Thread Name: Bible School songs
Subject: RE: Bible School songs / Singspiration
My mother used to sing "Brighten the Corner Where You Are" to me in Spanish - although she doesn't know Spanish from Swahili. *g*

It went something like:
"Brilla encelia (sp?) donde ust' e (x2)
Puedes con (something) ....
Brilla encilia (sp?) donde ust' e."

Maybe someone here knows it.

We also did a lot of songs that were in that little song booklet that I think was titled "Singspiration."   They included:

I've Got The Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy Down In My Heart
This Little Light
Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam
Jesus Loves The Little Children
Jesus Loves Me
Jacob's Ladder
and
Give Me Oil In My Lamp

My favorite verse of "Give Me Oil ..." is the one that goes:

"Give me umption in my gumption, let me function ..."
