The United Kingdom
Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb
By Amanda Wilson
The United Kingdom had 3 kings,
Had 3 kings, had 3 kings,
The United Kingdom had 3 kings,
Saul, David, Solomon.
Three Kings of Israel
Tune: Three Wandering Jews
These were Israel’s 3 great kings,
These were Israel’s 3 great kings,
Saul, David, Solomon,
Saul, David, Solomon,
These were Israel’s 3 great kings.
Where is Saul?
Tune: Are You Sleeping?
By Amanda Wilson
Where is Saul?
Where is Saul?
Where is he? Where is he?
Hiding in the baggage,
Hiding in the baggage,
He’s our new king,
He’s our new king.
King Saul Did Not Obey
Tune: London Bridge
By Amanda Wilson
Poor King Saul did not obey,
Not obey, not obey,
Poor King Saul did not obey,
He was impatient.
Samuel said to wait for me,
wait for me, wait for me,
Samuel said to wait for me,
But Saul was impatient.
Saul just did the sacrifice,
sacrifice, sacrifice,
Saul just did the sacrifice,
He was impatient.
Then God said, “You will not be king!”
Not be king, not be king,
Then God said, “You will not be king!”
You were impatient.
Sad King Saul
Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb
Poor King Saul was very sad,
Very sad, very sad,
Poor King Saul was very sad,
He didn’t know what to do.
David came to make him glad,
Make him glad, make him glad,
David came to make him glad,
He sang some songs for him.
On his harp he played some songs,
Played some songs, played some songs,
On his harps he played some songs,
Then King Saul sang along.
O-B-E-D-I-E-N-C-E
Obedience is the very best way,
To show that you believe.
Doing exactly what the Lord commands,
Doing it happily.
Action is the key, do it immediately,
Joy you will receive,
Obedience is the very best way,
To show that you believe.
O-B-E-D-I-E-N-C-E
Obedience is the very best way,
To show that you believe.
If you want to be clean,
If you want to be pure,
If you want to do your best.
Sweetly submit to authority,
Leaving to God the rest.
Walk in the light,
Keep your attitude right.
On the narrow way.
Obedience is the very best way,
To show that you believe
Ark of the Covenant
Tune: Are You Sleeping?
By Amanda Wilson
Ark of the covenant,
Ark of the covenant,
God’s special box!
God’s special box!
Carry it with 2 poles,
Carry it with 2 poles,
It’s holy; don’t touch!
It’s holy; don’t touch!
God Sent the People Kings
Tune: He’s a Jolly Good Fellow
By Amanda Wilson
God sent the people kings,
God sent the people kings,
God sent the people kings,
Because they asked him to.
Saul was very tall,
Saul was very tall,
Saul was very tall,
But he didn’t always obey.
David was good and righteous,
David was good and righteous,
David was good and righteous,
He wrote some of the Psalms.
Solomon was so wise,
Solomon was so wise,
Solomon was so wise,
He wrote many Proverbs down.
King Saul & David
Tune: Oh My Darlin’ Clementine
In a cave, in a cave,
In a cave, cold and dark.
Came David and his men,
they were running in to hide.
In came Saul, in came Saul,
In came Saul for a break.
David cut off his robe hem
And it wasn’t a mistake!
David told him, David told him,
David told Saul what he did.
Saul was sorry for his actions,
And they were friends again.
