What Makes You A Christian?
-
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) ..ChristianHaving 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 -
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
-
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 LordGlory 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 -
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
-
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 joyGreat 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! -
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 slingCHORUS
-
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 bustleCHORUS

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

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

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 SoxCHORUS

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

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

For all our stinky sin

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
-
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 shelfMINI-CHORUS
-
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 wrongMINI-CHORUS
-
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 youCHORUS
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:

Indian Jones is no match for who I am

Wakarimasita (Japanese))
Wakarimasita, wakarimasita ka
Wakarimasita, wakarimasita 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 beginCHORUS
by Bruce Jones © 2003 Elkanah Music
www.elkanah.org.nz info@elkanah.org.nzWakarimasita, 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..'-
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
-
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 sinCHORUS
-
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 startCHORUS
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

Let your glory fall
May the knowledge of your presence
Be the source of joy within us
Send your Spirit, dwell among us

As we bow before your throne
Let your mercy flow
Cleanse our sin, renew us

We proclaim you are our God
From your throne you rule the Nations
Yet we walk where you have trod -

As our lives are yours alone
Show your majesty
Help us walk in righteousness
Separate us for your purpose
May our living & our loving

Amazing Sacrifice
-
It was not silver or gold
That paid the price for me
But it was the Blood of the Lamb
That set me free
My debt was so great I had no way to repay
So in reckless abandonment
I reach for your blood todaySo I take this bread
And remember your body
I take this cup and remember your life
And I thank you for your Amazing Sacrifice.. -
Jesus stands before me now
His hands of love displayed
His broken body and bleeding brow
Speak of the price he’s paid
And I fall down on my knees
I cannot comprehend
That the God of the whole universe
To me His Son would send..

Looking At The Father

Looking at the Father, listening to the Son
Guided by the Spirit, our Lord God 3in1
His Word a lamp so glorious, a light upon our way
Looking at the Father, listening to what he’ll say -
Looking at the Father, I’ll boast in Him alone
Let me tell his greatness
He melts this heart of stone
I cry to the Lord and he answers me
And takes away my fear
Looking at the Father, His presence is very near -
Looking at the Father, people give him praise
Lifting up your voices, his anthem we will raise
For he’s the One who saves us
We’ve everything we need
Looking at the Father, so beautiful indeedBRIDGE
Taste and see that the Lord is good
The joy of those who trust him
Those who look to Him for help
Will be radiant with joy....

Bought With A Price 1 Cor 6:20
You were bought with a price
You are not your own
You were bought with a price
You are not your own-
Therefore honour God with your body
Therefore honour God in what you say
Living a life that’s worthy of your calling
Today and every single day.. -
You in the turmoil of your life
You in the valley of decision
Struggling with the pain and the loneliness
Receive this vision, receive this vision.. -

Jesus in the agony of prayer
Finally accepts his Fathers will
And does not succumb to despair, to despair..

Broken Heart Luke 4:18
-
Lord, I bring you my broken heart
Lord, I give you my aching heart
Feel like I’m fallin, fallin apart
So Lord I bring you my broken heartSo much pain, so little gain
And my life goes round in a circle
Agonising self-doubt, turned inside out
And I’m prayin for a simple miracle -
Lord, I bring you my broken heart
Lord, I give you my aching heart
Seems like I’m searchin for that missin part
So Lord I bring you my broken heartA sense of loss, of loneliness and cost
And the pointlessness of it all
Cant find my way, there’s nothin left to say
And I feel like a simple fool -
Lord, I bring you my broken heart
Lord, I give you my aching heart
Seems like I’m always right at the start
So Lord I bring you my broken heart“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me
Because He has anointed me
To preach Good News to the poor
He has sent me to proclaim:
Captives released, blind shall see
To bind up the broken hearted..”

No Eye Has Seen 1 Cor 2:9
No eye has seen, no ear has heard
No mind imagined what God has prepared
For those who love Him
No eye has seen, no ear has heard
And no mind imagined what God has preparedWhen I was lost, on my own pathway
Gave no thought for the Lord
And I thought He for me
But through the love of a friend
And the embrace of a brother
I began to see his love for meAnd now that I’m found and follow His ways
His blessing is great & his grace amazing, so amazing
I will never turn back though the pathway is long
And the trials are hard to perfect this song..by Jules Riding © 1999 Elkanah Music

I Believe
I believe in life after death
I believe in the Resurrection
I believe in miracles of healing
And listening to the Lord's directionI believe in the Holy Spirit
His voice whispering sweet comfort in your ear
I believe that we always have a choice
To overcome every single fearI believe in the fellowship of saints
I believe in daily Bible study
I believe in prayin to God for the lost
I believe in helping everybody (that you can)I believe we're gonna see Jesus one day soon
We'll stand before Him open and exposed
Every motive, every mission laid bare
By the super-power of the Holy GhostI believe in World War Three
I believe that money doesn't talk it $wears
I believe society is wholeheartedly sick
Of feeding on and selling its own waresI believe that you and I have a plan
To do our own thing, follow our own way
The selfishness common to every single man
Leads us struggling in the frayI believe in staying faithful to your wife
In a faithless generation
I believe in giving Jesus your whole life
He is the ultimate celebrationI believe that God is now calling us
To lift the banner & sceptre of His sacrificial love
I believe the world is tearing itself to pieces
It needs the comfort and the leading

Who Am I?
I sit in your presence Lord
I come to worship you alone
I bring you all I am and all that I am not
And I worship at your throneI’ve been the prodigal
I’ve been through endless fire
And suffered the affliction of following my own way
I’ve felt the countless loss
I’ve seen the passing years
The folly of my selfishness leads me just to say..Who am I? Who am I?
Who am I Lord? Who am I Lord?“You’re my child and I love you
I want the best for you, I’ve got a plan for your life
I’ve seen all you’ve been thru, I bind up your wounds
I love you, let me now heal your heart
In my presence is fullness of joy
In my presence is fullness of joy
In my presence I will heal your heart
Come into my presence, there’s fullness of joy”by Jules Riding © 1999 Elkanah Music

Create In Me Ps 51
-
Create in me a pure heart O God
And renew a right spirit in me
Create in me a pure heart O God
And renew a right spirit in me -
Have mercy on me O God
According to your unfailing love
According to your compassion
Blot out my transgression.. -
Hide your face from my sins
And blot out my iniquity
Let me hear joy and gladness
Let the bones you have crushed rejoice! -
Don’t cast me from your presence
Or take your Holy Spirit from me
Give me back the joy of salvation
Renew a willing spirit to sustain me..Then I will teach the fallen of your ways
To lead their hearts from sin back to you
For the sacrifice acceptable to God
Is a broken spirit
A broken and a humble heart
You wont despise, you wont despise

Look to the Hills Paraphrase of Ps 121
-
The road has been long, the trials have been hard
The lessons come slowly some times
We’ve been misunderstood and not done what we should
The road ahead just climbs and climbsCHORUS
So we look to the hills with light in our eyes
A song on our tongues we sing
Yes Jesus is Lord He’s risen from the dead
And its Him we proclaim as King -
The challenges of faith we haven’t always met
Some times fear in our heart has been our guide
But as we speak the Word the fears seem so absurd
And there isn’t any need to hide CHORUS -
The world closes in with cynicism and sin
It can offer no hope just despair
And I feel sucked down by the ever-sinking ground
But before I choke I’m coming up for air CHORUS

Rev 19:11-16
CHORUS:
King of Kings, Lord of Lords
He's the Rider on the White Horse X2-
I saw heaven standing open
And there before me was a white horse
Whose rider is called Faith and True
With justice, He judges and makes warCHORUS
-
His eyes are like blazing fire
And on His head are many crowns
He has a name written on Him
That no one but He Himself knowsCHORUS
-
He's dressed in a robe dipped in blood
And His name is the Word of God
BRIDGE:
The armies of heaven were following Him
Riding on whites horses
And dressed in fine linen, white and clean
Out of His mouth comes a sharp sword
With which to strike down the nations
He'll rule them with an iron sceptre
He treads the winepress of the fury
Of the wrath of God Almighty
On His robe, on His thigh
He has this name writtenCHORUS
