Peter’s songs

These are the four songs I sang to Peter every night until he turned 10!

Don’t You Know (from Jeremiah 1:5, Isaiah 49:16, and Jeremiah 29:11): “Don’t you know that He formed you? Before you were born, He knew you! Can’t you see that His plans for you are good? Look and see, He’s engraved you On the palm of His hands. Look and see, He’s engraved you on His hands.”

Jesus Loves Me (slightly modified from the traditional words!): “Jesus loves me, this I know, For the Bible tells me so! Little ones to Him belong – They are weak, but He is strong! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! (boom, boom, boom) Yes, Jesus loves me, The Bible tells me so! (ho, ho ho)”

May the Lord bless you (from Numbers 6:24 – 26): “May the Lord bless you and keep you, The Lord make His face to shine upon you And be gracious unto you, The Lord lift up His countenance upon you And give you peace.”

Peter’s song – Precious one: “Precious one, you’re my little treasure. Precious one, a gift from the Lord. I love you so, my little son, I praise God for what He’s done In making you so beautiful, precious one. Precious one, you have lovely deep blue eyes, Precious one, and a tiny button nose, It’s so very sweet When you wave your arms and clap your feet. I love to hold you oh, so close, precious son!”
