It’s a lazy life living in a zoo Sitting and eating, nothing else to do It’s a lonely life waiting in your house For God to come over and to call you out! Come on! Ay-yi-yi Let’s go out Ay-yi-yi live love out Ay-yi-yi if you dare Ay-yi-yi-yi it’s a jungle out there! Tiger on the prowl: Grrrr! Monkey in the tree: Oo oo ee ee! God is calling us out: Come on! To love courageously!

When I’m happy and feeling good It’s easy for me to act like I should But when I’m angry or feeling sad, It’s hard to do good when I feel bad Whatever I’m feeling, happy or sad Whatever I’m feeling, good or bad Whatever I’m feeling run through my mind God help me to be kind. When I’m singing a song of victory Or losing the game and clinching my teeth…rrrrrrrrr!

Take a brick. Take some mud Come on friends, stack them up We’re building a home of hope and love Take some walls. Add a roof Build with love. It’s what we do! We’re building a home of hope and love Hammer! Hammer! Hammer! (Hammer hammer hammer!) Saw! Saw! Saw! (Saw saw saw!) Hoping! Hoping! Hoping! (Hoping hoping hoping!) In God’s love for us all!

Nebuchadnezzar (doo doo da loo) Can I call you Nebu? Nebu, please try to understand! Nebuchadnezzar Can I call you, Nebu? Nebu, we’ll never worship you! We know you built a statue of yourself made all in gold rising high above the city, for all the people to behold, We know the others are impressed, which makes us kind of odd but the only one we’ll worship is the Lord our God! We know you built a furnace Got it burning really hot, hot, hot to scare us into turning away from our God And though it may look easy it’s something we’d regret. Some days being faithful means you got to sweat! We’re sorry Nebu, you’re not used to hearing "no" but I’ll tell you, you can’t buy our faith with gold. We’re sorry Nebu, but if you want an honest friend, Roast them s’mores by the fire And don’t try to throw them in!!!!! Because Marshmallows get hot hot hot And the chocolate melts melts melts Marshmallows get hot hot hot And the chocolate melts melts melts Marshmallows get hot hot hot And the chocolate melts melts melts Marshmallows get hot hot hot hot hot And the chocolate melts melts melts melts melts melts!

Is that a lion that I hear? Or an angry zombie deer? Did my flashlight disappear? I can hear it drawing near!!! Through the wind and the rain, Through the fire and the flames, God’s love is still the same, and we will not be afraid! I don’t need a sword or spear when the Giant’s drawing near For my God is always here. I have nothing left to fear!

I was a fisherman, always out there fishing. Then Jesus came and called my name, And that’s how I became a Disciple, disciple, I put down my net And picked me up a Bible, Bible, And the good news that I heard I’m now telling you Now I’m feeding the hungry, healing the sick Giving hope to those in prison, And I’m gonna stick with it Because I’m a

God's Eyes 02:47
God’s eyes are brighter than the sun God’s arms are stronger than the storm Our God who found us in the dark Will hold us forevermore When the rain falls, drip drip dripping on our head In the dark night, when we can’t see what’s ahead… Our faith tells us instead

I may feel like a flea hopping around, trying to be seen But I don’t need any wings My God already loves me I could fly like a butterfly, Light up the night like a firefly Climb up in a tree and call your name “Hey Jesus!” But you will love me just the same! I may feel like a gnat I’m never heard, only swatted at But I don’t need you to hear me sing My God already loves me I could buzz like a bumble bee and join the cricket symphony Climb up in a tree and call your name “Hey Jesus!” But you will love me just the same! So I gathered all the ants and ticks and flies Grasshoppers, crickets, and other passersby A hornet even brought a wasp Even bugs have to carry their cross!

I was dropped in the river before I could swim Clinging to the basket I was floating in I was pulled by the promise of God The Lord spoke to me from a burning flame God gave me a job, and gave me a name I was pulled by the promise of God The promise of God will pull on you like an old cow caught in a lasso loop Following, leading, and carrying on From the ranch to the great beyond Up on the mountain, God gave us the Law To love one another and through it all We’ll be pulled by the promise of God

How many many many many many many many many times? How many many many many many many many many times? How many times must I forgive? I gotta forgive as I’m forgiven. That’s how many many many many many many times. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 times Times 1 2 3 4 5 6 70 times! How many times must I forgive? I gotta forgive as I’m forgiven. That’s how many many many many many many times. If you're my brother or my sister, father or mother, I gotta forgive her. If he’s friendly or an enemy, God help me forgive So many many many many many many many times. How many many many many many many many times? How many times must I forgive? I gotta forgive as I’m forgiven, That’s how many many many many many many times.

Baby, waiting, planning, staging all to bring you home. Baby, sweetly, come to meet me, I'm the one who's smiling. Baby sleeping, swaddled to me, long as arms can hold. Baby given, gift of heaven, God to mom and me.
