Decently – 1 Cor. 14:40
Tune: O Happy Day
We read God’s word, Paul tells us how,
Things should be done, so listen now:
“Let all things be done decently”
In order that God will be pleased.
Chorus:
Decently, decently,
In order that God will be pleased.
He taught us how things should be done,
To please our Father and His Son.
Decently, decently,
In order that God will be pleased.
Elders and Deacons
Tune: Are You Sleeping
The church is people, the church is people,
Yes, it is! Yes, it is!
The elders are the leaders,
Watching for our souls,
Yes, they do! Everyday!
The church is people, the church is people,
Yes, it is! Yes, it is!
The deacons are the servants,
Working for the elders*,
They serve us, every week.
The Elders in the Church
Tune: Jesus Loves the Little Children
Copyrighted by Aleta Walker Samford, used by permission
We are learning ‘bout the elders,
And about how they should be;
First, they must be older men,
And then two or more of them,
We are learning ‘bout the elders in the church.
We are learning ‘bout the bishops,
And about how they should be.
They must live a blameless life,
Be the husband of one wife.
We are learning ‘bout the bishops in the church.
We are learning ‘bout the shepherds,
And about how they should be.
Men with lots of self-control,
Apt to teach and guard our soul.
We are learning ‘bout the shepherds in the church.
We have learned of over-seers,
And about how they should be.
Men with children who believe,
To the Word of God he’ll cleave.
We have learned of over-seers in the church.

Our Faith is Like a Shell
Tune: Farmer in the Dell
The turtle has a shell,
The turtle has a shell,
Watch now carefully,
The turtle has a shell.
Our faith is like a shell,
Our faith is like a shell,
It saves us from Satan’s darts,
Our faith is like a shell.
Our faith is like a shield,

The stronger is our shield,
The stronger is our shield,
Just like the turtle shell,
The stronger is our shield.

And through Christ,
Praise our Father forever.

Joined with Christ,
And through Christ,
Praise our Father forever.
