Hey Diddle Diddle (God is Creator) Verse 1 Hey diddle diddle, it’s God in the middle He made us, the sun and the moon; The stars in the skies, the bees in their hives, The moth coming from its cocoon. Verse 2 Hey diddle diddle, it’s really no riddle How all that’s created began. God made all we see to delight you and me, His special creation is man. Verse 3 “I’m making this creature with one special feature, His nature will be just like mine. I’ll speak as he walks, I’ll hear as he talks, Our friendship will be truly fine.” Verse 4 “Let man have dominion,” was God’s own opinion, Of creatures on earth and on sea. So God was the maker and man the caretaker In God’s royal menagerie.

God Loves You (God is Love) Do you know that God our Father loves you specially? Do you know He loves you even when you’re bad. Do you know that Father God is like the very best Dad in the world, yes He loves you specially. For God knows the number of the hairs on your head He knows how many freckles on your face, And God knows the colour of your eyes, blue or brown He knows because He made you in the first place. Do you ever wonder how the world just hangs in space? Do you ever wonder how you got to be here? Do you ever wonder who put the stars in place? Well God made everything you see. Repeat verse 1

5

Clap your hands (God is Love) I want to clap and praise the Lord, I want to shout and praise the Lord. I want to raise my hands to the living God who has poured his love on me. I want to share his love around, And tell the world of the love I’ve found. I want to tell my friends of Jesus’ love, his love so rich and free. Chorus: Clap your hands and sing, clap your hands and shout, His love so rich and free. Clap your hands and sing, clap your hands and shout, His love so rich and free.

He’s Wiser (God is Wise) Verse 1 Some people are so very clever, they can even tell the weather. Wouldn’t you like to be an inventor, or to be a wise professor? God knows more than all of these, He’s wiser than you or me. Verse 2 Astronauts are very clever Taking on a great endeavour, Flying all around in space and landing capsules in their place. God knows more than all of these, He’s wiser than you or me. Verse 3 Solomon, he was a wise king, God said ask for anything. Money was not his request, He said wisdom was the best. God gave wisdom to a king, Father God knows everything. Verse 4 God gives wisdom to his children, Shows us how to get to heaven. Jesus is the only way, Let him in your life today. Jesus is a friend and guide, He’ll be with you at your side.

Jonah and the Whale (God is wise) Verse 1 Have you ever heard the tale Of Jonah and the whale? Jonah had a job to do for the Lord. God said, “Go along to Ninevah and tell the people there, Not to break the Lord’s commandments but to turn to him in prayer. Verse 2 But Jonah was a foolish man, he disobeyed the Lord. Went down to the sea instead and tried to run away. He took a ship upon the sea, but to his dismay, He was swallowed by a whale, that’s not the end of the tale. Verse 3 For Father God is always there, he answered Jonah’s prayer. The whale he spouted Jonah out, give thanks to the Lord! Jonah went along to Ninevah to tell the people there, Not to break the Lord’s commandments but to turn to God in prayer. Verse 4 The lesson of the story is to obey the Lord. Obeying God is being wise, it’s no disguise. Jonah was a foolish man but God forgave his sin. Saved him from the whale and that’s the end of the tale.

The Lighthouse Song (God is Wise)

Verse 1 If I could be a ship on the sea, I’d sail the ocean blue, From Canada to Africa I’d safely take my crew. If I was traveling in the night I’d look for lights I knew. I’d let the lighthouse light my way and safely guide me through. Verse 2 If the sky was foggy and I couldn’t see my way, I’d fix my eyes upon the light to guide me through the day, And when the rocky shore was near, the light would show the way. I’d travel boldly without fear around the stormy bay. Verse 3 Jesus is the light and he will guide you every day, When you are in danger he’ll protect you when you pray. When you’re very frightened and you’re looking for a guide, Just fix your eyes upon God’s light and he’ll be by your side.

Out of Egypt (God is Protector) Verse 1 Way down there is Egypt land When Pharaoh was the king, The Israelites worked hard all day and they weren’t paid anything. Then God said Moses listen here My servant you shall be, To lead my children out of fear To a land where they’ll be free Verse 2 But Pharaoh answered “No, no, no No matter what you say, I cannot let God’s children go In Egypt they must stay.” So God sent frogs and grasshoppers To Egypt land that day, But Pharaoh wouldn’t change his mind In Egypt they must stay. Verse 3 Then God sent down a terrible plague, Though it broke his heart Egyptian children died that day Across the land in every part God kept his children safe and sound He protected them from the plague Above their doors a cross was found And they were not afraid. Then Moses led his people out Out of Egypt land that day God kept his children safe from harm Cause they loved him and obeyed.

The House on the Rock (God is Truth) There once was a man built his house on the sand Silly wasn’t he! His friends said, “Listen now your house won’t stand,” But the man said “Let me be.” Then down from the sky the rain came and the storm rose on the sea And up through the floor the floods came while the man was having tea. Now a wise man built his house on a rock Stable as can be. He said, “I know that my house will stand when the storms rise on the sea.” Then down from the sky the rain came while the man was having tea And the house on the rock just stood there Stable as can be. Now the foolish man who built his house on the sand had a big calamity. But the wise man knew when the cold winds blew that safe and sounds he’s be. So build your life on Jesus. He’s a sure and solid rock. His word is truth, he’s the way, he’s the life, He’s the only one for me.

Mud Pies (God is Pure) Verse 1 I like to make mud pies, and castles in the dirt, But mud gets in my eyes and sand gets in my shirt. Then Mum starts getting cross with me and says that this is not to be, “I can’t be washing clothes all day, from mud and dirt please stay away, Mud pies are not for play.” Verse 2 I like it in the bath, hot water all around. The bubbles make me laugh, so shiny big and round, Then Mum says scrub your hands and face, That mud must come off every place. You can’t just sit in there and play, You must be clean in every way, Clean in every way. Verse 3 Sometimes I disobey, and answer back my Dad. I won’t come in from play, I know I’m really bad. But when I say my prayers at night before my Dad turns out the light, I ask God to forgive me then for all the times I’ve saddened him And he makes me clean within.

16

Waiting Patiently (God is Patient) Verse 1 Have you seen a gum tree grow? No, because it’s much too slow. Little seed as small can be, takes many years to become a tree.

Waiting patiently, waiting patiently, Waiting patiently, what’s in that present I’m dying to see. Verse 4 On the slide it is so fine. Have to wait my turn in line. Pushing in is not the way, it only causes fights each day. Waiting patiently, waiting patiently, Waiting patiently, letting others go before me.

Willie Wonder (God is a servant) Verse 1 Willie Wonder was a star. He had a flashy motor car. He drove it all around the place. His boasting was a big disgrace. “Stand back, me first!” was his way. He’d never give you time of day. “Sorry I’ve got things to do, I really haven’t time for you.” Verse 2 When his mother asked for help, He’s run outside with such a yelp. “Housework’s not for me,” he said. “Mum is there to make my bed.” Willie Wonder was a star, But really he just went too far. His friends they got fed up you see And left him lonely as can be. Verse 3 The lesson Willie didn’t learn Was that friends you just can’t earn By acting like a superstar And driving around in a flashy car.
