Track 1
It's chapel day, it's chapel day,
We're gonna have a break with God on chapel day, on chapel day
We're gonna sit, sit, sit, sit, sit
We're gonna listen, listen, listen, listen, listen
We're gonna sing, sing, la, la, la
We're gonna glisten, glisten with our smile
We're gonna pray, pray, pray, pray, pray
We're gonna grow into people of God
We're gonna do all of this because it's chapel day, YAY!
Track 2 · Genesis 1
In the beginning, God created everything.
In the beginning, even bugs with little wings.
In the beginning, God created dark & light.
In the beginning, God created day & night.
And then God said that it was good.
In the beginning, God created earth & sky.
In the beginning, God created oceans wide.
In the beginning, God made birds and fish so free.
In the beginning, God made animals, even bees.
And then God said that it was good.
In the beginning, God created people, too.
In the beginning, girls & boys like me and you.
In the beginning, God took a break on the 7th day.
In the beginning, that's when God made naps okay.
And then God said that it was good.
Track 3 · Genesis 2–3
God told Adam and Eve to name all the creatures on the earth so free
God told Adam and Eve to name all the fishes in the deep blue sea
They saw a creature with a big long nose
And ears that went down to its toes
It had a very big footprint
What did they call it? Elephant
They saw a creature jump out of the sea
With a funky back about the size of a tree
It had a fin that looked like a sail
What did they call it? Whale.
God told Adam and Eve to name all the creatures on the earth so free
God told Adam and Eve to name all the fishes in the deep blue sea
They saw a creature crawling down on the ground
With a rock-hard shell that's kind of round.
It took a nap by a crepe myrtle
What did they call it? Turtle
They saw a creature that bounced around
It was always happy, it never frowned.
A hole in the ground is where it would inhabit
What did they call it? Rabbit
God told Adam and Eve to name all the creatures on the earth so free
God told Adam and Eve to name all the fishes in the deep blue sea
Track 4 · Genesis 6–9
God said to Noah build a great big boat
And when the waters rise the animals they will float
God said to Noah, all the animals you must find
Everything upon the earth, I'm saving, they are mine.
Go find two monkeys, two bears,
Two walruses, two hares. (they're like rabbits)
Go find two zebras, two orangutans,
Two platypii, and two sheep, my man
And bring them to your big boat.
Go find two rattlesnakes, two geckos,
Two turtle doves, and two tree toads
Go find two ostriches, two hawks,
Two dogs, with hair like Goldilocks,
And bring them to your big boat.
Go find two beetles, two pigs
Two lions, two wolves that like to dig
Two rhinos, two giraffes, two hyenas
Who like to make him laugh,
And bring them to your big boat.
Track 5 · Genesis 21
Go to sleep Isaac
Go to sleep dear
You're our miracle baby
You're the answer to prayer
Abraham
And Sarah, too
They trusted in God
And so can you
Go to sleep Isaac
Go to sleep dear
You're our miracle baby
You're the answer to prayer
Track 6 · 1 Samuel 17
David was a boy and Goliath was a giant
David was a boy and Goliath was a giant
Everyone around was scared of Goliath
Except David 'cause he trusted in the Lord
Goliath had a sword and David had a sling
Goliath had a sword but victory it did not bring
David faced Goliath with the power of the Lord
And the giant fell, fell, fell, fell, fell, fell to the ground
Track 7 · Matthew 21
Jesus said to all his friends go and find a donkey
Then his friends went in to that town and they found a donkey
The donkey's name was Pete
He had really smelly feet
And when Jesus saw old Pete,
He said, "Boy, I like your feet," and he got on
Now a large crowd spread their clothes on the road
And the people shouted Hosanna to the Lord
Hosanna nana nana nana nana
Hosanna nana nana nana noo
Hosanna nana nana
The Lord is here for you
Wave your palms, sing your psalms
The Lord is here for you.
Wave your palms, pay your alms
The Lord is here for you.
The Lord is here for you
Track 8 · Luke 15
When you're lost, God will find you
When you're lost, God will find you
When you're lost, God will find you and bring you home
Like a coin under a table
God will spend the whole night long
Just to find you and return you safely home
When you're lost, God will find you
When you're lost, God will find you
When you're lost, God will find you and bring you home
Like a sheep lost among the brambles
When the 99 have ceased to roam.
God will leave everything to find you safely home
When you're lost, God will find you
When you're lost, God will find you
When you're lost, God will find you and bring you home
Like a son who cursed and left his family
And tried to live only for himself
God will make a feast at his return
And welcome him back home
