"I have a couple of songs that I have been singing with my mom and in children's church since I was little, I now lead them in our Sunday School and the kids love them."
Actions in blue.
Chords for the song.

In the beginning, God made the sea {spread your hands out to make a wavy sea in front of you}
And the forest filled with trees {bring your arms up and out at the shoulders, hands pointed down, to make a tree}
He made the mountains up so high {Bring your arms above your head and make a mountain pointed over you head}
And on the top he placed the sky {Leave one hand pointed up and use the other to make a motion over the mountain for the sky}
God's fingerprints are everywhere, showing us how much he cares. {with your fingers make a sign of a little (forefinger and thumb close together but not touching) and bring it across your face like you are looking through it}
{Drop voice to a low deep voice} Hippo who weighs a ton {Make your hands out like a fat hippo and hunch down}
Hip-hip-hip-hippopotamus {Jump up and down as a "Hippo", with a low voice still}
Hip-hip-hooray God made us {Raise your hands in praise and jump for joy, use a normal voice for this line}
Hip-hip-hip-hippopotamus {Jump up and down as a "Hippo", with a low voice}
Hip-hip-hooray God made us {Raise your hands in praise and jump for joy, use a normal voice for this line}
