The Harvest of Love An empty bowl, a crying child, A mother filled with dread.

An empty cup, a scorching sun, A dried up river bed.

An empty sack, a crying child, A father filled with fear.

A barren field, an empty store, The crops have failed this year.

We must be aware and show that we care, So let’s work together in this world we share.

Let’s learn how to give, to help others live, And reap the harvest of love

A bowl of maize, a smiling child, A lorry bringing aid,

A brimming cup, a sheltered home, A difference has been made.

A sack of maize, a smiling child, A lorry bringing seed,

A planted field, a waiting store, Hope for those in need.

We must be aware and show that we care, So let’s work together in this world we share.

Let’s learn how to give, to help others live, And reap the harvest of love.

Reap the harvest of love

HARVEST SAMBA

Cabbages and greens, Broccoli and beans, Cauliflower and roasted potatoes, Taste so good to me! Apricots and plums, Ripened in the sun. Oranges and yellow bananas, Good for everyone.

It’s another Harvest Festival When we bring our fruit and veg’tables, ‘Cause we want to share the best of all The good things that we’ve been given. It’s another opportunity, To be grateful for the food we eat, With a samba celebration to say Thank you to God the Father

Golden corn and wheat, Oats and sugar beet, Fluffy rice and tasty spaghetti, Wonderful to eat! Coffee, cocoa, tea, Growing nat’rally, Herbal plants and all kinds of spices, Very nice indeed!

The Butterfly Song

If I were a butterfly I'd thank you Lord for giving me wings

If I were a robin in a tree I'd thank you Lord that I could sing

If I were a fish in the sea I'd wiggle my tail and I'd giggle with glee But I just thank you Father for making

me, me

For you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile

You gave me Jesus and you made me

your child

And I just thank you Father for making me, me

If I were an elephant I'd thank you Lord by raising my trunk

If I were a kangaroo You know I'd hop right up to you

If I were an octopus I'd thank you Lord for my fine looks

But I just thank you Father for making me, me

If I were a wiggly worm I'd thank you Lord that I could squirm

If I were a fuzzy, wuzzy bear I'd thank you Lord for my fuzzy, wuzzy

hair If I were a crocodile

I'd thank you Lord for my great smile But I just thank you Father for

making me, me

God created them all

Sun and moon and the star-lit sky,

God created them all. Rivers and seas and the oceans wide,

He created them all. Forests and fields and the deserts dry,

God created them all. Valleys and foothills and mountains high,

He created them all.

Chorus God looked down from heaven, He was pleased,………o yeah. Everything was just as it should be,…….ah ha.

Ev-er-y creature that moves and breathes,

God created them all. Fliers and swimmers and some with feet,

He created them all. Beautiful flowers and fruitful trees,

God created them all. Ev-er-y plant that you’ll ever see,

He created them all.

Chorus God looked down from heaven, He was pleased,………o yeah. Everything was just as it should be,…….ah ha

Summer and Autumn, and Winter and Spring, God created them all.

Each of the changes the seasons bring, He created them all.

Thunder and lightning, the rain and wind, God created them all.

Glorious sunsets and snowy scenes, He created them all.

Chorus God looked down from heaven, He was pleased,………o yeah. Everything was just as it should be,…….ah ha. God created the whole wide world, He created it all!

AS ONE We’ve got to get on together

Think of each other, Look at ways to help us get along.

If we can learn how to listen, Where there’s division,

We can live as one. (Repeat – 1st time only)

We’ve got to trust one another, Stand with each other,

Fix our eyes on all that’s right not wrong. If we can learn to be sorry,

Love everybody, We can live as one.

(Repeat – 1st time only)

Repeat song twice

We can live as one We can live as one

4 & 19

What have you done to make a

difference to the lives of others?
