The Butterfly Song (If I Were a Butterfly)
|
|
This is a great song PLUS series of crafts to do over a few weeks at Sunday
school or...
Have the different classes do a different craft and put them all on
popsicle sticks to make puppets). Then get together or in front of the congregation
and sing the song (have all the children hide their puppets behind their back). Pull
out the puppets and wave them around during the various parts of the song.
I'd like to add my special thanks to the folks at the www.butterflysong.com
website for pointing out a few words I had wrong and for graciously allowing us
to keep the content on the site. They have the sheet music, a Christian
Children's Songbook and the CD for sale on their site so make sure to check
out their on-line store, there are lots of other great songs like this one
available on the CD..

If I were a butterfly, I’d thank you
Lord for giving me wings
If I were a robin in
a tree, I’d thank you Lord that I could sing
If I were a fish in
the sea, I’d wiggle my tail and I’d giggle with glee
But I just thank you father for making me, me
For
you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile
You gave me Jesus and you made me your child
And I just thank you Father for making me, me
If
I were an elephant,
I’d thank you Lord by raising my trunk
If I were a kangaroo,
You know I’d hop right up to you
If I were an octopus,
I’d thank you Lord for my fine looks
But I just thank you Father for making me, me
For you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile
You gave me Jesus and you made me your child
And I just thank you Father for making me, me
If
I were a wiggly worm,
I’d thank you Lord that I could squirm
If I were a fuzzy wuzzy bear,
I’d thank you Lord for my fuzzy, wuzzy hair
If I were a crocodile,
I’d thank you Lord for my great smile
But I just thank you Father for making me, me
For
you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile
You gave me Jesus and you made me your child
And I just thank you Father for making me, me
