I like to make up songs for my girls. Could you call that a hobby? Don't laugh at me, I actually find it quite amusing! I did it alot when Kay was a baby, but now I don't have as much thought time to sit around and think up songs as often... : ) I also can forget a song as quickly as I make it up unfortunately..... so I want to write out all the songs I have written so far for my girlies so I will never forget them!
Kay's Lullaby -(my own version of a song my mom sang to me, tune of "When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder")
Mommy loves her baby girl, she's the sweetest in the world.
Mommy loves her little bitty baby girl..
She's so soft and sweet, from her head down to her feet,
Mommy loves her little bitty baby girl.
Kay Noel, she's the sweetest in the world,
Kay Noel, she's the sweetest in the world,
Kay Noel, she's the sweetest little girl....
Mommy loves her little bitty baby girl.
Jane's Lullaby-(to the tune of a song book called "Tingalayo")
Jane Abigail, sweet little Momma's girl.
Jane Abigail, sweet little Momma's girl.
I loved you right from the start,
My little sunshine, you warm my heart.
I loved you right from the start,
My little sunshine, you warm my heart.
Our Goodnight Song- (tune of "Holy Holy Holy")
Goodnight little one, goodnight.
It's time to go to bed.
We've had a really fun day, but now we must lay down our heads.
I'll kiss you and I'll hug you,
I'll hold you in my arms too.
Mommy and Daddy, love you, yes we do.
Philippians 4:4 (tune of "Rise and Shine and Give God the Glory")
Rejoice in the Lord, always.
Rejoice in the Lord, always.
Again I'll say, Rejoice!
Philippians 4:4
Our Family Song (Probably Kay's favorite)- own tune
Who's in our family?
Who's in our family?
Momma, Daddy, Kay, and Jane!
I love our family.
I love our family.
Momma, Daddy, Kay, and Jane!
I had to do a bath song because it's a favorite time around our house!
Bathtime Song (to tune of hand slapping game I played with my friends in elementary school called "Miss Sue"... any girl remembers those hand slapping games if you went to public school)
Splish Splash (clap clap clap)
Splish Splash (clap clap clap)
If Mom said it's okay,
We'd stay in here all day!
Sittin in the bubbles, drinkin up the water,
Takin the soap and scrubbin...scrubbin scrubbin scrubbin.
Scrubbin....scrubbin, scrubbin, scrubbin.
ABCDEFG.... wash that soap right off of me.
HIJKLMNOP.... now it's time to say "We're clean!!"
Beautiful Song (can't remember where I saw this song, but I changed some words to make it my own)
Beautiful faces are they that wear... the light of a gentle spirit there.
Beautiful hands are they that do.... acts that are noble, good and true.
Beautiful feet are they that go.... swiftly to ease another's woe.
Brushin Your Teeth Song (wish I could say I made this one up, but I learned it off one of Kay's little shows)
Brush your teeth, teeth, brush your little teeth.
Brush your little teeth with me!
Oh, brush your teeth, teeth, brush your little teeth.
Cmon and brush em with me!
We're gonna brush em till they're nice and white!
So get your toothbrush and we'll brush em up right!
So brush your teeth, teeth, brush your little teeth.
Cmon and brush em,
Brush em, brush em, brush em.
Brush your little teeth with me!
And each of my girls have their special hymn.
Kay's Hymn:
How Great Thou Art
O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works thy hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed;
Refrain:
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Verse 2:
When through the woods and forest glades I wander
and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
when I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,
and hear the brook, and feel he gentle breeze
Verse 3:
And when I think that God his son not sparing,
Sent him to die - I scarce can take it in,
That on the cross my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin:
Verse 4:
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home- what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, my God, how great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Jane's Hymn:
Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.
When we've been there, ten thousand years;
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise;
Than when we'd first begun.
So those are all the little songs we sing around here. Hopefully there will be many more to come!
