BETTER THAN CANDY

Download Lyrics

1. Better than Candy
Birthday parties, flying a kite
Playing with dogs, staying up late at night
Ice cream and chocolate, donuts and sweets
These are a few of my favorite treats
But I love you, Jesus, more than these things
You’re better than candy; you’re more fun than swings
Everything else lasts only a while
But you last forever; you make me smile

2. To Praise You
I wanna be like your creation
I wanna do all things in praise
I wanna be a graceful oak tree
And my branches I would raise
I would fall like rain to serve you
I would spread my wings and fly
I would smell good like a pretty flower
And your name I’d glorify
I wanna laugh along with the daffodils
I wanna roll along with the rolling hills
I wanna run along with the running streams
Shine like the sun with bright, warm beams
To praise you; oh, oh, oh
I wanna make waves like the ocean
And dance like a willow tree
I wanna grow green like the fresh grass
And make honey like a bumble bee
I would blow like wind to serve you
I would sing like a bird up high
I would shine bright like a pretty flower
And your name I’d glorify

3. Brand New Clothes
Thank you, God, for all my clothes
Thank you, also, for all of those
That I’ve had up ‘til now and for
Those you’ll give me forevermore
Someday I’ll wear brand new clothes
You will give me a pure, white robe
It won’t be hand-me-down, it won’t wear out
It won’t go out of style, and it won’t need Shout!

4. Every Day
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, Saturday
Every day’s a good day to praise the Lord
Every day’s a good day to read the Word
Every day’s a good day to serve the Lord

5. Whatever
Whatever you do, whatever you say
Do all in the name of Jesus
Whatever you do at work or play
Do all in the name of the Lord

Whatever I do, whatever I say
I’ll do all in the name of Jesus
Whatever I do at work or play
I’ll do all in the name of the Lord

Whatever we do, whatever we say
We’ll do all in the name of Jesus
Whatever we do at work or play
We’ll do all in the name of the Lord

6. God So Loved
(For) God so loved the world that he gave his son
That whoever believes in him
Should not perish but have everlasting life
John 3:16 and 17
God sent not his son to the world to condemn the world
Rather that the world might be save through him (repeat)

7. I Wonder Why
I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder why
Jesus had to come to earth, hang on a cross and die
Why he had to pay the price for sins he didn’t do
I guess there was no better way to show his love for you
And me and Mom, and Daddy too

8. Gimme Five!
You are a Christian; I’m a Christian too
Gimme five, gimme five, give me five
You’re on your way to heaven. I am going there too
 Gimme five, gimme five, give me five
You and I were sinners, Jesus saved us both
We’re equal in the eyes of the Lord
You and I were sinners, Jesus saved us both We’re equal in the eyes of the Lord

9. I Will Be With You
When you are in danger, Jesus is with you
You don’t need to be afraid; here is what to do
Talk to him, listen to him, trust in him
He will show you what to do

When I am in danger, Jesus is with me
I don’t need to be afraid; he will help me see
I’ll talk to him, listen to him, trust in him
He will show me what to do

When you are in danger, I will be with you
You don’t need to be afraid; here is what to do
Talk to me, listen to me, trust in me
I will show you what to do

When I am in danger, you will be with me
I don’t need to be afraid; you will help me see
I’ll talk to you, listen to you, trust in you
You will show me what to do
God will show you what to do!

10. Cabbage Patch Dolls
Have you ever seen my Cabbage Patch doll?
She’s not especially cute or tall
She can’t sing or dance or play ball
She can’t do much at all
But, you know I couldn’t help but fall in love
With my very own Cabbage Patch doll
Now, just what’s so very unique
About a doll that can’t even speak?
She’s not strong; in fact, she’s weak
And she’s not exactly chic
But I’m just itching to sneak another peek
 ‘Cause my doll’s got a certain mystique
It’s ‘cause there’s none other like her
There’s none other like her
There’s no other doll in the world like mine
I’m in love with my Cabbage Patch doll
Sometimes I get to feeling small
‘Cause I’m not especially cute or tall
I can’t sing or dance or play ball
I can’t do much at all
Now just what makes me unique?
About all I can do is speak
I’m not strong; in fact, I’m weak
And I’m not exactly chic
It’s that there’s none other like me
There’s none other like me
There’s no other kid in the world like me
I’m God’s little Cabbage Patch doll
There’s none other like you
There’s none other like you
There’s no other kid in the world like you
You’re God’s little Cabbage Patch doll
Yes, he’s in love with us all
And he’s adopted us all
We’re God’s little Cabbage Patch dolls

11. Transformers
The very first Transformer went up on a mountain height
His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white. His friends who stood by and watched
They had never seen such a sight
They fell on their faces, but he picked them up
And told them not to be filled with fright
He’s Jesus, the Transformer (Repeat)
Now you can be a transformer, changed by God’s power and might
Your face will shine like the sun as your heart becomes dazzling white
Your friends who stand by and watch
They’ll have never seen such a sight
When they fall on their faces you can pick them up
And tell them how they, too, can take flight
With Jesus, the Transformer (Repeat)

Even Satan is a transformer, posing as an angel of light
His workers are decepticons, disguised as servants of right
Let’s not just stand by and watch
We’ve transformed so we can push back the night
When they fall on their faces they will never get up
Then all will know we’ve won the fight
Through Jesus, the Transformer (Repeat)

We’re transformers!

12. Walk With Jesus
To get to heaven you gotta go straight
Walk on the path behind Jesus
Next to this road there are detours and dangers
So don’t turn to the right or the left
/ Walk...with Jesus. /
Get down off your throne, pass Pride Street
 You’ll have to cross through the fountain
 A door will be in front of you
 Enter the church, and you’ll not be far from heaven as you
/ Walk...with Jesus. /

 13. Better than Candy (Hoedown version)
Birthday parties, flying a kite
Playing with dogs, staying up late at night
Ice cream and chocolate, donuts and sweets
These are a few of my favorite treats
But I love you, Jesus, more than these things
You’re better than candy; you’re more fun than swings
Everything else lasts only a while
But you last forever; you make me smile

14. A to Z (see Revelation 1:11-17)
Hey, B., see that Man? Oh, gee!
He is Jesus, such a sight to see
Curious as it may be, He loves you, and he loves me
Now I know my A to Z
Next time won’t you sing with me
...Now we know our A to Z
We’re as happy as can be
We’re as happy as can be
We know our A to Z!

15. Target: Jesus
The Father is the Archer
The Spirit is the Bow
The Son is the Target
You’re the arrow
The Father is the Archer
The Spirit is the Bow
The Son is the Target
You’re the arrow
You’re the arrow
Place yourself in the hand of the Archer
Brace yourself for a swift departure
He wastes no time pointing you

Toward the image of his Son (3x)

16. Guess What
Guess what! There’s someone who loves you
Guess who! He loves me too
Guess what! There’s someone who died for you
Guess who! He lived as a Jew
*Guess what! Guess who! (Repeat)
Guess what! Can you guess who?
I’ll give you a clue
Guess what? There’s someone who’s watching
Guess who? He’s got you in view
Guess what! There’s one who can change you
Guess who! He’ll make you brand new*
Guess what! Not all go to heaven
Guess who! Only a few
Guess what! There’s one who can take you
Guess who! I think you know who*
...I gave you a clue
It’s Jesus! You guessed it right
Christ Jesus! He’s heaven’s light
Yes, Jesus! You’re in his sight I’m sure you knew it all along (3x)

17. Obviously! (with motions)
Some things go without saying (cover mouth)
Some things are open and shut (arms out; then a clap)
Some things are staring you right in the face (exaggerated staring at someone)
Some things are simply clear-cut (one hand axes the palm of the other hand)
Plain as day (hand on forehead, shielding eyes from the sun)
Clear as a bell (hold up imaginary bell and strike it twice)
Standing out like a sore thumb; ouch! (holding thumb; face grimaces)
Right in view; in front of you (pointing at the floor)
As plain as the nose on my face (touch nose)

Some things go without saying (cover mouth)
Some things are open and shut (arms out; then a clap)
Some things are staring you right in the face (exaggerated staring at someone)
Some things are simply clear-cut (one hand axes the palm of the other hand)

God’s love (arms form X across chest)
Your need, indeed (point at someone)
The fact that we’re all gonna die someday (laying head on hands on shoulder)
Because of sin (fingers do the shame-shame sign)
We can’t get in (shake finger and head)
To heaven (point up)
But Christ (touch each wrist)
 Is the way (use both index fingers to point upward)

Some things go without saying (cover mouth)
Some things are open and shut (arms out; then a clap)
Some things are staring you right in the face (exaggerated staring at someone)
Some things are simply clear-cut (one hand axes the palm of the other hand)
Some things are simply clear-cut (one hand axes the palm of the other hand)
Some things are simply clear-cut (one hand axes the palm of the other hand)

18. I Am With You (Genesis 28:15)
I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go
You are with me and will watch over me wherever I go
God is with me and will watch over me wherever I go
God is with you and will watch over you wherever you go

19. I Am Yours
Jesus, I am yours. Jesus, I am yours
Cleanse me so that you can live inside of me.
Do all you need to do so I can truly be forever only yours

20. PJ Prayer
I feel so comfy in my pajamas
Cuddling with my mommy, daddy, gramps or grandma
I like feeling cozy, warm and safe and snuggly
Thank you, God, for these things
I feel so comfy in my pajamas
Cuddling with my mommy, daddy, gramps or grandma
I like feeling cozy, warm and safe and snuggly
Thank you, God, for these things
  [End: ...you give me, a home and family; my home and family]
Some kids are sleeping tonight out in the streets alone
They have no bed, no pajamas, no parents, and no home
God, please protect and help them
Show them that you are there
Provide them a home and family Food and clothes to wear

21. For You / Por ti
Jesus died for you; Jesus died for me
Jesus died, Jesus died; He paid our penalty
Jesús murió por ti; Jesús murió por mí
Jesús murió, Jesús murió; nuestro castigo pagó
Jesus is alive; Jesus is alive
He rose again from the grave
Now He’s at the Father’s side
Jesús resucitó
Jesús resucitó. Resucitó. Resucitó
Luego al cielo volvió
Jesus will return. Jesus will return
We wait for Him expectantly
We’ll live with Him eternally
Jesús regresará. Jesús regresará
Regresará. Regresará Al cielo nos llevará

22. Cada día
Domingo, lunes, martes, miércoles, jueves, viernes, sábado
Cada día es bueno para alabar al Señor

Cada día es bueno para leer la palabra
Domingo, lunes, martes, miércoles, jueves, viernes, sábado Cada día es bueno para servir al Señor

23. Yo estoy contigo

24. ¡Chócale!
Cristiano eres tú
Cristiano soy yo también
¡Chócale! ¡Chócale! ¡Chócale!
El cielo es tu destino
Al cielo voy yo también
¡Chócale! ¡Chócale! ¡Chócale!
Pecadores fuimos tú y yo
A los dos Jesús salvó
E iguales somos a los ojos del Señor
Pecadores fuimos tú y yo
A los dos Jesús salvó
E iguales somos a los ojos del Señor

¡Chócale!

25. Camina con Cristo
Para llegar al cielo hay que seguir derecho
Sigue por el camino, detrás de Jesucristo
Al lado de este camino hay desvíos y peligros
No debes doblar a la derecha ni tampoco a la izquierda
Camina... con Cristo
Camina... con Jesucristo
Bájate de tu trono; pasa la Calle del Orgullo
Hay que cruzar por la fuente; una puerta estará enfrente
Al entrar a la iglesia ya te queda cerca
No estás lejos del cielo mientras caminas con Cristo
Camina... con Cristo
Camina... con Jesucristo.

26. Te amo, Jesús
Celebrar mi cumpleaños
Bañarme en el mar
Jugar con mis amigos
Pintar y dibujar
Helados, pasteles, chocolate y maní
Estas son las cosas que me gustan a mí
Pero más aun que a éstas te amo, Jesús
Más que a los columpios, el circo, los dulces
Estos duran sólo un rato, no más
Pero tú, para siempre, me alegrarás

27. Oración en piyama
En mi piyama siento comodita
Con Mamá, Papá, Abuelo o Abuelita
Abrazada, protegida, amada y querida
Por estas cosas, gracias Dios
En mi piyama siento comodita
Con Mamá, Papá, Abuelo o Abuelita
Abrazada, protegida, amada y querida
Por estas cosas, gracias Dios
  [Fin: ...me has dado cama, hogar y familia; cama, hogar y familia]
Esta noche algunos niños están durmiendo afuera, solos
Ellos no tienen piyama, padres, casa ni cama
Ayúdales, Dios, por favor
Muéstrales tu presencia
Dales ropa, comida, cama, hogar y familia
