Him day by day.

Today’s Song #2: Joseph and His Brothers

Joseph’s father had twelve sons,
Had twelve sons, had twelve sons.
Joseph’s father had twelve sons,
Oh, what a family.

Joseph’s father loved him best,
Loved him best, loved him best.
Joseph’s father loved him best,
Oh, what a family.

A coat of many colors was his pride,
Was his pride, was his pride.
A coat of many colors was his pride,
Oh, what a family.

All his brothers were so jealous,
Were so jealous, were so jealous.
All his brothers were so jealous,
Oh, what a family.

His brothers threw him in a pit,
In a pit, in a pit.
His brothers threw him in a pit,
Oh, what a family.

Egypt bought him as a slave,
As a slave, as a slave.
Egypt bought him as a slave,
Oh, what a family.

God caused a famine in the land,
In the land, in the land.
God caused a famine in the land,
Oh, what a family.

By then Joseph was a mighty man,
Mighty man, mighty man.
By then Joseph was a might man,
Oh, what a family.

His brothers came to him for food,
Him for food, him for food.
His brothers came to him for food,
Oh, what a family.

Joseph forgave and fed them all,
Fed them all, fed them all.
Joseph forgave and fed them all,
Oh, what a family.

God can use all things for good,

All things for good, all things for good,

God can use all things for good,

All for His glory!

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.

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

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

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

Elephants and kangaroosie, roosies, children of the Lord

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

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

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]
