I thought some of you might enjoy this. When I tried to post as a lyric add the combined title Jesus Loves Me(The Cat Came Back) kept jamming the search engine. I guess computers have trouble with some types of humor. I hope someone else enoys it, 'cause I've had great fun with it.


JESUS LOVES ME (The Cat Came Back)
Tinker


Chorus:
Jesus loves me, this I really know-ow-ow
Jesus loves me, the Bible tells me soooo
Jesus loves me, Today and everyday.

1. One day some families brought their kids to meet with Jesus Christ.
The disciples said," Get back, He's a busy man tonight…."
But Jesus said." Come unto me, I love the children so…"
He blessed them and said," Follow where the little children go…"

2.One day He went to Temple and the merchants were all there.
The peddlers and the vendors had all set up their wares….
He tipped over the tables and sent them on their way
This was a House of God a place where we should pray….

3. One day when Jesus visited with friends, or so I've heard
Martha worked and cooked while Mary listened to The Word
Martha felt abused alone ~ strong words to her did tell
But Jesus said His Word comes first , sit down and listen well….

4. A man was traveling far on a long and lonely road,
Was beaten by some thieves, alone and far from home…
A Priest walked by, and a Levite man, they didn't help at all
A Samaritan then carried him---and helped till he stood tall

5. Once there was a Shepard with many many sheep
He cared for them each day, even in his sleep
One day a lamp it strayed away, it seemed forever lost
But the Shepard searched by night and day, he didn't mind the cost…



Song was written when the Vacation Bible School Curriculum music I was asked to lead was so insipid as to be insulting… I couldn't sing it never mind teach it… So in a bit of a snit this was written. Kids respond to the tune as if it's subversive….Folk Theology.
