Peter and Paul: The Church Grows
Tune: The Farmer in the Dell
Words by Bobbi Biddle
The church just grew and grew,
When Peter taught God’s love,
The people learned the Word of God,
And worshiped God above.
When Peter was in jail,
The church prayed day and night.
When Rhoda heard him knock outside,
She learned he was all right.
Disciples preached God’s love,
And served the people, too,
“We need some help!” they told the church,
Then seven men helped too.
O Barnabas and Paul,
They traveled far and near,
They told the people of God’s love,
And of His Son so dear.
Paul’s Conversion
Tune: Yankee Doodle
Paul was once an enemy,
All the Christians feared him,
A light from heaven,
Showed Paul God’s power,
And sight from Paul was driven.
Paul went to Damascus,
Where Ananias found him,
He commanded Paul to be baptized,
And wash away his sin.
Saul Saw the Light
Tune: The Farmer in the Dell
By Amanda Wilson
Saul saw the light,
Saul saw the light,
Walking the Damascus Road,
Saul saw the light.
Jesus spoke to Saul,
Jesus spoke to Saul,
“Why are you hurting me?”
Jesus spoke to Saul.
For three days Saul was blind,
For three days Saul was blind,
Others led him by the hand,
For three days Saul was blind.
Saul was baptized,
Saul was baptized,
Scales fell from his eyes,
Saul was baptized.
Saul/ Paul
Tune: This Old Man
Saul was mean and he did wrong.
He hurt people who loved God.
He tried to get them and throw them in the jail.
The news of Saul spread just like the mail.
Then one day, to the town,
God blinded Saul and gave him a frown.
Saul knew he had made a mistake,
He asked God to give him a break.
From now on, Saul was changed.
And his name was rearranged.
His name was Paul and he told the world of love.
God’s special love from up above.
Good Paul
Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean
by Amanda Wilson
Good Paul went out over the ocean,
Good Paul went out over the seas,
Good Paul went out over the ocean,
On missionary trips, there were three.
Chorus:
Preaching and teaching,
To share the good news about Jesus,
Preaching and teaching,
To tell the whole world about God.
Paul: We’re Going on a Mission
Tune: Going on a Bear Hunt
We’re going on a mission,
We’re going on a mission,
[students march and carry Bible]
We’re gonna teach people!
We’re gonna teach people!
Come on, let’s go!
We’re sailing to the Isle of Cyprus.
[pretend you’re sailing in a boat]
We’re going on a mission,
We’re going on a mission,
We’re gonna teach people!
We’re gonna teach people!
We’re going to the other side of Paphos.
Come on, there are no cars, we gotta WALK.
[pretend to walk up a hill]
We’re going on a mission,
We’re going on a mission,
We’re gonna teach people!
We’re gonna teach people!
Come on, we’re goin’ on a mission
To see a magician – whoooo!
[pretend you’re afraid]
We’re going on a mission,
We’re going on a mission,
We’re gonna teach people!
Sailing on to Perga.
Oh no! The waves are rough and high.
Oh, we made it!
[Pretend you’re on rough water]
We’re going on a mission,
We’re going on a mission,
We’re gonna teach people!
To lots of other cities,
No boats, no cars! We gotta ride a donkey.
[pretend to ride a donkey]
We’ve finished with our mission,
We’ve finished with our mission,
We’re headed to Jerusalem.
Come on! We’re headed home!
Whew! Safe at last.
The Philippian Jailer
Tune: Hear Me Now (#58 Sacred Selections Hymnal)
Paul and Silas were in prison,
They were not afraid.
They sang praises there at midnight,
And they also prayed.
Chorus:
Our God, Our God, heard their prayers that night.
All the prison doors were opened,
By His power and His might.
The trembling jailer cried unto them,
“What must I do to be saved?”
When they preached Christ unto him,
He was not afraid.
(sing chorus)
Now the jailer was so happy,
That same hour of the night,
He and those he loved so dearly,
Were baptized into Christ.
(sing chorus)
Paul Sails to Rome
Tune: Bear Went Over the Mountain
We’re sailing out on the water,
We’re sailing out on the water,
We’re sailing out on the water,
To Rome we all must go!
To Rome we all must go!
To Rome we all must go!
We’re sailing out on the water,
We’re sailing out on the water,
We’re sailing out on the water,
To Rome we all must go!
2. The storm is blowing around us…who will save us now?
3. Only God can save us…for He can do all things.
