Remember songs do not need to be lengthy, as you can see by some of the songs below, and children love repetition. The more simple the song, the better! (Just click on the orange arrow below for the tune!)
THE FAMILY IN GOD'S PLAN
(Eph. 5:23-25; Titus 2:4; Eph. 6:4)
The family in God's plan
Was husband, wife, children
To serve and love
The God above--
That's how the HOME began!
The husband loved the wife,
For his entire life,
She loved him, too,
Their family grew
In harmony, not strife.
To change the world's sad plight,
We need to use God's Light!
It's never to late
To love your mate,
And teach your children right!

Obeyed God, obeyed God.

A great fish gulped Jonah up,
Jonah up, Jonah up.
A great fish gulped Jonah up,
Jonah would not go.
Jonah changed his mind and prayed,
Mind and prayed, mind and prayed.
Jonah changed his mind and prayed,
Jonah chose to go.
God made the fish spit him out,
Spit him out, spit him out.
God made the fish spit him out,
Jonah chose to go.
Jonah preached to Nineveh,
Nineveh, Nineveh.
Jonah preached to Nineveh,
Jonah chose to go.
