God is Listening
Tune: Where is Thumbkin
God is listening, God is listening,
When we pray, when we pray.
Oh, He will hear us,
Oh He will hear us,
When we pray, when we pray.
God is answering, God is answering,
In our lives, in our lives,
Oh, He will answer us.
Oh, He will answer us,
In our lives, in our lives.
God is listening, God is listening,
When we pray, when we pray,
Bow your head so nicely,
Close your eyes so tightly,
God is near, God will hear.
God Forgives Me
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.
How Many Times?
(Based on Matt. 18:21)
By Amanda Wilson
Tune: Three Blind Mice
How many times?
How many times?
Must I forgive?
Must I forgive?
If my brother hurts me seven times,
Do I have to forgive all seven times?
How many times?
Must I forgive?
Seventy-seven times.
Seventy-seven times.
All that he owes.
All that he owes.
Your Father God has forgiven you,
And you must forgive others, too.
Seventy-seven times.
Seventy-seven times.
I Forgive You
Tune: Barney’s I Love You song
I forgive you,
You forgive me,
We forgive each other,
Can’t you see,
With a great big hug,
And a kiss from me to you,
Won’t you join us,
And forgive too.
If You’re Sorry and You Know It
Tune: If You’re Happy and You Know It
If you’re sorry and you know it, tell the Lord!
If you’re sorry and you know it, tell the Lord!
For the heavenly Lord above
Will forgive you with his love,
If you’re sorry and you know it, tell the Lord!
If you’re forgiven and you know it,
say thank you!
If you’re forgiven and you know it,
say thank you!
For the heavenly Lord above
Will forgive you with his love,
If you’re forgiven and you know it,
say thank you!
Please, Please Forgive Me
Tune: O Where is My Hairbrush?
Oh, please… please forgive me!
Oh, please… please forgive me!
Oh please, oh please,
Oh please, oh please,
Oh please!
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!
Standin’ in the Need of Prayer
Tune: traditional
It’s me, it’s me, it’s me O Lord,
Standin’ in the need of prayer!
It’s me, it’s me, it’s me O Lord,
Standin’ in the need of prayer!
Not my father, not my mother, but it’s me O Lord,
Standin’ in the need of prayer!
Not my sister, not my brother, but it’s me O Lord,
Standin’ in the need of prayer!
