So I could have eternal life!
Where does He live today?
In heav'n, but He hears me when I pray!

Jesus Died, But Rose Again
to the tune of "Mary Had A Little Lamb"
Jesus died, but rose again
Rose again, rose again.
Jesus died, but rose again
On Easter Sunday morning.

Lord, I Lift Your Name on High
Lord, I lift Your name on high.
Lord, I love to sing Your praises.
I'm so glad you're in my life.
I'm so glad you came to save us.
You came from heaven to earth to show the way,
From the earth to the cross, my debt to pay,
From the cross to the grace,
From the grace to the sky,
Lord I lift Your name on high.

Three Days
fingerplay
Day One--
Hold up one finger.
The guards watched the tomb.
Put hand above eyes. Pretend to watch something intently.
All was quiet.
Hold finger to lips.

Day Two--
Hold up one finger.
The guards watched the tomb.
Put hand above eyes. Pretend to watch something intently.
All was quiet.
Hold finger to lips.

Day Three--
Hold up one finger.
The guards watched the tomb.
Put hand above eyes. Pretend to watch something intently.
All was quiet.
Hold finger to lips.
SUDDENLY!
Jump, as if in shock.
The stone rolled from the door of the tomb.
Make a rolling motion with hands.
Jesus stepped out!
Walk fingers across palm.
God's Son was alive!
Point to sky.


The Bunny Pokey
to the tune of "The Hokey Pokey"
You put your right paws [right hand and foot] in,
you take your right paws out.
You put your right paws in,
and you shake them all about.
You do the Bunny Pokey,
and you hop all around.
That's what it's all about!

You put your left paws in....
Your put your pink nose in...
You put your floppy ears in...
You put your cotton tail in...
You put the whole bunny in...



Did You Ever See a Bunny?
to the tune of "Did you Ever See a Lassie?"
Did you ever see a bunny,
A bunny, a bunny,
Did you ever see a bunny,
Hop this way and that?
Hop this way and that way?
Hop this way and that way?
Did you ever see a bunny,
Hop this way and that?

Did you ever see a bunny,
A bunny, a bunny,
Did you ever see a bunny,
That hopped quite this slow?
Hop this way and that way?
Hop this way and that way?
Did you ever see a bunny,
That hopped quite this slow?

Did you ever see a bunny,
A bunny, a bunny,
Did you ever see a bunny,
That hopped quite this fast?
Hop this way and that way?
Hop this way and that way?
Did you ever see a bunny,
That hopped quite this fast?
