| I lived
in heaven (by Jenny |
I threw this together after reading Penny, WA letter.
(Penny's idea is also under CSMP)
| ME | Did you know that " I lived in heaven" ? |
| Friend | You did? When? |
| ME | "A long time ago" |
| Friend | No way......really? |
| ME | "It is true" (I shared that this statement would be a bold one, not said with a soft tone but a firm conviction) |
| Friend | What did you do there? |
| ME | "Lived there and loved there " |
| Friend | With who? |
| ME | "With people I know, so did you!" |
| Friend | What happened there? |
| ME | Then Heavenly Father presented a beautiful plan |
| Friend | What about? |
| ME | All about earth |
| Friend | Anything else? |
| ME | and eternal salvation for man. |
| Friend | How could we live with God forever again? |
| ME | Father said he needed someone who had enough love |
| Friend | To do what? |
| ME | To give his life |
| Friend | Why? |
| ME | so we all could return there above |
| Friend | What a great blessing! |
| ME | There was another |
| Friend | Who? Satan? |
| ME | who sought for the honor divine |
| Friend | Oh no! What happened? |
| ME (nod head yes) | Jesus said, "Father, send me, and the glory be thine." |
| Friend | Was Jesus chosen? |
| ME | Jesus was chosen |
| Friend | Then what did he do? |
| ME | As the Messiah he came |
| Friend | What does a Messiah do? |
| ME | Conquering evil and death, |
| Friend | Wow! How did he do that? |
| ME | Through his glorious name |
| Friend | What did His sacrifice do for us? |
| ME | Giving us hope |
| Friend | Hope for what? |
| ME | of a wonderful life yet to be |
| Friend | What life is that? |
| ME | Home in that heaven |
| Friend | Is anyone we know in heaven? |
| ME | where Father is waiting for me. |
| Friend | Wow! I hope to return there someday too! |
The kids loved it! I just put up the word strips that were the "answers"
when we got to them. This song has a wonderful message, as they all do.
WE just need to make sure that the children understand what they are singing
so they can get the message also.
Once you go through the song, then you can have a question answer game and use
the questions above to prompt the answers( which are the verses)
