Rebekah at the Well doc file of lyrics
Our Spiritual Heritage; Quarters 11 & 12, Lesson 14;
(Tune: The blind man went to the well and he prayed)
Abraham went to his servant and said,
Abraham went to his servant and said,
Abraham went to his servant and said,
He said Oh, Oh , Oh,
Find Isaac a wife.
Find Isaac a wife.
Find Isaac a wife.
A wife to take home.
The servant went to the well and he prayed,
The servant went to the well and he prayed,
The servant went to the well and he prayed,
He prayed Oh, Oh, Oh,
Help me find a wife for Isaac.
Help me find a wife for Isaac.
Help me find a wife for Isaac.
A wife to take home.
Rebekah went to the well and she said.
Rebekah went to the well and she said.
Rebekah went to the well and she said.
She said, Oh, Oh, Oh,
Here’s some water to drink.
Here’s some water to drink.
Here’s some water to drink.
And for your camels, too.
God chose Rebekah to be Isaac’s wife,
God chose Rebekah to be Isaac’s wife,
God chose Rebekah to be Isaac’s wife,
Rebekah chose to go
With Abraham’s servant.
With Abraham’s servant.
With Abraham’s servant.
To Isaac’s home.
God answered prayers at the well that day,
God answered prayers at the well that day,
God answered prayers at the well that day,
And he’ll answer us to
If we choose to obey,
If we choose to obey,
If we choose to obey,
He’ll take us home
To heaven some day,
To heaven some day,
To heaven some day,
He’ll take us home,
To heaven some day.

Nadab and Abihu
Sing-along audio file
Nadab and Abihu doc file of lyrics
Our Spiritual Heritage, Quarters 11 & 12, Lesson 15
The Levites were the priests of God.
They were chosen by Aaron’s rod.
Every family had a job to do.
And God has plans for me and you.
We must choose to obey God, obey God.
We must choose to obey God.
Aaron’s two sons, Nadab and Abihu,
They didn’t do what God told them to do.
They offered strange fire before the Lord.
So God sent fire and they were no more.
They didn’t choose to obey God, obey God.
They didn’t choose to obey God.
So when we read our Bible everyday,
When we sing and study and pray.
We must open our eyes and see
That God’s plan is best for me.
We must choose to obey God, obey God.
We must choose to obey God.

Amos
Sing-along audio file
Amos doc file of lyrics
Our Spiritual Heritage, Quarters 11-12, Lesson 20
Amos was a shepherd who
Took care of the sycamores,too.
He didn’t know but God had a plan
For him to be a prophet man.
No one listened to his message from the Lord.
But Amos didn’t stop preaching from God’s word.
Amos was from Tekoa,
South of Jerusalem in Judah.
God sent Amos to Israel
Preaching justice and righteousness, but, oh well!
No one listened to his message from the Lord.
But Amos didn’t stop preaching from God’s word.
God was angry with the northern tribes,
because of all of their evil vibes.
They would be punished with slavery
In Assyrian captivity.
No one listened to his message from the Lord.
But Amos didn’t stop preaching from God’s word.
Jeroboam II was king,
His people were greedy and selfish.
They had big houses and so much more,
Because they didn’t help the poor.
No one listened to his message from the Lord.
But Amos didn’t stop preaching from God’s word.
Part of what Amos prophesied,
Was that Jeroboam II would die.
He was told not to prophesy,
By Bethel’s priest, Amaziah.
No one listened to his message from the Lord.
But Amos didn’t stop preaching from God’s word.
God sent Amos five visions,
About the Israelite nation.
They looked good when you looked at them.
But on the inside they were very rotten.
No one listened to his message from the Lord.
But Amos didn’t stop preaching from God’s word.
God has a plan for you and me,
As part of His special family.
Telling all the people about Jesus,
Is a very special job God has planned for us.
We must listen to God’s message from His word.
And we must be a worker for the Lord.

Jeremiah
sing-along audio file
Amos doc file of lyrics
Our Spiritual Heritage, Quarters 11 and 12, Lesson 22 (Tune: Jeremiah
Was a Bullfrog)
Jeremiah was a prophet.
Hilkiah, the priest, was his dad.
God told him to go and prophecy to Judah
Because they were very bad.
Because they were very bad.
Chorus:
And God said to Jeremiah,
Be bold and not afraid.
Say whatever I command you to
For I am here to deliver you.
When Josiah was the king of Judah
Jeremiah started preaching God’s word.
The temple was repaired and the idols torn down
And the Law of Moses was found.
And the Law of Moses was found.
Chorus
After Josiah, the good king died,
Judah started falling fast.
They were mean to Jeremiah and they wouldn’t hear
That their punishment was very near.
That their punishment was very near.
Chorus
The son of Josiah was an evil man.
His name was Jehoikim.
When Jeremiah sent God’s message on a scroll to him,
He cut them up and even burned them.
He cut them up and even burned them.
Chorus
God gave his people choices.
They could have chosen to follow Him.
But they chose to not obey and they were taken away
By Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.
By Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.
Chorus

Korah, Dathan ,
& Abiram (Tune: Mary had a little
lamb)
Korah,
Dathan, & Abiram
They rebelled, they rebelled
Korah, Dathan, & Abiram
Rebelled against the Lord.
They wanted to take Moses’ place,
Moses’ place, Moses’ place
They wanted to take Moses’ place
So God punished them.
The ground opened up and swallowed them,
Swallowed them, swallowed them
The ground opened up and swallowed them
And all that they had.
Then a fire came down from heaven,
Down from heaven, down from heaven
Then a fire came down from heaven
For the two hundred fifty.

Rahab
(Pop Goes the Weasel)
Rahab lived in Jericho.
She was a fallen woman.
She tricked the king of Jericho
For two spies on the run.
The people were afraid of the Lord,
But Rahab knew the truth;
When the spies came to her house,
She hid them on the roof.
Rahab’s house was on the wall;
The spies went out the window.
She let them down by a long, red rope
And waited for deliverance.
When the walls came tumb(uh)ling down,
Rahab and her family were saved.
She’s now a part of our God’s history,
Because she changed her ways.
==================================================================
