NICE ONE JESUS
1. He's the cause of Christmas Day - nice one, Jesus.
Slept where animals eat their hay - Jesus, number one.
Shepherds heard the angels' joy - nice one, Jesus.
Peace'll come through this one boy - Jesus, number one.
2. Wise men came from far away - nice one, Jesus.
following a star, they say - Jesus, number one.
gave him gifts of great expense - nice one, Jesus.
gold and myrrh and frankincense - Jesus, number one.
Na-na, na-na, na-na-nah! Na-na, na-na, na-na-nah!
3. What was wrong he made all right
Turned our blindness into sight
Filled the hungry with his bread
And he even raised the dead
4. He said we should worry less
Life is more than we possess
'Look at birds and flowers too
- God will care the same for you'
5. He was led from Nazareth
to the cross and into death
Fixed a broken world that way
lost his life but won the day
6. Naturally God made him rise
Even so we rubbed our eyes
And he's still alive and well
He'll be here for quite a spell.
Na-na ...
Na-na ...

1995. Soon after coming back from the Queensland trip with Jon and Thom, I had a session to do for the Golden Grove Primary. I wanted a song to tell Jesus' story with responses in it. It was originally meant to focus more on the suffering and death, but didn't quite come out that way. |
ALWS 29/5/24
In May 2023 we travelled to the Mentawai Islands in Indonesia, seeing work supported by Australian Lutheran World Service. Dorothy and I are Ambassadors for the ALWS programme, Lives You Touch. We are encouraging people to leave money in their will for the work of ALWS. We committed to leave a third of our will many years ago and hope many others can touch lives in this way.
Last year we visited churches in SA, Vic, Qld and WA with Jonathan & Julie Krause promoting the cause of ALWS.
Coming up soon:
* Nuriootpa (St Petri) Saturday June 22, 4 pm
To be confirmed:
Bordertown July 28,
Everton Park (Qld) August 17,

Looking forward to seeing you at one of these events
