Did You Know that Jesus Died
tune: Do-Re-Mi
Did you know that Jesus Died?
Raised again in three short days?
Me- the one for whom he died,
For the sins that I have made!
So – I love Him more and more,
Love – I never knew before!
T – the shape of Calvary!
Did you know He died for me, me, me, me, me.
God’s Gift
Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb
God the Father gave a gift,
gave a gift, gave a gift,
Jesus, God’s Son, is the gift,
The Bible tells me so.
Mommy, Daddy, family, friends,
Who care for me lovingly,
They are gifts God gave to me,
The Bible tells me so.
Jesus gave His life for me,
On the cross, willingly,
So my Savior He could be,
The Bible tells me so.
Jesus Came to Earth
Tune: It’s a Small World
Jesus came to earth and became a man,
Lived a perfect life as he walked the land,
Then He died on the cross and arose from the dead,
He’s the Son of God.
(Chorus: )
Jesus loves me, this I know.
Jesus loves me, this I know.
Jesus loves me, this I know.
He’s the Son of God.
Jesus Died for Me
Tune: Farmer in the Dell
Jesus died for me
Yes, Jesus died for me,
Jesus died and lives again,
Jesus died for me.
Jesus lives for me
Yes, Jesus lives for me,
Jesus died and lives again,
Jesus lives for me.
Jesus Died on Calvary
Tune: Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore
Jesus died on Calvary, Hallelujah!
Brought redemption for you and me, Hallelujah!
Jesus wants to be your guide, Hallelujah!
He’ll be always by your side, Hallelujah!
Won’t you give your life to Him, Hallelujah!
He will save you from your sin, Hallelujah!
The Crucifixion Song
Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb
This is the cross where Jesus died
(Make cross with 2 fingers)
This is the hill where Mary cried
(Make hill with curved hand, palm down)
This is the rock they rolled away
(Put fist in front of other hand, roll it)
Now Jesus is with us everyday.
(point up, then to self)
The Old Rugged Cross
Tune: traditional hymn, public domain
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame.
And I love that old cross
where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
‘Til my trophies at last I lay down.
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it for some day for a crown.
