     hi,
    
     I don't have the time to type the lyrics in, but i love everything
     by PATCH THE PIRATE.. (Ron Hamilton),  Get a tape, they come wiht
     words and they also have alot of music/music program type books you
     can get.  They are wonderful for kids (and adults).  My personal
     favorite is "Patch the Pirate goes to the Jungle",  it has the songs
     "Tender Heart" and "how can i fear" on it.. they are fantastic.

    Hi,
    
      Here is a silly song my daughters Sunday School teacher taught her
    about 4 years ago.
    
                        I love Jesus better than ice cream, and ice creams
    		        pretty good..
    			Scoobie-dooobie-doo.
    		        I love Jesus better than ice cream, and ice creams
    		        pretty good.. 
    			Scoobie-dooobie-doo.

    He is known for 'Hu Flung Chow", The Poochie Lip Disease, 
    
    and lyrics such as "Skin it sticks with me through Thick and Thin" 
    
    :-) :-)  or
    
    I love Broccoli its such a tastey sight
    and liver makes me quiver
    in sheer delight
    I always clean my plate
    morning noon and night
    I'm thankful for each Bite
    Eat 'em up, eat'me up YUM YUM
    
    or
    
    Pigs don't live in houses
    and pigs don't make their beds
    pigs don't wash their faces
    they love the dirt instead 
    
    so if you're not a piglet
    clean up that messy bedroom
    and show your Christian clean!!!
    
    

    
    God reached into His crayon box
    And He put the blue in the sky.
    He made the sun yellow,
    The Grass kinda mellow,
    And the trees to grow so high
    	(Yes, the tree to grow so high)
    
    Ev'ry Spring you can hear birds sing
    Of the beauty of God's creation.
    The animals prance,
           and jump and dance
    As they join the jubilation
    	(A Creation celebration)
    
    God reached into His crayon box
    And He put the blue in the sky.
    He made the sun yellow,
    The Grass kinda mellow,
    And the trees to grow so high
    	(Yes, the tree to grow so high)
    
    It doesn't look like much but it's not too shabby when all the kids
    join in. I wish you could hear it.
    
    Gil

I like it, Gil.  I'd like to hear it someday.
Do you sing over the phone, like Nancy does?

    I like that Gil!  I wish I could hear the melody...
    
    Rebecca

    Just sing it to the beer-advertising-tune of your choice -- right
    Markem?  :-) :-)
    
    Sorry -- really couldn't help myself.
    
    Markel

    Markem,
    
     Do I sing over the phone? Certainly, sir. I will sing to honor and
    praise God anytime, anywhere. He is always worthy of praise, even if my
    voice is not.
    
    And now for your listening pleasure, here's another Gil original.
    
    Good morning, Father.
    Good morning, Son.
    Good morning, Spirit.
    It's time to have some fun.
    It's time to roll out of bed,
    Shake all the sleep from my head,
    Time to share in the day that's begun.
    
    You're with me, Father,
    All through the day.
    With Your Son, Jesus
    You show me the way.
    And with Your Spirit inside,
    Always there as my guide,
    I know that we'll be together come what may.
    
    Good evening, Father.
    Good evening, Son. (yawn)
    Good night, Spirit.
    The day You made is done
    It's time to crawl into bed    (<-- slows down tempo)
    Lay down my weary head...      (<-- through this part)
    
    Until the next day You make has begun!  (<-- picks up tempo again)
    
    Good morning, Father.... (and so on, from the beginning)

        TO THE TUNE OF "PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON"

        God's love is like a circle
        A cicle big and round
        And when you see a circle
        No ending can be found
        And so the love of Jesus
        Goes on eternally
        Forever and forever
        I know that God loves me

        Erich
    

	This is a second verse to the famous old HAPPY BIRTHDAY tune...
	(quite good to teach them this when your singing happy
	 birthday to any of the kids)

	Happy birthday to you
	Only one will not do
	Put your trust in the Saviour
	And then you'll have two

I got Gil Bernier's Crayon song on my voice mail!
Well done, Gil!

Now, how to forward voice mail....  hmm...

    Gilby.... :-(  I didn't get a voicemail!!!!!

	RE:   <<< Note 99.2 by AKOCOA::CARMISCIANO "already over on the other side.." >>>
                             -< PATCH THE PIRATE >-

	Amen!  I especially love "Worry Wart Hog."  What a scream!
	    
        Also, the the Hamiltons' album "The Custards' Last Stand" with
        "Cherish the Moment."  If you can keep your eyes dry hearing that
        piece, then you've got a heart of stone.

	Markem, my DTN is 225-5130 ...

	I want that voicemail!!!

	Karen

    Hey...what about me?!!  I have a 4 and 1 yr. old too ya know.  Besides,
    I have a friend who was in the Maranatha singers and he could record
    it professionally...Voicemail it immediately, you'll become a STAR!!!
    
    -Jack

    C'mon, guys, ya'll will make me blush - not that anyone could tell
    beneath all the facial fur I carry about. :-)
    
      Markem is too kind in his note. I'm recovering from laryngitis and
    don't even have half of my singing voice back yet. (Note to MCF'ers -
    yes I still whistler His praises a lot!). I probably sounded like I had
    gravel in my throat.
    
      My vote is that Markem learns the tune and sings it for folks. I'm
    told he has a very nice voice.
    
    BTW, does anyone know if you can forward voice mail messages? I hope
    not.
    
    :-)
    
    Gil

	You most definitely can forward voicemail messages.

	patiently waiting...

    Really?  How?
    
    It would be improper to forward without permission, though.  ;-)
    
    Who said I had a nice voice?  I enjoy it and attribute it to my
    Song Evangelist Grandparents.
    
    Also, one FYI: I'm the one who is known in my church as singing all the
    OLD songs with piano accompaniment (while others have recorded
    renditions with various styles of music).
    
    But I did fire up the church with Psalty's "This little light of mine!"

    Gilby sang it for me... it's quite catchy... AAAAAHHHHCHOOO!!
    
    Loved it, asked him to record on cassette.. he said he'd have his kids
    do it... so Gilby ENCORE!
    
    Nancy

    What about me? I want to hear it too - please?
    
    Rebecca  385-2701

    You folks are funny. :-)
    
     Go ahead, Markem. Pass it on. I don't think the demand will be
    tremendous but it beats calling up folks and singning (especially when
    people keep coming in here all the time).
    
    Gil

Tell me how and the voice mail is free for the asking!

:-)

Mark

Advent tells us Christ is near;         Yes, and Christ ascended, too,
Christmas tells us Christ is here.      To prepare a place for you;
In Epiphany we trace                    So we give him special praise
All the glory of his grace.             After those great forty days.

Then three Sundays will prepare         Then he sent the Holy Ghost
For the time of fast and prayer,        On the day of Pentecost,
That with hearts made penitent,         With us ever to abide:
We may keep a faithful Lent.            Well may we keep Whitsuntide.

Holy Week and Easter then               Last of all, we humbly sing
Tell who died and rose again:           Glory to our God and King,
O that happy Easter Day!                Glory to the One in Three,
"Christ is ris'n indeed," we say        On the Feast of Trinity.

Lamb of God, I look to thee;            Let me, above all, fulfill
Thou shalt my example be;               God my heav'nly Father's will;
Thou art gentle, meek, and mild;        Never his good Spirit grieve;
Thou wast once a little child.          Only to his glory live.

Lord, I would be as thou art;           Loving Jesus gentle Lamb,
Give me thine obedient heart;           In thy gracious hands I am;
Thou art pitiful and kind,              Make me Saviour, what thou art,
Let me have thy loving mind.            Like thyself within my heart.

                    I shall then show forth thy praise,
                    Serve thee all my happy days;
                    Then the world shall always see
                    Christ the holy Child in me.

I worship thee, Lord Jesus,             I worship thee, Lord Jesus,
As children did of old,                 Who in thy love divine,
Who sang within thy temple              Art hiding here thy presence
Hosannas manifold.                      'Neath forms of bread and wine.

I worship thee, Lord Jesus,             I worship thee, Lord Jesus,
Once slain upon the tree,               And kneeling unto thee,
Now pleading at the altar               As thou didst come to Mary,
Thy sacrifice for me.                   I pray thee come to me.

                    I worship thee, Lord Jesus,
                    My King and Saviour mild:
                    Thou hast blest other children;
                    Bless also me, thy child.

I sing a song of the saints of God,
Patient and brave and true,
Who toiled and fought and lived and died
For the Lord they loved and knew.
 And one was a doctor, and one was a queen,
 And one was a shepherdess on the green:
 They were all of them saints of God--And I mean,
 God helping, to be one too.

They loved their Lord so dear, so dear,
And his love made them strong;
And they followed the right, for Jesus' sake,
The whole of their good lives long.
 And one was a soldier and one was a priest,
 And one was slain by a fierce wild beast:
 And there's not any reason--no, not the least--
 Why I shouldn't be one too.

They lived not only in ages past,
There are hundreds of thousands still,
The world is bright with the joyous saints
Who love to do Jesus' will.
 You can meet them in school, or in lanes, or at sea,
 In church, or in trains, or in shops, or at tea,
 For the saints of God are just folk like me,
 And I mean to be one too.

    
    
    
    	Using things, and loving people,

    	Using things and loving people

    I don't have the lyrical ability that some of you have, but have found
    a great resource.  For at least 4 years, our kids have gone to sleep to
    tapes.  The most popular has been the GT series - there are probably 10
    of them now.  They're basically Scripture memory tapes, and really well
    done.  There is a story involving kids and an angel named GT.  They
    regularly break into song, and the songs are good, original music.  The
    words are key verses, word for word, with the reference.  You'd have to
    hear them.  The project was started by two frustrated parents who were
    having a hard time getting their kids to sleep and getting their kids
    to memorize Scripture.  So, they killed two birds with one tape (sorry,
    animal rights contingent).  And they've made a business of it.  The
    tapes are available in any Christian bookstore or from a distributor.

    The "Kids' Praise" video series is great and loved by my kids.

Hiya,

Does anyone have the lyrics for "I'm in the Lord's Army"?

Something like...
 I'm to young to march in the infantry,
 Shoot in the 'tillary
 Ride in the cavalry
.
.
 I'm in the Lord's army

etc

The tune's been buzzing 'round in my head all morning.

Ta


Chele

    I may never march in the infantry
    ride in the calvary
    shoot the artillery
    I may never zoom o'er the enemy
    but I'm in the Lord's Army [Yes Sir!]
    I'm in the Lord's Army
    I'm in the Lord's Army
    
    I may never fight in the Alamo
    ride a burro oh so slow
    eat a cheesey burrito
    I may never wear a sombrero
    but I'm in the Lord's Army [Si Senor]

    The Lord gave me this song recently, in showing me the personality
    of Jesus, when He was on earth, and His vision for the Body of Christ,
    here on earth now. The musical past of this song has not yet fully been
    revealed to me, other than the chorus. When the Lord gives it to me, I
    will be happy to share it with all.
    
                              The Body of Christ
    
    Full of the Holy Spirit and truth,
    Full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom,
    Full of the Holy Spirit and knowledge,
    Full to overflowing,
    Full to overflowing
    
    Full of the knowledge of God,
    Full of the compassion of God,
    Full of the Righteousness of God,
    Full to overflowing
    Full to overflowing
    
    Full of life, full of love
    Full of peace from above
    Full of hope, full of grace
    We will always seek your face
    
    Full of goodness and good works,
    Full of mercy and good fruits,
    Full of light and faith and love,
    Full to overflowing
    Full to overflowing
    
    Full of life, full of love
    Full of peace from above
    Full of hope, full of grace
    We will always seek your face
    
    In writing this, I asked the Lord why He didn't include full of joy. He
    seemed to say "Have you read of where it said Jesus smiled, or
    laughed?" I only remembered where it said "Jesus wept" And so it is
    today, as Jesus looks at His body, shattered into dis-unity. It is not
    to remain so, as God pours out His Spirit on all mankind, and The Holy
    Spirit works the wonders He does, in bringing unity to the Body of
    Christ, and as we allow, He will fill us all to overflowing.
    
    In his Love,
    By His Grace,
    I will always,
    seek His face.
    
    Bob
    

Cast your cares
    
I don't care, cause He cares for me,
the love of the Lord has set me free,
He's the one who said cast your cares,
so turtles can run as fast as hares

I don't care if I'm right or wrong,
I trust in Him who is oh so strong.
and if I'm wrong he'll set me straight,
so I'll end up at the pearly gate.

I don't care, cause He cares for me,
the love of the Lord has set me free,
Free that I may worship right,
and do things pleasing in his sight.

I don't care if the end is near,
cause he took away all my fear
So that perfect love may reign
and I'll be ready when He comes again

I don't care if I'm dumb or wise,
cause I'm the apple of His eyes.
He is to me the life I am
The mighty King, the precious Lamb

I don't care cause He cares more
than I ever thought I could before
I love Him cause He first loved me,
by taking care of sin on Calvery

Bob

From Cecil Frances Alexander's "Hymns for Little Children", 1848

Once in royal David's city              For he is our childhood's pattern;
Stood a lowly cattle shed,              Day by day like us he grew;
Where a mother laid her baby            He was little, weak, and helpless,
In a manger for his bed:                Tears and smiles like us he knew;
Mary was that mother mild,              And he feeleth for our sadness,
Jesus Christ her little child.          And he shareth in our gladness.

He came down to earth from heaven       And our eyes at last shall see him,
Who is God and Lord of all,             Through his own redeeming love;
And his shelter was a stable,           For that child so dear and gentle
And his cradle was a stall;             Is our Lord in heav'n above;
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,     And he leads his children on
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.        To the place where he is gone.

And thro' all his wondrous childhood,   Not in that poor lowly stable,
He would honor and obey,                With the oxen standing by,
Love, and watch the lowly maiden        We shall see him; but in heaven,
In whose gentle arms he lay;            Set at God's right hand on high;
Christian children all must be          When like stars his children crowned,
Mild, obedient, good as he.             All in white shall wait around.

The tune for the previous children's hymn is "Irby", as follows, with each
letter representing an eighth.  "C" = middle C, "c" = C above middle; in
the key of F, which means Bs are B-flat by default:

 CC  EE FFF F  FE FG    GG FF  FF  aa ccc a  aG  FE  GGGG
Once in roy-al Da-vid's ci-ty Stood a low-ly cat-tle shed,

 CC  EE FFF F  FE   FG  GG FF FF aa ccc a  aG  FE  GGGG
Where a mother laid her ba-by In a  manger for his bed:

dd dd ccc  f   bb bb  aaaa  dd dd  ccc   a   aG FE  FFFF
Ma-ry was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child.

    Looking for a song:
    
    Nathan needs to learn a song for Cub Scouts that could be
    used as grace before a meal.  My mind has gone blank -
    any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    
    Pam

    God is great
    God is good
    let us thank Him for our food
     :-)
    

Kids always seem to like to sing this one.  (Me too.)

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 apple seed.
The Lord is good to me!

It's sung to a catchy tune.    

    Hi Day_C!
    
    I've never heard this song and for hte life of me can't remember the
    Johnny Appleseed song. :-(
    
    Our Intro topic is #4!  Welcome!
    
    Nancy

Hi Nancy...

I don't remember where that song came from; and, because I'm pretty nearly 
musically "illiterate" I can't really represent the tune here.  Maybe 
there's someone else here who has heard it and can.  It's just a very 
cheerful tune.

I guess I really ought to introduce myself.

	Okay, I'll try to figure out and communicate the tune,
if no one minds...  The rhythm sorta works itself out, I think.
Anyway, here's my best try.  Notes with zeros after them are
the ones below middle C.

                          -< Johnny Appleseed's Song >-

E   E   G    E  G    E  C
Oh, the Lord is good to me.

G0  C  G0 C     E   G
And so I  thank the Lord

G   A  G   G  G   A      G G
For giving me the things I need.

G   A   G   G   G    G   A   E C   C
The sun and the rain and the apple seed.

C   E    C  E    D  C
The Lord is good to me!

    cool, I'lll print it off and try it at home... :-)

    This is a song The Lord gave me in the shower the other day...
                                                                
                           Open their hearts Oh Lord

     Open the ears of thy people Oh Lord
     Open the ears of thy people all over
     Open the ears so that they may hear Grace
     Open the ears of thy people Oh Lord

     Open the mouths of thy people Oh Lord
     Open the mouths of thy people all over
     Open the mouths that they may speak Grace
     Open the mouths of thy people Oh Lord

     Open the eyes of thy people Oh Lord
     Open the eyes of thy people all over
     Open the eyes that they may see Grace
     Open the eyes of thy people Oh Lord

     Open the hearts of thy people Oh Lord
     Open the hearts of thy people all over
     Open the hearts that they may know Grace   
     Open the hearts of thy people Oh Lord

    I had a melody for it, but didn't have the guitar with me
    (ZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTT), for obvious reasons. So I've asked God
    to give you whatever melody you like to go with the words.
    Feel free to improvise, as you fell led. For a heavy_metal
    kinda guy like me, it was mellow, and soft. It's really what 
    is in the words that count.
