Servin'

ok... here's the deal... Our youth group decided to enter this video contest that was being held for all the mennonite youth groups in the country... to "Creatively Define Service from a Christian Perspective" was the challenge, and we took it on with enthusiasm. We decided to produce a music video, so first we had to write a song... Well anyway, we wrote this song that we called SERVIN', and we made a music video for it. Well, we won the video contest and then the response became overwhelming... now we are getting significant airplay on several Christian radio stations. Made it onto Skanktified, WJTL's 1998 compilation Stay tuned here for more interesting developments with this crazy song...

Servin' LYRICS:

Servin'
My the weather's nice today
Got no homework hip-ho ray
What to do I don't quite know
Guess I'll watch a TV show

 

Wait I've got a better plan
Let's be helpful come on man
Look around the neighborhood
We could help them. . .Yes we should

 

now we're cruisin' down the street
hey let's serve "the least of these"
have a party, have a blast
all while servin' Christ OH YEAH!

 

a revolution - biblical,
its always sacrifishikal
enough with words, we'll show you now
enough with words, we'll show you how we're

 

Chorus:
Servin' La la la
Servin' La la la
Servin' La la la
Servin' La la la

 

Mow the lawn and walk the dogs
chop some wood and haul the logs
Help a lady cross the street
goodness gracious "Ain't you sweet!"

 

Paper plastic both can rip
tall tall bushes clip clip snip
Wash a car or fix a flat
Serve the Lord in ways like that

 

Wouldn't it be downright neat,
to serve by cleaning up their street.
Other jobs they too are cool
like fixin' Miss Roberta's stool

 

Teach my neighbor how to bike
I think he said his name was Mike
Hanging wash and pulling weeds
What a hoot to do good deeds while
Chorus:
bridge:
they don't care how much you know
until they know how much you care
they don't care how much you know
until they know how much you care

 

[trumpet solo much rejoicing abounds!!]

 

some may wonder if we're mad
But serving others makes us glad
When they ask us why we care
It's Jesus Christ we want to share

 

What we've learned and want to show
Is "Jesus loves me this I know"
The only Gospel some may see
Is Jesus' love through you and me, we're
chorus, chorus etc.
