I Am Special
03:59
|
|||
Chorus:
I am special, special, special.
God made me special;
I'm special to Him.
I'm the only one like me, for God made me specially.
He loves me just this way and I love me, I'm proud to say.
God does not make junk, you see; He loves me so perfectly
He works with me all the time and soon you'll see me really shine.
We are each an instrument and into the world we're sent .
If you play along with me, we could be a symphony.
We could be a symphony!
We are special, special, special.
God made us special; we're special to Him!

Chorus;
Dance, oh please dance til the stars come out to play.
Dance, dance with Me. Oh let's dance. Tell Me what do you say?
I've seen you there, with your eyes on the ground,
hoping on one would notice the tear that fell down.
Let me take your pack; it weighs a ton.
Come take My hand and we'll dance in the sun.
(Chorus)
I tried to call but you're never at home.
And it's just a machine that I get on the phone.
So I borrowed the keys to your band new sports car
And I won't give them back til you dance where you are.
(Chorus)
Look at her dance, like a blue bird in flight.
Now like a butterfly her feet are so light.
Would you dance with us and honour our song?
We could dance much better with you along.
(Chorus)

Tell Him About It
02:29
|
|||
Chorus:
O-o-oh, gonna tell Him about it.
O-o-oh, gonna tell Him about it.
O-o-oh, gonna tell Him about it.
I tell Jesus everything.
I had a friend since I was five
Now he doesn't know that I'm alive
I might as well be eighty-five.
I'm gonna go and tell Him about it.
Spilled my milk all over the floor.
I ran outside and never closed the door.
Boy, you should have heard my mom roar.
I'm gonna go and tell Him about it.
I was waiting for my dad.
He was late and I was mad.
So I did something really bad.
I'm gonna go and tell Him about it.
Jesus knows every toy I own.
He knows every flavour on an ice cream cone.
and I don't even need a phone
to tell my Jesus everything.

Forgiving
01:58
|
|||
Forgiving means I can make mistakes and be your friend;
Forgiving wipes away those sad-mad feelings that I tend.
When I have hurt you, didn't mean to. Oh what can I do?
You say, "I forgive you and I love you. I am still your friend."
Jesus is the best forever in the whole wide world.
There's nothing anybody did that Jesus can't forgive.
His arms are always ready as He waits to give a hug
And say I forgive you and I love you I am still your friend.
When we are old and have gray hair, and talk about the past
All the fun we had together how we laughed and laughed
By then we'll have forgiven a hundred time.. No-- MORE!
For when I forgive you then I love you and that makes us friends.

No Fun
01:30
|
|||
Well, Momma takes me to Sunday School.
It's no fun at all.
My teacher never lets me break one rule
It's no fun at all.
I can't bug my sister in Sunday School.
It's no fun at all.
And Esther says I can't run around like a fool
It's no fun at all.
Except for the stories of battles and kings,
It's no fun at all.
Except for the songs that I love to sing.
It's no fun at all.
Except for the cookies we get once in a while,
It's no fun at all
Except for seeing my good friends smile
It's notfun at all
I guess I'll be back again next week but,
It's no fun at all.
Now my friend wants to come but I told him that,
It's notfun at all.
He'll have to come and see for himself that
It's no fun at all,
because except for the games, the crafts, the stories, the baptisms, the choir, the minister (I like him!), the prayers and the laughter...
All right! All right! I admit it: it's sure fun for all.
Good fun.

The Lord Is My Shepherd
01:57
|
|||
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want
He makes me lie down
In pastures green.
He leads me (by still waters)
He restores my soul.
He guides me.
And even though I walk,
the darkest valley.
I will fear nothing.
for You are there.
Your rod and staff (they comfort me)
Your rod and staff
Your rod and staff
the Lord is my shepherd

A Child For Me
01:50
|
|||
"Come unto me," Jesus said, "and be a child for Me."
I may ask you to climb a mountain.
I may ask you to swim the sea.
I may ask you to cook Me dinner.
But first be a child for Me.
I will ask you to love your neighbour.
I will ask you so patiently.
I may ask you to hold his hand and remember you do it for Me.
You may grow up and be a doctor.
You may grow up and sail the sea.
You may grow up and run computers .
When you grow up still be a child for Me.
Jesus help us to climb that mountain
and please help us to hear You too.
You will give us love for our neighbour
as we grow up and be a child for You.
"Come unto me," Jesus said, "and be a child for Me."

Come Along Song
02:13
|
|||
Chorus:
Come along, come along, come along with me.
Let's go down to the Galilee.
Jesus calls you and me to come and follow Him.
It's a game of follow the leader that lasts your whole life long.
It's a place that we can be and know that you belong. So...
(Chorus)
Jesus calls us all to follow Him on a narrow road.
And if we just shine the light, He will carry the load. So...
Come along, come along, come along with me.
We'll go down in history.
Jesus calls you and me to come and follow Him.

My Best Friend
02:12
|
|||
Chorus:
He's my best friend (my best friend)
He's my best (my best friend)
I asked Him in my heart to stay,
and He'll never leave, uh-uh, no way.
(chorus)
I talk to Him; I'm never alone.
Prayer is my own private phone to my...
(chorus)
He's with me through thick and thin.
No matter what shape I'm in.
(Bridge)
Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me...
(chorus)
When I'm stuck don't know what to do
His ideas come thundering through.
(chorus)
When I die and leave this place.
I'm going to see Him face to face.
(chorus).

It's Ok To Hurt
02:34
|
|||
I was riding my bike down a little hill,
when the front wheel turned and I fell off,
and my elbow and knees were hurt real bad
and I cred to my Mon, "I'm hurting."
Chorus:
And she picked me up and she held me close
and she dried all of my tears.
She said, "It's OK to hurt, though it's not much fun.
There is nothing to fear."
I was playing with friends when we started to fight
and words were said that weren't real nice
and I ran to the house with those words in my ears,
mean words in my heart: I'm hurting.
(chorus)
And now I'm grown up with kids of my own
and my very own house and my very own phone.
And sometimes I still get hurt real bad
And I cry to my Lord, "I'm hurting."
And He picks me up and he holds me close
and He dries all of my tears.
He says, "It's OK to hurt ,though it's not much fun.
There is nothing to fear."

Questions
01:53
|
|||
Chorus:
The Bible is my favourite book; it's got lots of answers.
I'm relieved that it's so big, 'cause I've got lots of questions.
How come Jesus doesn't have a body anymore?
What is God like? Where did I come from? Why am I here?
Can Jesus go through walls and can He get dead?
Where does God live? Where does He sleep and does He love bad guys?
(Chorus)
If God's invisible, how do we know He's there?
Who made God and where did my grandpa go when he died?
How did that rainbow get in the sky? Do angels have wings?
How do I love my sister when she broke my favourite toy?
(Chorus)
Does God always, always, always hear me when I pray?
Does Jesus have fun? Does He like kids? Did Jesus ever cry?
If I went into outer space would Jesus still be there?
And do I have to swallow Him (gulp) to get Him in my heart?
(chorus)

You're My Hero
02:12
|
|||
The whole wide world is in Your hands.
You are the King of all the lands.
You tell the winds where they can blow
and sheep follow You everywhere you go.
Chorus:
Oh yeah. Uh-huh. Jesus, You're my hero.
Oh yeah. Uh-huh. Jesus, You're my hero.
You made the blind to see and the lame to walk.
About God's love You can really talk.
With one boy's lunch you fed a great big crowd.
If you did it then, You can do it now.
(Chorus)
You shine in the dark like one bight flame.
Satan, he flees at the sound of your name.
Superman's great and Batman too
But when I need help, ooh man, gonna call on You!
(Chorus)

Ride Your Dreams
02:42
|
|||
O my child, thy dreams await thee;
close your eyes and let them begin
ride upon horses along moonlit shores.
Ride your dreams tonight.
Sleep my child, God will protect thee.
Nothing will ever keep Him from thee
He holds the world and the moon and the sea.
He holds your dreams tonight.
O, my child when night is over
and days pass by and you are grown,
you'll ride upon horses and dream in the light
but ride your dreams tonight.
Child of mine, thy dreams are calling,
close your eyes and let them come in.
Ride upon horses along moonlit shores.
Ride your dreams tonight.
Ride your dreams. Goodnight.
