I share my toys with others.

Picking up toys as I’ve been told.

All around my classroom,
I obey my teacher.
I sing and pray and listen too.
I’m obeying God.
All through the worship,
I obey my parents,
By being still and quiet too.
I’m obeying God.
Obedience – 0-B-E-D-I-E-N-C-E
Tune: traditional
By Mike & Ruth Greene
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.
We want to live pure, we want to live `clean,
we want to do our best.
Sweetly submitting to authority,
leaving to God the rest.
Walking in the light, keeping our attitude right,
on the narrow way.
For if we believe the Word we receive,
we always will obey.
O-B-E-D-I-E-N-C-E.
Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe.
Obey Song
Tune: Father Abraham
I am going to, going to obey,
Even though I don’t want to.
Jesus tells me to, so this I’ll do,
So let’s just all obey.
Right arm…(repeat & add body parts like Father Abraham song but out of order so kids have to LISTEN & OBEY)
The Bible is God’s Book
Tune: The Farmer in the Dell
The Bible is God’s Book,
His words are there you see.
It is the way He talks to you,
The way He talks to me.
Obey, obey, obey.
The Bible says obey.
So I will do the things God says,
Every single day.
This is the Reason I Obey
Tune: Mulberry Bush
This is the reason I obey,
I obey, I obey.
This is the reason I obey.
To show my love for the Lord.
I’ll trust my Lord and follow him,
follow him, follow him,
I’ll trust my Lord and follow him,
I’m happy to obey.
Trust and Obey
By John H. Sammis, Public Domain
When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His word
What a glory He sheds on our way
While we do His good will
He abides with us still
And with all who will trust and obey
Chorus:
Trust and obey
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey.
We Will Listen and Obey – Deut. 5:27
Tune: Old MacDonald
We will listen and obey,
Yes, Lord! Yes, we will.
We will listen and obey,
Yes, Lord, yes, we will.
With a yes, Lord here, and a yes, Lord there,
Here a yes, there a yes, everywhere a yes! Yes!
We will listen and obey,
Yes, Lord! Yes, we will!
*Note: You can modify this song and sing “Yes, sir” and “Yes, ma’am” when teaching about obeying parents and earthly authorities.
The Working Song
Tune: I’ve Been Working on the Railroad
I’ve been working in the kitchen,
Working for the Lord.
I’ve been helping out my mother,
And obeying every word.
When she calls me, I come quickly,
Work with a happy heart.
And when God calls, I will listen,
And I’ll do my best.
Chorus:
I will do my best, I will do my best,
I will do my best for God each day.
I will do my best, I will do my best,
I will do my best for God.
*Substitute word “kitchen” for other places like garden, bedroom, etc. and substitute mother for father.
