Silly Songs

The last few days we started singing all the songs every American Christian child learns at camp in the summer. One of these is "I am a C-H-R-I-S-T-I-A-N". Akachi filmed this one so that he could teach the kids when he got back home. This was among the many songs sung in the back of the van on our way back from church.

We also sang another camp song and created new lyrics for it.

The original lyrics:

Give me oil in my lamp
Keep it burning, burning, burning
Give me oil in my lamp I pray (hallelujah)

Give me oil in my lamp
Keep it burning, burning, burning
Keep it burning 'till the break of day

The lyrics we made up:

Give me juice for my laptop
Keep me planning for the hilltop
Give me juice for my laptop I pray (hallelujah)

Give me juice for my laptop
Keep me planning for the hilltop
Keep me planning ‘till the break of day
-------------------------------------------------------
Give me water we can pump up
So the village they can fill up
Give me water we can pump up we pray (hallelujah)

Give me water we can pump up
So the village they can fill up
Let them fill up till the break of day

Cammie’s casting out the vision
So the team can meet its mission
Cammie’s casting out the vision I pray (hallelujah)

Cammie’s casting out the vision
So the team can meet its mission
She’ll be casting 'till the break of day
-------------------------------------------------------
Poto’s burning down the street
To keep us from the heat
Poto’s burning down the street we pray (hallelujah)

Poto’s burning down the street
To keep us from the heat
He’ll be burning ‘till the break of day
-------------------------------------------------------
Poto’s driving to the site
So the team can get a ride
Poto’s driving to the site we pray (hallelujah)

Poto’s driving to the site
So the team can get a ride
He’ll be driving ‘till the break of day
-------------------------------------------------------
Ginga Ninjas write the plan
But it’s really in God’s hands
Ginga Ninjas make the plans we pray (hallelujah)

Ginga Ninjas write the plan
But it’s really in God’s hands
They’ll be planning ‘till the break of day
-------------------------------------------------------
Akachi’s counting up the cost
So the project won’t be lost
Akachi’s counting up the cost we pray (hallelujah)

Akachi’s counting up the cost
So the project won’t be lost
He’ll be counting ‘till the break of day
-------------------------------------------------------
Tom is planning for the school
So the children will be cool
Tom is planning for the school we pray (hallelujah)

So the children will be cool
He’ll be planning ‘till the break of day

Clear the bush for our Bumjoo
To get the survey done, do
Clear the bush for our Bumjoo we pray (hallelujah)

Clear the bush for our Bumjoo
To get the survey done, do
Clear the bush until the break of day
