Father’s Day Sojourn Kids Music by Bill Bell
Male singer and guitarist: “Hi, I’m Mr. (First name)”
Female singer: “I’m Ms. (First name)”
Guitarist/other instrumentalist: “I’m Mr. (First name)”
Male Singer/Guitarist: Does anyone know what holiday we celebrate this month? That’s right, Father’s Day. Father’s Day is a day that our whole country celebrates daddies. Dads are the ones who protect their families and care for them in hard times. When you fall and scrape your knee, it might be your daddy who picks you up and holds you while you cry. Can you tell of other times where your daddy cared for you in hard or painful times? (take 2 or 3 stories) Well, God the Father is like that, but even more so. He cares for us perfectly and is always there when things are good or bad. This song tells about this Father, who cares for all his children every moment of every day.
1. “Sovereign One” Words and Music by Zach Jones (c) 2004 Sovereign Grace Music
Female Singer: Do you all know the ultimate way that God showed his love for us? By sending his Son to die for us. “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this, while we were sinners Christ died for us.” God the Father did something really loving when he sent his Son to die for sinners like you and me. And by doing this, he invites sinners to call him Father for all of eternity—that’s a long time! Let’s sing this song to help us remember: “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this, while we were sinners Christ died for us.”
2. “Romans 5:8 (NIV) Scripture Memory Song,” Music by Mark Altrogge, as Recored on “A Ransom For Many,” Hide The Word, Volume 2 © Forever Grateful Music
Male Singer/Guitarist: Some of you may have daddies that you see every day. Some of you don’t have a daddy who’s around very much. Some of you may not have a daddy at all. Whether your dad is around a lot or not, no dad is perfect because every dad is a sinner just like I am and just like you are. Because we all sin, we fail not only to love each other perfectly, but also to love God perfectly. When we or daddies or mommies or whoever should show love all the time, we fail and show anger or meanness or rudeness or disrespect. But God the Father has a love that is unending. For those that believe in him, he never turns his back, never fails, never leaves, never lets go. His love lasts forever.
3. “Your Love” Words and music by Bob Kauflin (c) 2004 Sovereign Grace Praise
Guitarist or other instrumentalist: We are going to pray. . . fold your hands and be still and talk to God. Let’s pray.
Thank you, God, for sending your Son to die on the cross so that all who believe in you can call you our heavenly Father. And thank you for letting us see what your love and care is like through our daddies here on earth. Help us to honor our fathers. Please show special grace to our dads as they love us. Help them to trust in Jesus alone for salvation and hope. God, help our dads to teach us about you every day. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
