Words and Music by Chet A. Chambers

God Our Father
I want to know more and I want
to explore your Word and see what’s there to see
for me!
It’s all so exciting!
I want to learn, and live and love
Father, Son, and Spirit speak to me
The Lord cries out

Refrain
Let the children come to me
Let the children come to me
Jesus shows God’s love for all the world to see
He’s calling children everywhere
To love his Church, sing songs of praise
Can you hear Jesus calling, Let the children come
We come to learn (to learn)
To live (to live)
To love (to love)
To praise you Lord
Alleluia, Alleluia, sing Allelu, Allelu, Alleluia!
Alleluia, Alleluia, sing Allelu, Allelu, Alleluia!
Lord here I come!

Your Church is my family
Prayer opens doors, Faith is the key
Your Holy Word has set me free
Thank you for calling me

We’ve learned so much and we’ve had some fun

Of a lifetime serving in the Church 
with Jesus in your heart

Words and Music by Banner Kidd, Chet Chambers, and Nathan Heironimus

In the beginning God made everything
The sun and the moon, grass and the trees
Everything we see God has created
And then he made you and me

God is great (God is great)
God is wonderful
God is great (God is great)
We sing God is great

The mountains and the hills will lift their voice and sing
The valleys will shout praise to his name
All the earth bows down, the trees clap their hands
To the one who made everything

He is God the Father 
He is God the Son 
He is God the Holy Spirit 
He is God all Three in One. 
Let's pray the Sign Of The Cross 
as we welcome Him here

In the name of the Father 
And of the Son 
And of the Holy Spirit 
Amen!

The Angel told Mary "Do not be afraid, 
God has promised something special to you! 
You will be the mother of Jesus the Savior" 
And Mary said, "Lord, I trust you"

God keeps His promises 
God keeps His promises 
God keeps His promises to us 
God keeps His promises 
God keeps His promises 
Every word He says you can trust!

God uses many colors as the seasons go by 
The green of Spring, the white of Winter 
Fall's painted leaves fly high

Our church uses colors too 
A rainbow reminding me and you 
of seasons and days of celebration 
that decorate the year.

It's a Circle of Colors 
painting the church year 
with reminders of the love God has for you

The white and golds of Christmas and Easter 
Pretty purples at Advent and Lent 
Red at Pentecost and to honor the Holy Spirit 
Ordinary Times alive with greens 
Each color chosen for a special reason 
A Circle of Colors through the seasons.

To gather all HIS children to HIM

You're the way, YOU are are the LIFE
You'll take us to YOUR Father's house to live

The angel said to Joseph in a dream
"Do not be afraid.
God has chosen Mary
To bring the world a baby boy

You shall call His name
Jesus, Emmanuel, God with us
Jesus, Emmanuel, God with us
His name is Jesus"

When he woke up
Joseph obeyed
What the angel said
God sent through a baby
The Savior born for you and me

And we call His name… (chorus)

Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Peace on earth and mercy mild

Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With th'angelic host proclaim

Echoing their joyous strains

There are no other friends like Jesus
So kind, so gentle and true
Who is closer than a brother
The friend who died for me and you

And always be with you

I want to be a friend like Jesus
Sharing all He's given me
Will you be my friend
And together we can sing

Jesus is my best friend
He is always here with me
He wants to be your friend too
And always be with you

Jesus is my best friend
He is always here with me
He wants to be your friend too
And always be with you

Jesus, please hear our prayer
We need You everyday
We bow our heads and speak to You
Jesus, please hear our prayer

In the morning before we eat
We ask You please bless our food
And guide us as we live today
In everything we do

At night before we go to bed
After we brush our teeth
We bow on our knees and ask You please
Keep us safe while we sleep

Sometimes in the dark
When I'm scared and afraid
I remember what Jesus said
That HE is here, anytime night or day
And HE takes my fear away

I am with you always
I am with you always

Sometimes there are days
When I feel all alone
I remember what Jesus said
That HE'S my friend, HE'S my Lord
And I'm not lonely anymore

I am with you always
I am with you always

This act of kindness I will do
Will put a smile on someone's face
And let them know that I love YOU
And to know YOU love them too

Jesus help me to be kind
Help me help someone today

My Father loves me all the time
Even when I have been bad
HE is always here with me
HE makes me happy when I'm sad

My Father always will forgive me
When I tell HIM I am wrong
When I tell HIM am sorry
HE always welcomes me home

I always get in trouble
When I disobey
But I can always go to My Father
I don't have to be afraid

Jesus loves the animals
He wants us to love them too
He cares about what they need
Like He cares about me and you

He cares for every sparrow
Puppy dog and kitty cat
Pigs and chickens, horses and cows
Lions, bears and even bats

The Father made the animals
And He said that it was good
He told us to take care of them
And treat them like He would

He gave them fur to keep them warm
And wings so some could fly
Water for fish to swim
Everything they need for life

Jesus loves the animals
He wants us to love them too
He cares about what they need
Like He cares about me and you (tag last two lines)

Jesus' stories teach us about HIM
Tell us about HIS love
And how HE came to save HIS children
And HIS Father's home up above

Oh how I love to hear 
All of Jesus' Stories
Written in the Bible
The Word of God is true
Will you read to me
Every Word HE said
Because I love to hear
Jesus' Stories

Jesus said to bring the children to HIM
HE picked them up and put them on HIS knee
HE wants us all to be HIS little children
And listen to all of HIS Stories
