SUNDAY SCHOOL ENGLISH SONGS

 


 

Father , I place into your hands

Father, I place into Your hands the things that I can’t do

Father, I place into Your hands the times that I’ve been through.

Father, I place into Your hands the way that I should go,

for I know I always can trust You.

 

Father, I place into Your hands my friends and family.

Father, I place into Your hands the things that trouble me.

Father, I place into  Your hands the person I would be,

for I know I always can trust You

 

Father, we love to seek Your face, we love to hear Your voice .

Father, we love to sing Your praise, and in Your name rejoice.

Father, we love to walk with you and in Your presence rest,

for we know we always can trust You.

 

Father, I want to be with You and do the things You do.

Father, I want to speak the words that You are speaking too.

Father, I want to love the ones that You will draw to You,

for I know that I am one with You.

 

Peter and John

Peter and John went to pray ,

they met a lame man on the way;

He asked for alms and held up his palms

and this is what Peter did say:

 

“Silver and gold have I none ,

But such as I have I give thee,

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,

rise up and walk!”

 

He went walking and leaping and praising God,

walking and leaping and praising God.

“In the name of Jesus Christ of  Nazareth,

rise up and walk!”


Make Way

Make way, make way, for Christ the King

In splendour arrives.

Fling wide the gates and welcome Him

Into your lives.

 

Chorus

Make way!  (Make way!)

Make way!  (Make way!)

For the King of kings, (or the King of kings)

Make way, (Make way!)

And let His Kingdom in.

 

He comes the broken hearts to heal,

the prisoners to free,

the deaf shall hear, the lame shall  dance,

The blind shall see

 

And those who mourn with heavy hearts,

Who weep and sigh:

with laughter, joy and royal crown

He’ll beautify.

 

We call you now to worship Him as Lord of all. To have no gods before Him,

Their thrones must fall!

 

Jumping up and down

(Jumping up and down) x 3 , shout Hosanna, Hosanna!

(Jumping up and down) x 3 , shout Hosanna, Hosanna!

Here comes Jesus riding on a donkey

Hosanna, Hosanna , Hosanna to the King

wave your branches of the trees before Him

Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna to the King

(Jesus is alive) x 3, shout Hosanna, Hosanna!

(Jesus is alive) x 3, shout Hosanna, Hosanna!

Here comes Jesus rising up in glory

Hosanna , Hosanna , Hosanna to the King

He’s alive, let’s tell the world the story.

Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna, to the King.

 

As we are gathered

As we are gathered , Jesus is here;

one with each other, Jesus is here;

joined by the Spirit, washed in the blood,

part of the body,               the church of God.

As we are gathered , Jesus is here;

one with each other, Jesus is here.

 

Come on and celebrate

Come on and celebrate his gift of love ,

we will celebrate the Son of God who loved us and gave us life.

We’ll shout your praise, O king, you give us  joy nothing else can bring,

we’ll give to you our offering in celebration praise.

(Come on and celebrate, celebrate, celebrate and sing, celebrate and sing to the King.)2

 

Seek ye first the kingdom of God

Seek ye first the kingdom of God

and his righteousness,

and all these things shall be added unto you,

Allelu, alleluia. (Alleluia!)3 Allelu, alleluia!

 

Man shall not live by bread alone,

but by every word

that proceeds from the mouth of God.

Allelu, alleluia. (Alleluia!)3 Allelu, alleluia!

 

Ask and it shall be given unto you,

seek and ye shall find;

knock and it shall be opened unto you.

Allelu, alleluia. (Alleluia!)3 Allelu, alleluia!

 

Abba, Father, let me be

Abba, Father, let me be yours and your alone.

May my will forever be more and more your own.

Never let my heart grow cold, never let me go.

Abba, Father, let me be yours and your alone.

 

Jesus put this song into our hearts

(Jesus put this song into our hearts)2

It’s a song of joy no one can take away,

Jesus put this song into our hearts

(Jesus taught us how to live in harmony)2

different faces, different races, he made us one,

Jesus taught us how to live in harmony

(Jesus taught us how to be a family)2

Loving one another with the love he gives

Jesus taught us how to be a family


I am in the Lord’s army

 

I may never march in the infantry

ride with the cavalry, shoot with the artillery,

I may never zoom o’er the enemy,

for I’m in the Lord’s army.

I’m in the Lord’s army (Yes, sir!)

I’m in the Lord’s army (Yes, sir!)

(Repeat)

They’ll Know We Are Christians by our Love

We are one in the spirit, we are one in the Lord,

We are one in the spirit, we are one in the Lord,

And we pray that all unity may one day be restored

We will walk with each other we will walk hand in hand,

We will walk with each other we will walk hand in hand,

And together we’ll spread the news that God is in our land;

We will work with each other we will work side by side,

We will work with each other we will work side by side,

And we’ll guard each man’s dignity and save each man’s pride;

All praise to the Father, from whom all things come,

And all praise to Christ Jesus, His only Son,

And all praise to the Spirit who makes one;

Chorus

And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love,

yes they’ll know we are Christians by our love.

 

He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands

He’s got the whole world in His Hands (4)

He’s got the moon and the stars in His Hands (4)

He’s got the sun and the sky in His Hands (4)

He’s got the tiny little baby in His Hands (4)

He’s got you and me in His Hands (4)

He’s got everybody here in His Hands (4)

He’s got the whole world in His Hands (4)

 

Be Bold, Be Strong

(Be bold, be strong ,

for the Lord your God is with you;) x2

I am not afraid, No! No! No!

I am not dismayed, not me!

because I’m walking in faith and victory,

come on and walk in faith and victory,

for the Lord your God is with you.

 

Higher, higher

when the saints go marching in.

2.   O when they crown him Lord of all, (2)

    O Lord, …. when they crown him Lord of all

My God is so big

My God is so big ,

so strong and so mighty there’s nothing that he cannot do.

My God is so big,

so strong and so mighty there’s nothing that he cannot do.

The mountains are his ,

the valleys are his ,

the stars are his handy work  too.

My God is so big ,

so strong and so mighty

there’s nothing that he cannot do.

 

All Heaven Declares

All heaven declares the glory of the risen Lord.

Who can compare with the beauty of the Lord?

Forever He will be the lamb upon the throne.

I gladly bow the knee and worship Him alone.

I will proclaim the glory of the risen Lord.

Who once was slain to reconcile us to God.

Forever You will be the lamb upon the throne.

I gladly bow the knee and worship You alone.

 

Majesty

Majesty, worship His majesty,

unto Jesus be glory, honour and praise.

Majesty , kingdom authority

flows from His throne unto His own,

His anthem raise.

So exalt, lift up on high the name of Jesus;

magnify ,come glorify,

Christ Jesus the King.

Majesty, worship His majesty,

Jesus who died ,now glorified, King of all kings

 

Nothing Shall Separate Us

Chorus:

(Nothing shall separate us from the love of God) x2

God did not spare his only Son,

gave him to save us all.

Sin’s price was met by Jesus’ death

and heaven’s mercy falls.

 

Up from the grave Jesus was raised

to sit at Gods right hand;

pleading our cause in heaven’s courts,

forgiven we can stand.

 

Now by God’s grace we have embraced

a life set free from sin;

we shall deny all that destroys

our union with him.

 

How Great Thou Art

O Lord , my God, when I ,in awesome wonder,

consider all the works Thy Hands has made ,

I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder

Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

 

Chorus:

(Then sings my soul ,my Saviour God ,to Thee:

how great Thou art, how great Thou art. ) x2

 

When through the woods and forest glades I wander,

and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;

when I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,

and hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

 

And when I think that God , his Son not sparing,

sent Him to die I scarce can take it in

that on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,

He bled and died to take away my sin.

 

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation,

and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart;

then I shall bow in humble adoration,

and there proclaim: my God, how great thou art.

 

Silent night

Silent night, holy night.  All is calm, all is bright,

round you virgin mother and Child;

Holy Infant, so tender and mild,

Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night.  Shepherds quake at the sight,

glories stream from heaven afar,

heavenly hosts sing alleluia:

Christ the Saviour is born, Christ the Saviour is born.

Silent night, holy night.  Son of God, love’s pure light,

radiant beams from Thy holy face,

with the dawn of redeeming grace:

Jesus, Lord at Thy birth, Jesus, Lord at Thy birth.

The Love I have for you

The love I have for you, my Lord,

is only a shadow of your love for me;

only a shadow of your love for me; your deep abiding love

Chorus

(My life is in your hand;) x2

My love for you will grow, my God.  

Your light in me will shine

The dream I have today, my Lord,

is only a shadow of your dreams for me;

only a shadow of all that will be;  if I but follow you.

The joy I feel today, my Lord,

is only a shadow of your joys for me;

only a shadow of your joys for me;  when meet face to face.

 

We Three Kings

We three Kings of orient are

bearing gifts we traverse afar

field and fountain, moor and mountain following yonder star.

Chorus:

star of wonder , star of light,

star of royal beauty bright

westward leading still proceeding,

guide us to thy perfect light

Born a king on Bethlehem plain

gold I bring to crown Him again

King forever ceasing never

over us all to reign.

 

Frankincense to offer have I

incense owns a deity nigh

prayer and praising, all men raising

worship Him ,God most high.

Myrrh is mine, is bitter perfume

breathes a life of gathering gloom

Sorrowing ,sighing, bleeding dying

scaled in the stone cold tomb.

Glorious now behold Him arise

King and God and sacrifice

Alleluia, Alleluia!

Peals through the earth and skies.

 

Jingle Bells

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride

in a one horse open sleigh.

Oh! Jingle bells. Jingle bells.

Jingle all the way!

Oh ,what fun it is to ride

in a one horse open sleigh.

 

Dashing through the snow

in a one horse open sleigh

o’er the fields we go

laughing all the way ,Ha, Ha, Ha,

Bells on bobtail ring

making spirits bright,

what fun it’s to ride and sing

a sleighing song tonight.

 

Day or two ago

I thought I’d take a ride

soon Miss Lanny Bright

was seated at my side.

The horse was lean and lank

misfortune seemed his lot

he got into a drifted bank

and we, we got up sot.

 

Now the ground is white,

go it while your young;

take the group tonight

and sing this sleighing song.

Just get a bobtailed bay,

Two forty for his speed,

then hitch him to an open sleigh

and crack- you’ll take the lead.
