Music: Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

Teach your child this American classic and you both will be ready for the next 7th inning stretch!


Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don't care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,
If they don't win it's a shame.
For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,
At the old ball game.

Music: I Can Sing a Rainbow


Theme: Rainbows
Here's a song you might remember from your childhood.
















I Can Sing a Rainbow
written by Arthur Hamilton

Red and yellow and pink and green
Orange and purple and blue 
I can sing a rainbow 
Sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow too

Listen with your eyes 
Listen with your eyes 
And sing everything you see 
You can sing a rainbow 
Sing a rainbow, sing along with me 

The sun is yellow, the grass is green 
Look how the sky is blue! 
We can sing a rainbow 
Sing a rainbow, surely you can too

Listen with your eyes
Listen with your eyes 
And sing everything you see 
You can sing a rainbow 
Sing a rainbow, sing along with me

Music: Growing in Your Favor by Jenna Paulette

LYRICS:
Jesus you make the ground
A good place to plant the seed
The sun shines a lot like grace
Calling me out into the light

Even when I fall or get a little tired
Your spirits there to give me life
Like the water that never runs dry
I’m growing in your favor

Jesus you tend to me
 To make sure I’m growing
Take what’s not helping me
And bring it into to the light

One day I’ll be a big ole tree
And the people will look to me
But they’ll see what you’ve done
All you’ve done

People will come to sit in my shade
Or to eat the fruit you’ve made
I’ll say Oh I’ll say
This God’s favor

Music: Lifted by Jenna Paulette

Lifted is based on the book, The Book, The Kite & The Wind by Al Andrews



LYRICS:


A little boy
learns to fly a kite
in the wind so high
and the sun so bright
He watched it soar
running aimlessly
wild and free

CHORUS
Lifted, he was lifted
holdin' on to
somethin' bigger than him
he was lifted, so lifted
knowin' it could change on a whim
he was lifted

V2:
that little boy
ran his kite
into branches
grippin' it tight
that greedy tree
couldn't let it go
but he knows, he knows

CHORUS

Bridge:
As he learned to listen to the wind
the one thing that wouldn't change
was it's big-ness or that it was always there
and it would always be... he was

Alt.CHORUS
Lifted, he was lifted
holdin' on to
somethin' bigger than him
he was lifted, so lifted
knowin' it wouldn't change on a whim
he was lifted

Fireflies Music: "I'm Sorry" by Jenna Paulette

Remember our CLIP book, Tumford the Terrible?   Here's a song about saying those two tough words, "I'm sorry"...




Feel free to add additional verses, for example "Daddy's are sorry too sometimes..." or "Sisters are sorry too sometimes..." 

Blessings,

JP


I'm Sorry

I’m sorry, please forgive me,
Words that are hard to say
I’m sorry, please forgive me,
Words that are hard to say.
But mommies are sorry too, sometimes.
And those little words make things alright.
Say I’m sorry, forgive me,
Words that are hard to say.
I’m sorry...

see lyrics below



"Snow is Falling"

Snow is falling,
Snow is falling,
Covering the ground.
It's the Lord calling,
The Lord calling,
I want to cover you.

Snow is falling,
Snow is falling,
Covering the ground.
It's the Lord calling,
The Lord calling,
I want to cover you.

In white, pure in light,
In white, how He make us right.
with white, pure in light
with white, how He makes right

Snow is falling,
Snow is falling,
Covering the ground.
It's the Lord calling,
The Lord calling,
I long to cover you.
