One of my great joys in life is to be a youth worker in our church. Its generally hard work but very often I get thoroughly blessed. This morning was such a time. We were singing the song "God's love is big" from the Vineyard Great Big God series and doing some very silly moves at the same time.
I felt like David, who danced before the Lord when the ark was returned to Jerusalem in 2 Samuel 6. That's the great thing about having or working with kids - it gives us oh so serious adults a chance to lose our inhibitions and have some fun.
This morning I worshiped like a child and wanted to share some of the words of this great song with you.
God who made the universe
The earth, the sun, the moon and stars
Has a place in His heart for me
From the beginning to the end
God will always be my friend
So I can jump and shout 'cos God loves me
God's love is big, God's love is great
God's love is fab and He's my mate
God's love surrounds me everyday
And I love to sing and say
God's love is big, God's love is strong
God's love goes on and on and on
God's love surrounds me everyday
And I love to sing and say...God loves me WEHAY!
So go on, have a little skip and a dance when no one's looking. God loves you and that is SOOO cool!

This is lovely. I can relate with your experience because I work with the youth in my local assembly. Working with them is truly enriching.
As for your tip about dancing when nobody is watching, NO, I will dance anyhow. Anybody that feels embarrassed that I am dancing for my master should go and hide his face. Halleluyah!!! :-)
It has got to be an awesome experience working with children in the house of the Lord!
I may just do aliitle dance right here at my desk too!
I know what you mean Robert. I serve in childrens ministries also. I got the waddlers and 2 year olds. They sure are a blast. I never thought that I would want to be in a room with 15 2 year olds. I guess that was before Christ though. Thanks for sharing and God bless!!
Mt 18:3 "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
There is a lot to be said for some child-like enthusiasm in worship : ) - Great post

How cool is that, the author of a song we sing at church on my lil' 'ol blog! Simon, we try to run a really "with it" sunday school for our kids, and your music is very much a key part of making that happen!
May God bless you richly in your ministry and I look forward to seeing your website in Jan.

Thank you for posting these lyrics! I simply love this song but THOUGHT that he kept saying that God's love was FAT! (or maybe even worse, Phat!) .... I was REALLY hoping it wasnt that... and am so glad that it isn't!
