Queen Esther

Tune: Did You Ever See a Lassie?

Did you hear about Queen Esther?

Queen Esther? Queen Esther?

Did you hear about Queen Esther?

She is a star!

Queen Esther was so brave,

She knew she must save,

All her people from old Haman,

So they would not die!

Did you hear about Queen Esther?

Queen Esther? Queen Esther?

Did you hear about Queen Esther?

She is a star!

The great celebration

All over the nation,

Was to help the Jews remember

Queen Esther, the star!

Build the Walls

Tune: Mulberry Bush

By Amanda Wilson

This is the way we build the walls,

build the walls, build the walls,

This is the way we build the walls,

Working all together.

I Want to Be a Servant of the Lord

Tune: I Want to Be a Worker for the Lord

I want to be a servant of the Lord.

Humble and prepared to do His word.

Doing little things each day,

With rewards along the way.

I will serve Him faithfully.

God Forgives Me – Ezra Repents

Tune: Jesus Loves Me

My God loves me when I’m good,

When I do the things I should.

My God loves me when I’m bad,

But it makes Him very sad.

Sometimes I may disobey,

But God forgives me when I pray.

Repent means change the way I act,

Don’t go back and act like that.

Yes, God forgives me!

Yes, God forgives me!

Yes, God forgives me!

When I ask Him to.

I love others when they’re good,

When they do the things they should.

I love others when they’re bad,

I forgive and make God glad.

I forgive others,

I forgive others,

I forgive others,

When they’re so wrong to me.

Please, Please Forgive Me

Tune: Oh Where is My Hairbrush, Veggie Tales

Oh please, please forgive me.

Oh please, please forgive me.

Oh please, Oh please,

Oh please, Oh please,

Oh please,

Forgive me.

My God…will forgive me!

My God…will forgive me!

God will, God will,

God will, God will,

God will…

Forgive me!
