    Well, what can I say? As soon as I started to play this album I wished myself back with the Explorers group! Either as a leader or a child, I don't mind! Any leader of children may agree with me when I say that a child fired up for God is one thing, but to GET children fired up for God can be quite another matter! For anyone with this problem GET THIS ALBUM! The first track, "D'ya Wanna Be In God's Gang" is an 'amended' version of Gary Glitter's oldie! It immediately took me back to my childhood. A wonderful variety of music on this album, rock and roll, blues, calypso/caribbean types, and even an old crackly 20s sounding track! The majority of songs left me thinking and planning how the children in my own church could do this one, how to make costumes for that one etc. In fact, I took the album to my housegroup to sample for those who actually have children and I had a very difficult task to get it back. The children haven't even heard it yet, but from all of us adults in our housegroup a definite thumbs up.

God said to Joe, go to Ninevah Tell those people all about me Joe said " Nah, It's just too far, Chose someone else there are plenty of fish in the sea" He went down to the travel agent, got a ticket For a boat going the other way He's made his escape but it was to be to late As the storm clouds gathered it began to rain The thunder grew louder the rain it poured The sailors turned green & prayed to the Lord Something was fishy, it was Joe So into the water he had to go Jonah Jonah, What have you done Jonah Jonah where have you gone Jonah Jonah you should have known When God says go, you don't say no He took a deep breath as the sea swallowed him He really wished now He'd learned how to swim In at the deep end he was going to drown It wasn't a whale of a time so God fished him out A big fish swallowed Jonah & from his insides Jonah repented & to the Lord cried He gave the fish indigestion, it could stomach him no more And the fish was sick all over the shore When Jonah obeyed in just eight word one hundred and twenty thousand people turned God's mercy & compassion is for all men to be saved It's not for us to pick & choose But simply obey

O Lord I will sing Your praise O Lord for the many ways that Lord You have been so good to me O Lord I am saved by grace O Lord what has taken place Is more, so much more than I can say Now, I am saved to say That there's no other way Salvation's in the name of Jesus You came & set me free My song will ever be A song of liberty in Jesus

I don't want to ask for anything, but simply thank You Lord For You have been so good to me Much more than I deserve You answer all my prayers before I even say a word I don't want to ask for anything You've already heard I don't want to ask for anything but simply thank You Lord For Jesus You know everything and everything is Yours I'll trust the grace & goodness that have never let me go I don't want to ask for anything You already know When I come to ask for anything Your already there Embracing me with mercy You wrap me in Your care So I can know the intimacy Only found in prayer I don't want to ask for anything Your already there

Goliath was a soul man, listened to it all the time To other forms of music he was just a Philistine He had a go at Israel for their love of rock & roll If they thought he was out of tune they should come & tell him so Goliath was a soul man played a screaming saxophone Giving Israel the blues down the microphone Well Israel rick & rolls dead, as dead as it can be And if you think I'm out of key then come & jam with me You may say that soul is king of the road that rock & roll is through But I'll jam with you, till its proved true and I'll rock the block off you The only sound that could be heard was Israels Knocking knees So to this percussive sound Goliath made his tease " are you mice or musicians" he tauntingly said When from the back david picked up his axe And went to get ahead King Saul the main muso saw Dave with his battered Strat(ocaster) He cried " oh no you can't go with a capo & that Take a nice new expensive guitar, the best money can afford David said "no", I'll just go with the anointing of the Lord Dave & big G began to jam & things they soon grew hot as riff by riff & groove each gave all they'd got Goliath blew the meanest blow that took all off his breath and David prayed before he played Lord help me do my best David hit the fret board & a wild distorted sound echoed through the airwaves smashing everything around Goliath stood in horror frozen by surprise As a power chord like a rolling stone hit him right between the eyes As he hit the carpet, as he bit the dust The Israelites went crazy the Philistines went whoosh The whole word knows the story the faith of Davids told And God's still in the business of using rock & roll

Jesus was preaching the gospel to the poor down in Galilee the disciples said " Jesus send them home for their tea" Jesus said "no, there is no way they're going to go we are going to feed them too" the disciples looked around & thought what are we going to do Judas said "Lord there's nothing in the petty cash". Peter said " I could make it to the shops if i dash" Jesus said " wait a minute, what have we in the place" The disciples looked worried things were comming to the crunch When a little boy said " you can have my packed lunch" Jesus said " that will do nicely, now lets say grace" Well after they prayed the disciples were amazed & couldn't believe their eyes the little they had they gave it too the Lord & boy were they surprised Two fish & five loaves Two fish & five loaves Two fish & five loaves of bread Give it to Jesus & obey what he said Two fish & five loaves Two fish & five loaves Two fish & five loaves of bread Give it to Jesus & obey what he said A five thousand hungry bunch all waiting for their lunch were filled & satisfied that day with just two fish & five loaves and a life that obeys a miracle took place everybody filled their face there were baskets of leftover but nothing went to waste a little given to Jesus goes a very long way Well after you've prayed you will be amazed & will not believe your eyes the little you have give it to the Lord and boy will you be surprised Two fish & five loaves Two fish & five loaves Two fish & five loaves of bread Give it to Jesus & obey what he said Two fish & five loaves Two fish & five loaves Two fish & five loaves of bread Give it to Jesus & obey what he said

When a knight won his spurs In the stories of old Hes was gentle & brave He was gallant & bold With a shield on his arm & A lance in his hand For God & for valour He rode through the land No charger have I And no sword by my side Yet still to adventure & battle I ride Though back into Storyland giants have fled And the knights are no more And the dragons are dead Let faith be my shield And let joy be my steed 'gainst the dragons of anger The ogres of greed And let me set free with the sword of my youth From the castle of darkness The power of the truth

Bells they are ringing Children are singing And we are exalting the name over all Flags they are dancing The church is advancing As we are romancing the name over all Jesus' Kingdom can't be shaken Jesus' promise can't be broken Jesus' Lord of all creation Name over all Jesus' kingdom can't be shaken Jesus truth of liberation Jesus only way to Heaven The name over all
