Jims job is a songwriter of children's praise & worship songs. I have decided for the start of this new venture not to charge but am leaving it it for you to decide what these songs are worth to you personally. For some they will be new. for lots of people these songs will take them back to their childhood.
Enjoy the songs, enjoy the memories
God Bless
Jim

The first of Jim's story songs. at least two story songs would appear on each album. Children are spiritually aware but have no guide book. The best guidebook is the best instructions before leaving earth. Right from the off Jim's aim was to introduce and connect bible stories and parables with children. Making them relevant & memorable & attractive. God is my Shepherd when performed also included jims use of visuals to tell the story and the finale of producing a life size sheep puppet to finish the song off ( no gravy & peas through)
lyrics
There once was a shepherd in old Israel
He looked after his sheep & cared for them well
Led them, fed them , took them for a walk
And to his sheep he would talk, he would say
God is my shepherd, he looks after me
I will never be lonely
God is my shepherd I've nothing to fear
because God my shepherd is near
After a days work he would count his sheep
Making sure he didn't count himself too sleep
Ninety eight ninety nine.... ninety eight ninehty nine
He counted again, there was one sheep gone from the pen
He counted a third time , it was still the same
So he began checking the sheep all by name
There was huey, Lewy, Duey & poppie
But where was little lamb Chopie ?
He looked in the hen house, the haystack, the hedge
Up in the mountains, down over a ledge
He was tired & hungry , He had achy feet
When he heard a little lambs bleat
He found lamb chopie stuck in the mud
He grabbed hold of his legs & pulled hard as he could
He pulled so hard he fell back with a thud
And was covered all over in mud
They had a party when they got home, silly strong it went silly
And streamers were blown
Everybody was happy lamb chopie was found
So they sang this song out loud
God is the shepherd, you and me are the lamb
He looks for us as hard as he can
When he finds us, what joy it brings
that is why we can sing
God is my shepherd, he looks after me
I will never be lonely
God is my shepherd I've nothing to fear
because God my shepherd is near
