Apostles
(to the tune of "Jesus Loves Me")
Jesus called them one by one, Peter, Andrew, James and John,
Next came Philip, Thomas, too, Matthew and Bartholomew.
James the one they called the less, Simon, also Thaddeus,
The twelfth apostle Judas made, Jesus was by him betrayed.
Yes, Jesus called them, Yes, Jesus called them,
Yes, Jesus called them, The Bible tells me so.
Optional Additional
Verse Submitted by Reader
Matthias then took Judas' place
To preach to men of every race.
Paul three preaching trips did make
And went to Rome for Jesus' sake.

My God is so Great
My God is so great, so strong and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot
do.
My God is so great, so strong and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot
do.
The mountains are his, the rivers are his, the stars are His handiwork, too.
My God is so great, so strong and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot
do, for you!

Jesus Loves Me**
Jesus loves me, this I know, For the Bible tells me so.
Little ones to Him belong, They are weak but He is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me, Yes, Jesus loves me,
Yes, Jesus loves me, The Bible tells me so.
Jesus loves me, He who died, Heaven's gates to open wide,
He will wash away my sin, Let His little child come in.
Jesus loves me, loves me still, Though I'm very weak and ill,
From His shining throne on high, Comes to watch me where I lie.

If you're happy and you know it
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands,
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands,
If you're happy and you know it, then your life will surely show it,
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands!
If you're happy and you know it, stomp your feet... If you're happy
and you know it, shake your head...
If you're happy and you know it, turn around... If you're happy and

Zacchaeus 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 as the Savior passed him by, He looked up in the tree, And he
said, "Zacchaeus, you come down from there; For I'm going to your house
today, for I'm going to your house today"
Zacchaeus came down from that tree, as happy as he could be,
He gave his money to the poor, and said: "What a better man I'll be."

Only a Little Boy David
Only a boy named David, Only a little sling,
Only a boy named David, but he could pray and sing...
Only a little boy David, Only a
babbling brook.
Only a little boy David, and five little stones he took.
One little stone went into the sling, and the sling went round and
round. One little stone went into the sling, and the sling went round and
round.
Round and round, and round, and round, and round, and round, and

All the children of the world; Red and yellow, black and white,
They are precious in his sight; Jesus loves the little children of the

They are precious in his sight; Jesus died the little children of the

Keep their hearts so full of cheer; Then he'll take them home to glory

All the apostles were in a sailboat
Out on the deep blue sea.
The waves rose high and tossed the sailboat
The waves rose high and tossed the sailboat
The waves rose high and tossed the sailboat
Out on the deep blue sea.
Along came Jesus walking on the water
Along came Jesus walking on the water
Along came Jesus walking on the water
Out on the deep blue sea.
The apostles thought that Jesus was a ghost
The apostles thought that Jesus was a ghost
The apostles thought that Jesus was a ghost
And they cried out in fear.
Be of good cheer, it is I, don't be afraid
Be of good cheer, it is I, don't be afraid
Be of good cheer, it is I, don't be afraid
Jesus spoke to them
Peter started walking on the water
Peter started walking on the water
Peter started walking on the water
Then he started to sink.
Jesus helped Peter get back in the boat

Jesus helped Peter get back in the boat
Why did you lose faith?

The Prodigal Son
(Tune: Little Rabbit in the Woods)
lyrics written and contributed by Sharon Broome
Once a father had two sons
Then one left home to have some fun
The son wasted all he had
Then things got real sad
Feed me! Feed me!"
The pigs all said.
The young son thought,
This is really bad.
I'll go home say sorry
And dad's servant I'll be."
Oh, the father was so sad
Missed his young son oh so bad
Saw his son a far off
And he ran out the door the father said
Come back home and I'll be your dad.
Come my son, come on in
Please don't leave again."
The oldest brother had stayed home
Did what he should and he was bummed
The father killed a fatted cow
Why did he do this now?
I stayed! I stayed!" the old son said.
A feast for me you've never had!"
My son was lost but now he's found
So let's let love abound.

Days of Creation
(Tune: This Old Man)
lyrics written and contributed by Sharon Broome
On day one God made light
Made the difference in day and night
God just spoke the words and it came true
Wonder what else God will do?
On day two Split in two
Skies above the water blue
God just spoke the words and it came to be
What will happen on day three?
On day three God made land
Then he put plants in the sand
God made herbs and grass and fruit on the tree
This was all done on day three
On day four God made lights
Some for days and some for nights
Stars are dim, but the sun and the moon are bright
Aren't you glad that God made lights
On day five God made alive
Fish for the waters and birds for the skies
All the things that swim and birds to fly
These were made on day five
On day six God did fix
Animals, mankind and even ticks
God made lizards, cats, and other things that lick
Animals were created on day six
On day seven God in heaven
Rested from all the work he'd done
He'd made the earth, the stars, the moon, and sun
It was good what God had done

competition to see who can spell it out the fastest. You can also use sign
language spelling. Submitted by fellow teacher Tina Carter.

The Perfect Ten
submitted by Jamlee
'Neath a cloud of fire and smoke
The mighty voice of thunder spoke
as God descended to the mountain top
High upon Mt. Sinai
He gave the rules we should live by
as God gave out the "shalts" and "thou shalt nots."
Number one, we've just begin, God should be first in your life
Number two, the idol rule those graven images aren’t nice
Number three, God's name should be never spoken in jest
Number four, the Sabbath's for our worship and for rest
Number five, we all should strive to honor Father and Mother
Number six, don't get your kicks from killing one another
Number seven, life is heaven when you’re true to your mate
Number eight, don’t steal and break these rules for goodness sake
Number nine, don’t be the kind who goes around telling lies
Number ten, don’t covet when you see your neighbor’s house or wife
That's the list and God insists
we stay away from these sins
That is why we memorize commandments one through ten.
The perfect ten, the perfect ten
They're just as true as they were way back when
God gave the
The perfect ten, the perfect ten
Let's sing them once again.
The perfect ten, the perfect ten
God gave the perfect ten
One two three four five six seven eight nine
The perfect tennnnnn
Watch a YouTube video for the tune.

Are these songs in the
public domain or are they copyrighted?
Copyrights are a huge,
complex and complicated
issue. Please see my
disclaimer.
Songs marked with this
symbol** are, to my best
knowledge, documented as
in the public domain,
usually by checking the
date in cyberhymnal.org.
But I could be wrong -
and my say so won't hold
up in your court case.
Also - individual
publications,
variations, or
recordings of these
songs can be
copyrighted.
For
more information on
copyrights, see the
Library of Congress web
site at
http://www.loc.gov
or the informative web
site
www.pdinfo.com.
Do you know a song that
goes...?
If it's not up here,
probably not. But you're
still welcome to run it
by me. First, try going
to
www.google.com, type
in the phrase you
remember, and surround
that phrase with
quotation marks. You
might come up with it.
If not, try narrowing
the phrase down a bit in
case someone else
remembers it
differently.
