God's Love Camp Song
We usually sing it at opening campfires...It only takes a spark to get a fire goingAnd soon all those around can warm up to its glowingThat's how it is with God's loveOnce you've experienced itYou spread your love to everyoneYou want to pass it onWhat a wondrous time is spring when all the trees are buddingThe birds begin to sing, the flowers start their bloomingThat's how it is with God's loveOnce you've experienced itYou want to sing, it's fresh like springYou want to pass it onI wish for you my friend, this happiness that I've foundYou can come join in, it matters not where you're boundI'll shout it from the mountain topsI want the world to knowThe joy of friends has come to meI want to pass it on
Happiness
Happiness moves in a circular motionKind of like a little ship upon the seaYou can be part of anythingAnywhereYou can be happy if you let yourself be

I Like the Mountains
I like the mountainsI like the rolling hillsI like the flowersI like the daffodilsI like the firesideWhen all the lights are lowBoom dee yaddaBoom dee yaddaBoom dee yadda

The Watermelon Song
Just plant a little watermelon on my grave,and let the juice (slurp sound) trickle through,Just plant a little watermelon on my grave,That's all I ask of you.Now fried chicken is mighty mighty fine, but there's nothing quite as fine as a watermelone vine, so plant a little watermelon on my grave,and let the juice (slurp sound) trickle through.
Spider's Web
It's a web like a spider's web, made of silver light and shadowSpun by the moon in my room at nightIt's a web made to catch a dream, hold it fast 'til I awakenAs if to tell me that my dream is of you.
It's a web like a spider's webSpun by the moon in my room at night.It's a web made to catch a dream As if to tell me that my dream is of you.

I BelieveI believe for every drop of rain that falls,A flower growsI believe that somewhere in the darkest night,A candle glowsI believe for everyone that goes astray,Some one will come to show the wayI believe, I believe. I believe above the storm, The smallest prayer will still be heardI believe that someone in the great somewhereHears every wordEvery time I hear a newborn baby cry Or touch a leaf or see the sky, Then I know why... I believe.

He’s Got the Whole WorldHe's got the whole world in his hands; (Repeat 4x) He's got the wind and the rain in his hands; (Repeat 3x) He's got the whole world in his hands. He's got the sun and the moon . . . He's got the little bitty baby . . . He's got you and me brother . . . He's got everybody here . . .


Let There be Peace on EarthLet there be peace on earth And let it begin with me. Let there be peace on earth The peace that was meant to be. With God as our Father Brothers all are we Let me walk with my brother In perfect harmony. Let peace begin with me Let this be the moment now With every step I take Let this be my solemn vow: To live each moment and love each moment In peace eternally Let there be peace on earth And let it begin with me.

The Happy WandererI love to go a-wandering Along the mountain track, And as a go I love to sing, My knapsack on my back. Chorus Valderi, Valdera, Valderi, Valdera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, Valderi, Valdera, My Knapsack on my back. I love to wander by the stream That dances in the sun. So joyously it calls to me: Come join my happy song. I wave my hat to all I meet And they wave back to me, And blackbirds call so loud and sweet, From every greenwood tree. High overhead the skylarks wing, They never rest at home, But just like me they love to sing, As o'er the world we roam. Oh, may I go a-wandering Until the day I die. And may I always laugh and sing, Beneath God's clear blue sky.

Hymns work great too!!!
