Quote of the Day "Faith is the ability to let your light shine even after your fuse is blown." - Unknown

***********

Does anyone that went to either CCD or had some kind of other Christian education learn the "This is a little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine" song? I haven't thought of that thing at years (bringing back memories of classes when I lived in Wellesley at the teacher's house - I think my favorite part was snack time!).

yup. i learned it. my dad was a presbyterian minister. he's now a protestant chaplain. sooo... pretty much can't escape those kinds of songs. i know a million of 'em. *grin*

snacktime always was pretty good.

did you learn "pharaoh, pharaoh" to the tune of "louie, louie" (woah oh, baby we gotta go. yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...) that was a doozie, too :)

*grin*

Recovering Catholic.
*lol*
I actually learned more songs like that in my one stint at Girl Scout camp, than at school.
We sang hymns, and songs about coffee (which STILL keeps me up at night, I find myself singing some songs I learned at age 8 *shudder*)
I got to avoid CCD, they figured I got a daily dose for 12 years, I really didn't need it.

the song that haunts me the most, and appears in my head at inopportune times for no reason at all is "give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning, burning, burning..." (wow, that could be morbidly akin to hell or something! just thought of that!)

but the worst verse of all goes (and i apologize if you know this song and it's stuck in your head forever, now)

give me gas in my ford, keep me truckin' for the lord.
give me gas in my ford, i pray (hallelu)
give me gas in my ford, keep me truckin' for the lord.
keep me truckin' til the break of day.

(oh good god... did i really sing that in my head? noooooo.....)

I learned it in Sunday school- 'let it shine, all the time, let it shine' :)

I learned it when I did a stint as a 7th day adventist.......

This little light of mine.
Let there be peace on earth.
The one about Noah building the ark ("I want two alligators, and long-neck geese. Two humpty-back camels and chimpanzees. Cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you are born, don't you forget my unicorns") -- I still sing this one a LOT.
Jesus loves me (this I know, for the bible tells me so).
The other Noah/ark one (The lord said to noah, there's gonna be a floody-floody).
The fishermen (There were three jolly fishermen).

Rainbow made of children (girlscouts).
...a lot of the ones I learned in girlscouts I can NOT get rid of no matter how hard I try.

I have been looking for all of the words to rainbow made of children the one that goes
I was Born in Mississippi, Sayin yes sir to every man but I found that it got me nowhere so I'll never say it again
We're a rainbow made of children we're an army just singin our song, theres no weapons that can stop us, rainbow love is much to strong

If you have the words please may I have them?

You just reminded me of the Brownie song:

I've got something in my pocket, it belongs across my face
And I keep it very close at hand in a most familiar place
I'm sure you couldn't guess it if you guessed a long long while
So I'll take it out and I'll put it on its a great big Brownie smile!
