My goal is to have a new video next week, but maybe I should do this song here. We sang this at VBS a couple of weeks ago, and after the first verse, not many kids knew it! What is wrong with these kids? I’ve Got the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy By George W. Cooke I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy Down in my heart, Down in my heart,  Down in my heart, I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy Down in my heart,  Down in my heart to stay. Chorus And I’m so happy, so very happy I’ve got the love of Jesus in my heart,  Down in my heart, And I’m so happy, so very happy, I’ve got the love of Jesus in my heart. I’ve got the love of Jesus, love of Jesus  Down in my heart, Down in my heart,  down in my heart, I’ve got the love of Jesus, love of Jesus  Down in my heart,  Down in my heart to stay. Chorus   I’ve got the peace that passes understanding  Down in my heart, Down in my heart,  Down in my heart...

The still shot in this video says so much about these kids. They are going into high school in the fall. The one on the right? He looks like he could be a freshman in college and absolutely no one would question it! I’ve Got Peace Like a River I’ve got peace like a river (2x) I’ve got peace like a river in my soul. I’ve got peace like a river (2x) I’ve got peace like a river in my soul. I’ve got love like the ocean (2x) I’ve got love like the ocean in my soul. I’ve got love like the ocean (2x) I’ve got love like the ocean in my soul. I’ve got joy like a fountain (2x) I’ve got joy like a fountain in my soul. I’ve got joy like a fountain (2x) I’ve got joy like a fountain in my soul. I’ve got peace like a river. I’ve got love like the ocean. I’ve got joy like a fountain in my soul. I’ve got peace like a river. I’ve got love like the ocean. I’ve got joy like a fountain in my soul.

New videos coming soon... My teaching week got pushed this month because of everyone else's vacations. In the meantime, enjoy this throwback! One time I found another verse about the animals coming out in threesies.  First of all, the Bible doesn't say they came out with babies.  Secondly, it's not my job to explain about the birds and beezies, beezies . Rise and Shine The Lord said to Noah: there’s gonna be a floody, floody The Lord said to Noah:  there’s gonna be a floody, floody Get those children out of the muddy, muddy,  children of the Lord Chorus: So, rise and shine, and give God the glory, glory Rise and shine, and give God the glory, glory Rise and shine, and give God the glory, glory children of the Lord The Lord told Noah to build him an arky, arky The Lord told Noah to build him an arky, arky Build it out of gopher barky, barky,  children of the Lord Chorus The animals, they came in, they came in by ...

Sorry you hear me A LOT on this one! This is the last video from this group. They actually promoted this week, but I had one video left to share.   Three Wandering Jews Once there were three wandering Jews, Once there were three wandering Jews. Wandering, wandering, Jew, Jew, Jews. Wandering, wandering, Jew, Jew, Jews. Once there were three wandering Jews. The first one’s name was Abraham. The first one’s name was Abraham.

 Another throwback, but I should have new videos next week! I’ve Been Redeemed I’ve been redeemed. (girls echo) By the blood of the Lamb. (echo) I’ve been redeemed, (echo) By the blood of the Lamb. I’ve been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, Filled with the Holy Ghost I am! All my sins are washed away, I’ve been redeemed. Well, I went down,  to the river to pray… Felt so good that I stayed all day… And that’s not all, there’s more beside… I’ve been to the river and I’ve been baptized…             My God and I, we both agree… That I love Him and He loves me… The devil and I, we both agree… That I hate him and he hates me…

I'm back to a few weeks of flashback videos until I teach again. Then, I'm going to have to get a bunch of videos at once because my teaching schedule is off whack thanks to everyone else's summer schedule. At a teacher's meeting, I was the only one who had absolutely nothing to work around. I really need a vacation! That's what I need! Roll the Gospel Chariot Along Roll the gospel chariot along We will roll the gospel chariot along We will roll the gospel chariot along And we won't tag along behind. If a Brother's in the way We will stop and pick him up If a Brother's in the way We will stop and pick him up If a Brother's in the way We will stop and pick him up And we won't tag along behind.

This is the first time I have ever posted a video of this song! The kids were supposed to come to class with a song that had either a fish or a bird in it, and this was one of the picks.  Our family minister taught the song in VBS a couple of years ago, but the song goes a little further than what we knew. The Sea of Galilee There’s a Sea of Galilee (2x) There’s a sea.  There’s a sea. There’s a Sea of Galilee. There’s a boat on the Sea of Galilee (2x) There’s a boat.  There’s a boat. There’s a boat on the Sea of Galilee. There are men in the boat on the Sea of Galilee (2x) There are men.  There are men. There are men in the boat on the Sea of Galilee. There are hands on the men in the boat on the Sea of Galilee. (2x) There are hands.  There are hands. There are hands on the men in the boat on the Sea of Galilee.

They had to pick a song with a grass, flower, or tree. This was one of the choices. 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 came passing by, He looked up in the tree And he said, “Zacchaeus, you come down!” For I’m going to your house today. For I’m going to your house today. Zacchaeus was a very little man, But a happy man was he, For he had seen the Lord that day And a happy man was he; And a very happy man was he.

Creation Song Day one, day one God made light when there was none, Day one, day one God made light when there was none. Day two, day two God made clouds and skies of blue Day two, day two God made clouds and skies of blue Day three, day three God made grass and flowers and trees Day three, day three God made grass and flowers and trees Day four, day four God made sun, moon and stars galore Day four, day four God made sun, moon and stars galore Day five, day five God made birds and fish alive Day five, day five God made birds and fish alive Sixth day, sixth day God made animals and man that day, Sixth day, sixth day God made animals and man that day.

This song is one of the reasons I am going to go back to making a list and only doing one video a year! I think we did it a couple of times last year, and I reshared for a total of like four posts in 2020. Here's our latest take! Sanctuary By John W. Thompson; © Kruger Organisation Used by permission. CCLI # 1132191 (girls echo) Oh Lord prepare me, to be a sanctuary Pure and holy, tried and true. With thanksgiving, I’ll be a living Sanctuary for You. It was you Lord, who sent the Savior Heart and soul Lord, to every man. It is you Lord, who knows my weakness, You refine me with Your own hand. Lead me on Lord, through my temptations You refine me from within Fill our hearts with the Holy Spirit, And take all our sins away. Lord teach Your children, t o stop the fighting, And start uniting, all as one. Let’s get together, loving forever Sanctuary, for You. And when He comes with shouts of glory And our work on earth is done O, how I long to hear Him saying, “Faithful servant well don...

I Will Call Upon the Lord By Michael O’Shields I will call upon the Lord,  (women echo) Who is worthy to be praised  (echo) So shall I be saved from my enemies  (echo) Chorus The Lord liveth, and blessed be the Rock, And let the God of our salvation be exalted. (repeat) Jesus Christ who died for me,  (echo) And He took away my sins  (echo) I will live with Him for eternity  (echo) Chorus I will call upon the Lord…  (end in unison)

Step by Step Oh God, you are my God, and I will ever praise you. Oh God, you are my God, and I will ever praise you. I will seek you in the morning, and I will learn to walk in your ways. And step by step you'll lead me, and I will follow you all of my days. And I will follow you all of my days. And I will follow you all of my days. And step by step you'll lead me, and I will follow you all of my days.

This song is one of the reasons I started doing videos of different children's songs. At the time, this was one of the few songs the kids always sang.  We've gotten in a bit of a rut with the same songs again when making videos which is why so many songs get posted so often. When the next group of kids promote up, I'm going to make a list and not do the same video for 52 weeks. I Want to be Like Daniel, I Want to be Like Ruth (Boys) I want to be like Daniel… (Girls) I want to be like Ruth… (Boys) I want to be like Daniel… (Girls) I want to be like Ruth… (Girls) For Ruth was so, so, sweet and kind (Boys) And Daniel was a mighty man (Boys) I want to be like Daniel. (Girls) I want to be like Ruth.

Hippopotamus Song In the beginning, God made the sea And the forest filled with trees He made the mountains up so high And on the top he placed the sky God’s fingerprints are everywhere Just to show how much He cares But in between He had loads of fun He made a hippo who weighs a ton. Chorus Hip-hip-hip-hippopotamus! Hip-hip-hooray! God made all of us. Hip-hip-hip-hippopotamus! Hip-hip-hooray! God made all of us. Creation sings of His praise, The sparrow and the tiny babe. We can sing and say, “well done.” But some things He just made for fun! Chorus In the end He had lots of fun. He made a kangaroo that jumps and runs. Kanga-kanga-kangaroo. Hip-hip-hurray God made me and you. Kanga-kanga-kangaroo. Hip-hip-hurray God made me and you. In the end He had lots of fun. He made a manatee just for fun. Mana-mana-manatee. Hip-hip-hurray God made you and me. Mana-mana-manatee. Hip-hip-hurray God made you and me.

I’m Happy Today I’m happy today Oh yes, I’m happy today In Jesus Christ, I’m happy today Because He’s taken all my sins away And that’s why I’m happy today. I’m singing today Oh yes, I’m singing today In Jesus Christ, I’m singing today Because He’s taken all my sins away And that’s why I’m singing today. I’m praying today Oh yes, I’m praying today In Jesus Christ, I’m praying today Because He’s taken all my sins away And that’s why I’m praying today. I’m sharing my faith Oh yes, sharing my faith In Jesus Christ, sharing my faith Because He’s taken all my sins away And that’s why sharing my faith. I’m happy today Oh yes, I’m singing today In Jesus Christ, I’m praying today Because He’s taken all my sins away And that’s why I’m sharing my faith.

One more throwback for now, then I'll have some new videos once we are back in class again. I didn't have the words for "As the Deer" saved like I thought I did, but they are easy to find if you don't know the song. 

When I was a kid, we only sang the Daniel and Jonah parts of this song, but I found more verses on a website. Kids these days don't know any of the verses! I've tried it with groups after this that didn't know it.    Who Did Swallow Jonah? Who did? Who did? Who did? Who did? Who did swallow Jo-Jo-Jonah? Who did? Who did? Who did? Who did? Who did swallow Jo-Jo-Jonah? Who did? Who did? Who did? Who did? Who did swallow Jo-Jo-Jonah? Who did swallow Jonah? Who did swallow Jonah? Who did swallow Jonah… Up? The whale did. The whale did.  The whale did. The whale did. The whale did swallow Jo-Jo-Jonah The whale did. The whale did.  The whale did. The whale did. The whale did swallow Jo-Jo-Jonah The whale did. The whale did.  The whale did. The whale did. The whale did swallow Jo-Jo-Jonah The whale did swallow Jonah  The whale did. The whale did. The whale did swallow Jonah… Up!

 This was one of the last videos I recorded pre-COVID right about a year ago. I Will Call Upon the Lord By Michael O’Shields I will call upon the Lord,  (women echo) Who is worthy to be praised  (echo) So shall I be saved from my enemies  (echo) Chorus The Lord liveth, and blessed be the Rock, And let the God of our salvation be exalted.

We had ice this morning, so we were all virtual/streaming when it came to worship this morning. Two of the last six Sundays have had snow!  So, here's another throwback video! We actually closed out worship with this song this morning. Hosannna by Carl Tuttle Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest Lord we lift up Your Name, With hearts full of praise, Be exalted Oh Lord my God, Hosanna in the highest. Glory, Glory, Glory to the King of Kings Glory, Glory, Glory to the King of Kings Lord we lift up Your Name, With hearts full of praise, Be exalted Oh Lord my God, Hosanna in the highest.
