Hannah: Down on Her Knees

By Nancy Foss

Tune: Down by the Station

Down on her knees (Get on your knees) 

Hannah prays to our God. (Fold hands in prayer) 

Asking for a baby (Hold arms as if holding a baby) 

To hold and love. (Fold arms across chest) 

Watch her heart rejoice (Raise hands in praise)

When God answers prayer. (Fold hands in prayer) 

Clap, clap, snap, snap (Clap, Clap, snap, snap) 

God is Good. (Point to God.)

God is Listening

Tune: Are You Sleeping?

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,

When we pray, When we pray,

Oh, he will answer us, Oh, he will answer us,

When we pray, When we pray.

Samuel Was a Special Boy

Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb

Samuel was a special boy,

Special boy, special boy.

He was his mother’s pride and joy,

And made her very happy.

Given to God when he was small,

He was small, he was small,

Followed Eli ‘til he was tall,

And served God in His house.

Are You Sleeping, Samuel?

Tune: Are You Sleeping

Are you sleeping?

Samuel, Samuel.

I think Eli’s calling,

Samuel, Samuel.

Are you sleeping?

Samuel, Samuel.

God is calling Samuel,

Listen to him,

Listen to him.

Samuel Was a Wee Little Boy

Tune: Zacchaeus

Samuel was a wee little boy,

A wee little boy was he.

A helper to Eli was he.

He lit the candles and swept the floors,

He did as he was told.

And when he heard,

“Samuel, Samuel,”

He listened to the Lord.

About Samuel

Tune: London Bridges

Samuel, given to the Lord,

to the Lord, to the Lord,

Samuel, given to the Lord,

By his mother.

Samuel working for the Lord,

for the Lord, for the Lord,

Samuel working for the Lord,

Every morning.

Samuel, listening to the Lord,

to the Lord, to the Lord,

Samuel, listening to the Lord,

Every evening.

Samuel’s Working Song

Tune: I’ve Been Working on the Railroad

I’ve been working in the temple,

Working for the Lord.

I’ve been helping out old Eli,

And obeying every word.

When he calls me, I come quickly,

Work with a happy heart.

And when God calls, I will listen,

And I’ll do my best.

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.
