Praising God
Each day we take time to pray and sing to God.
Here are some of our favorite prayers and songs!
"God Our Father"
(Sung to Frere Jacques)
God, our Father, God, our Father,
Once again, Once again,
We are here to thank you.
We are here to thank you.
Amen. Amen.
"God is Great"
God is great, God is good.
And we thank him for our food.
By his hand, we are fed.
Give us God our daily bread.
"Johnny Appleseed"
Oh, the Lord is good to me.
And so I thank the Lord,
For giving me the things I need,
The sun and the rain and the appleseed.
The Lord is good to me.
(Children love to crouch on the floor like a seed
and then pretend to grow or shrink as the song goes!)
Read your Bible, pray every day,
pray every day, pray every day,
Read your Bible, pray every day,
And you will grow, grow, grow!
And you will grow, grow, grow!
And you will grow, grow, grow!
Read your Bible, pray every day,
And you will grow, grow, grow!
Neglect your Bible, forget to pray,
forget to pray, forget to pray
Neglect your Bible, forget to pray,
And you will shrink, shrink, shrink!
And you will shrink, shrink, shrink!
And you will shrink, shrink, shrink!
Neglect your Bible, forget to pray,
And you will shrink, shrink, shrink!
Read your Bible, pray every day,
pray every day, pray every day,
Read your Bible, pray every day,
And you will grow, grow, grow!
And you will grow, grow, grow!
And you will grow, grow, grow!
Read your Bible, pray every day,
And you will grow, grow, grow!
God be in my left arm.
God be in my right arm.
God be in my whole life.
Thanks be to God.
Amen.
Walk, walk walk with Jesus every day.
Talk, talk, talk with Jesus on the way.
Hear, hear, hear what Jesus has to say.
Walk, talk, hear:
JESUS! (whisper)
Go now in peace
Go now in peace
May the love of God surround you
Everywhere, everywhere
You may go.
O, God hear my cry, listen to my prayer.
From the end of the earth, I will cry out to you when my heart is overwhelmed.
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, higher and higher
O, lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For you have been a shelter for me, a strong tower from the enemy.
And I will live with you in your house forever.
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, higher and higher.
O, lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
"Jesus You Are My Best Friend"
Jesus your my best, best friend
Jesus your my best, best friend
You are always beside me and your love never ends.
Jesus your my best, best friend
Sometimes I stumble and life starts to crumble
But you're always there when I need you
Jesus your my best, best friend
Jesus your my best, best friend
You are always beside me and your love never ends.
Jesus your my best, best friend
