Children of God

I'll be singing this again tomorrow morning, so I may as well put it here while I have it up on my screen.  As silly songs go, it's on the sillier side of daft.  Needless to say, the various animals have various actions/dance moves.  It goes to the tune of 'If I were a Butterfly' which I thought everybody would know when I wrote the lyrics two years ago, but sadly, that particular ohrwurm from my childhood seems to be less ubiquitous now.  I suppose it's also copyrighted, so...what can I say?  You'll have to make up your own tune.  This does in fact have an original tune as well, but it was written by my colleague Chip, and I don't have a way of reproducing it here.

Children of God

To the tune of 'If I were a Butterfly'

A mother hen's children are lucky things

She keeps them safe beneath her wings

And a kangaroo's kids have a comfy couch,

They get to ride inside her pouch,

And hyena babies have a laugh, it's true,

But they're not as lucky as me or you,

'Cos we all get to be called the children of God.

God really loves us, like a mum or a dad,

When we're happy or sad, if we're good or we're bad,

We still get to be called the children of God!

A koala mum is never slack,

She carries her children on her back,

Baby birds eat the juiciest bugs

And I bet mummy bears give the very best hugs,

But all the same, I'm glad I'm me,

Because it says in 1 John 3

That we all get to be called the children of God.

God really loves us, like a mum or a dad,

When we're happy or sad, if we're good or we're bad,

We still get to be called the children of God!
