What Makes You A Christian?

1. Sitting in a garage doesn't make you a car
Flying in a rocket doesn't make you a star
Y'know it doesn't matter whoever you are
Going to church
Doesn't make you a.. (X) ..Christian

Having Jesus in your heart
Talking to Him each day
Asking Him to guide you
And help you to obey
Reading His Word and following His ways
That's what makes you a.. (X) ..Christian
Yes that's what makes you a.. (X) ..Christian

2. Talking like a parrot
You can memorise a word
Flapping your arms 
Will make you look like a bird
But it doesn't mean a thing
You'll only look absurd
Going to church
Doesn't make you a.. (X) ..Christian

Bananas For The Lord

1. He's the peach of a Saviour
He's the apple of my eye
He prunes away the branches
When the branches get too high
He bears fruit in season
And His love will never die
And that's why I'm bananas for the Lord

Glory glory we're the branches
Glory glory we're the branches
Glory glory we're the branches
And that's why I'm bananas for the Lord

2. Now Jesus is the Saviour
He's the One who came to die
He's the One who lights my life
I never have to lie
He is the very reason
And His love just makes me cry
And that's why I'm bananas for the Lord

Giantkiller

1. Who's that tiny little boy
His tiny little sling looks just like a toy
When all the blokes are looking coy
His heart is strong with faith and joy

Great big giant standing tall
The bigger they are the harder they fall
Standing firm with your back to the wall
You know whose name to call:  JESUS!

2. Come now Davey Boy, see what I bring
Put on your armour said the King
With all this junk I can't move a thing
All I want is my God and my sling    
CHORUS

3. Look here Goliath you mound of muscle
You're just here to laugh and to hustle
But I know if it comes to a tussle
The Lord is with me I don't have to bustle 
CHORUS

4. So if you feel you have come to a crunch
And one of your giants is gonna eat you for lunch
Just when it looks like he's going to munch
Remember God and you are the invincible bunch

Jesus Reigns In Us

1. As the rain falls down
Bringing puddles to the ground
Down it comes like showers
Jesus pours his love into our hearts
Into our hearts....

2. It taps on our windows
Washing them clean
Just as we ask Jesus to forgive us
When we've sinned, when we've sinned

Jesus reigns in us, Jesus reigns in us
Jesus reigns in us
If we open our hearts to Him
Jesus lives in us, Jesus lives in us
Jesus lives in us
If we give our lives to Him

3. The rain helps the sun
To make the garden grow
Like we reap when we sow
The sun comes out & dries up all the rain
Leaving everything alive again, alive again

Love Is Red

Love..........  is red
Love..........  is red

1. Redder than any rose
Redder than my cold nose
It's like a fire burning

CHORUS

2. Love is in the shape of a heart
It can be broken with a black dart
But love is stronger than hate
God's love is very great

Stinky Sox

CHORUS 1
Stinky Sox, Stinky Sox
Under the bed or shoved in a box
You just can't get away
From those Stinky Sox

1. After a while you forget they're there
But now and again you sniff the air
Then you find out how you care
About those Stinky Sox  CHORUS

2. They're sometimes so very easy to clean
Other times they need a washing machine
Try to hide the odour of Stinky Stinky Sox  CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Sin is like my Stinky Sox
Hidden away so on one can see
But God can see my stinky sin
That's why he sent Jesus for me

CHORUS 2
Stinky sin, stinky sin
Let it out and let Jesus right in
He's paid the price
For all our stinky sin  CHORUS

Superheroes

1. Who's gonna be my Superhero?
Who's gonna be the one to save me?
Y'know I'm lost without a hero
Something everybody needs

2. Where are all of these Superheroes
When I'm lost and can't be found
I call for some of these Superheroes
They aren't any help at all

I called for: BATMAN, SUPERMAN
XENA THE WARRIOR
LEGEND OF HERCULES and
SAMURAI PIZZ CATS to save the day
Then there's HERO ALADDIN
And his GENIE
And GARGOYLES killing the BADDIES
COUNT DUCKULA and THE PHANTOM
And POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN
Toot! Toot!

3. Then I remembered a Superhero
One I knew in Bible Class
He healed the sick & raised the dead
Is He the One who'll save me?

4. Come to Me all you children
That is what Jesus said
Leave these heroes and follow Me
I'm the One who'll set you free

You've got JESUS SON OF GOD
He's the MIGHTY WARRIOR
He's the One who saved me

Now I don't need:
BATMAN, SUPERMAN
XENA THE WARRIOR
LEGEND OF HERCULES and
SAMURAI PIZZ CATS to save the day
Then there's HERO ALADDIN
And his GENIE
And GARGOYLES killing the BADDIES
COUNT DUCKULA and THE PHANTOM
And POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN
Toot! Toot!

LAST CHORUS:
You've got JESUS SON OF GOD
He's the MIGHTY WARRIOR
He's the One who saved me
He's the One who saved me    X3

Songs from Kids Time 2:

Love God First

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10    X2
It's good to be reminded, every now and again

1. That God's given us 10 Commandments
And written them on our hearts
You probably already know many of them
But here is where you start:
ONE you've gotta love God first
Before anyone or anything else
TWO don't make any other Gods
Cos you can't put God on a shelf    MINI-CHORUS

2. THREE don't use His name wrong
To say a swear word or just for fun
FOUR keep the seventh day just for Him
So you can keep Him Number One
FIVE give honour to Mum and Dad
Obey them and you'll live long (it's a promise)
SIX don't kill anyone at all
I'll bet you knew that one was wrong   
MINI-CHORUS

3. SEVEN is committing adultery
Acting married to someone you're not
EIGHT is stealing, you know that's wrong
To take something that you haven't bought
NINE is sometimes a difficult one
Don't ever lie but tell the truth
TEN don't desire what your neighbours got
Be content with what God's given you    CHORUS

CODA:
You gotta love God first, love God first
Not  2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th you gotta love God first
Now the others are important
But not as important as this: 
You gotta love God first

Drive in a Chevy Car, strut down the Boulevard

Indian Jones is no match for who I am

Wakarimasita  (Japanese)

Wakarimasita,  wakarimasita ka
Wakarimasitawakarimasita ka      X2
I see, do you see?
I understand, do you understand?

1. Jesus came from heaven above
He came to show us that God is love
He came and died and rose again
If you want to get to know Him
You must be born again                     CHORUS

2. You can't get to heaven by singing a song
You can't get to heaven by trying to do no wrong
But if you ask Jesus to forgive your sin
You will get to heaven 
And the party will begin                     CHORUS

by Bruce Jones  © 2003 Elkanah Music

Wakarimasita, Wakarimasita Ka? is more than just a kids’ song. It’s about honouring the Japanese culture and sharing the gospel with friends. During 1997 when I returned to Auckland to finish my degree I met a group of Asian students who helped broaden my view of their culture. We did many things together, shared cultural meals went on holiday and just sat around and talked between classes. As most of the Kiwi friends were Christian, religion would often come up as a topic and we would discuss the traditions and fears of different types of religion verses the relationship that we can have with God through Jesus. A key phrase during this time became Wakarimashita, Wakarimashita Ka? As we would check for understanding and clarification about different issues. As a result of our friendships two of the students became Christians which was pretty awesome and hopefully they have been able to grow in their faith and influence their families and communities. The words Wakarimashita, Wakarimashita Ka? were chosen for the chorus in memory of those friends.  Bruce Jones

The Prodigal Bug

I'm a bug, a bug, a big green bug
With legs, legs, big hairy legs
Got a spike on my head and a sting in my base
And eyes that seem to say 'Get off of my case
And get outta my face..'

1. I saw a caterpillar on a leaf today
Just chomping and chomping his life away
But he told me that Jesus was God's only Son
And a butterfly is what he'd become, but..  CHORUS

2. So I watched for a while, a thought came to me
When people look at me, is that all they see
I might look ugly but I'm soft within
And Jesus is the one who'll take all my sin  
CHORUS

3. So I thought for a while, decided what to do
Jesus is the Man who can make me new
So I said to the Lord 'Come into my heart'
Now I gotta new life, I can make a new start  
CHORUS

LAST CHORUS:
Not just a bug, a bug, a big green bug
With legs, legs, big hairy legs
Got a spike on my head but a Brand New Heart
Cos Jesus gave me a Brand New Start
I said a Brand New Start

Draw me deeper into You
That I may sit in Your presence Lord
Draw me deeper into You
