ACCESS Ministry repeatedly says that “proselytising is forbidden”! in CRE … but just have a look at what your kids are told to sing in CRE under the direction of ACCESS Ministry.
These are all songs written for “child evangelism” to communicate the ideas that fundamentalists believe. (God Created Cows)
Some of the songs are just outright crazy (The red stripes on Candy Cane’s represent the blood Jesus shed), and all the songs reflect a view that children should look at “God” as a personal friend (There is nothing my God can not do … for you).
This is “fundamentalism” in song, for kids … approved by the Minister of Education and distributed by ACCESS Ministries … who swear on a stack of bibles that they “don’t proselytise” … these songs are evidence that they are lying about what they do in CRE!

1. Everyday Is A Brand New Day
Everyday is a brand new day
Everyday is a brand new day with God
Don’t worry about yesterday
when you went your own way
Get back on track follow God’s road
He’ll never leave you all alone
Don’t worry about yesterday
when you had the wrong things to say
God forgives you that’s for sure
His grace is towards you all the more
Sunrise to sunset, sunrise to sunset
Everyday is a brand new day
Music and Lyrics by Rebecca Tabor
Jesus said, ‘I am the Truth’
Jesus said, ‘I am the Life’
‘I am the way, the truth and the life Without me, no one can get to the Father.’
John 14 verse 6
Jesus said, ‘I am the way.’
c Tony Jones
3. Did It All.
Hey, hey, hey
Come and see the water changed to wine
Come and see the dead raised to life
Come and see the sick woman healed
Check it out now, see it’s for real.
I said Jesus, the Lord Jesus, did it all.
Come and see, how He calmed the storm
Come and see, He made the lame walk
Come and hear, what He has to say His love and message will blow
you away.
Come and see how He died for you He rose again, come and see that it’s true
You won’t regret it, I guarantee Come and meet Him, just come and see.
I said, Jesus, the Lord Jesus, did it all.
lyrics, music n chiswell 2008 www.nickychiswell.com
Jesus went in a boat to sail, (Out on the water)
And Jesus is the Lord of the wind and the waves.
Storm came up and a’rocked the boat, (Out on the water)
But Jesus is the Lord of the wind and the waves.
Jesus’ friends were afraid they’d drown, (Out on the water)
But Jesus is the Lord of the wind and the waves.
Jesus calmed the wind and waves,
(Out on the water)
And Jesus is the Lord of the wind and the waves.
Trust in him when your life gets rough, (Out on the water)
‘Cos Jesus is the Lord of the wind and the waves.
J. Macpherson, 1999 from ‘Outrageous Praise’
Jesus is powerful
He made everything you see He shows he’s powerful
By loving you and me.
He has, power over the waves He even calmed the sea
He has, power to heal the sick He has power over death (YES!)
Words and music Tom Connally CD 1996
6. Good Mate
Jesus is a good mate, he cares about his friends,
Jesus is a good mate, his friends he will defend,
Jesus is a good mate, his love will never end,
I can be a good mate too!
I can hug my friends when they are crying,
and I can talk to them when they feel sad,
We can play lots of games, and have a good laugh, and hang out together, And I can help them if they get mad!
Jesus is a good mate, the truth he always tells,
Jesus is a good mate, he listens
very well,
Jesus is a good mate, he’d never say ‘You smell!’,
I can be a good mate too!
Jesus is a good mate.
I can be a good mate too!

This is a commandment that God has given you
You’ve gotta…
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and mind and soul
You’ve gotta
Love the Lord Your God with all
your heart and all your soul and all your mind
Love your neighbour as yourself — ooh, ooh
Love your neighbour as yourself
This is a commandment that God has given you.

9. God Forgives
If you’re sorry to God
for things you’ve done wrong
God forgives
Been trying so hard, but you mess
up again.
God forgives
When God forgives He means it When God forgives you know it’s true When God forgives, you’re completely clean
Your life is made brand new.
If you’re down and ashamed
For living your way
God forgives
Jesus came and died, to forgive sin. God forgives

10.Sorry
Sorry comes in one step, two steps, three steps
Sorry comes in three steps, one, two, three.
Sorry comes in one step, two steps, three steps
Sorry comes in three steps, one, two, three.
One step: you have to say ‘I’m sorry’. Two steps: ‘can we be friends again?’
Three steps: You’ve got to turn and walk away
From the bad thing you did that you were sorry for,
And that means — what does it mean?
You’ve got to try never to do it again. Yeah, you’ve got to try real, real hard.
You’ve got to try never to do it again. With God’s help it’s not a problem
at all.
With God’s help it’s not a problem at all.
With God’s help it’s not a problem at all.
Two, three, four, five, six, seven — NO WORRIES!

God’s big, big and strong.
Big and strong and mighty! He’s huge
…He’s humongous …He’s stupendous …He’s tremendous
…He’s ginormous
… He’s girono-normy-super-gantifabulouso
‘Wow, God’s big!’
He’s so big, he created the whole universe,
He’s so mighty that he stopped the biggest storm,
He’s so strong, he parted the Red Sea
How big and strong and mighty is our God!
He’s so big, yet he still cares for the sparrows,
He’s so mighty, yet he whispers in my ear,
He’s so strong, yet he’s with us in Our sorrow,
How big and strong and mighty is our God!

He made you He made me He made everything you see. He made day He made night He made everything alright. He made up He made down He made everything around.
He is Lord of all, He is Lord of all
Turned our backs walked away Wouldn’t live the way He’d say. Sent His Son, only one
who could pay for what we’d done. Died for sin, rose again
We might live forever with Him.
He is Lord of all, He is Lord of all He is Lord of all, He is Lord of all He is Lord of all, He is Lord of all He is Lord of all, He is Lord of all.

13. My God Is So Big
My God is so big,
So strong and so mighty,
There’s nothing my God cannot do. My God is so big,
So strong and so mighty,
There’s nothing my God cannot do. The mountains are His,
The rivers are His,
The whole world is under His smile. My God is so big,
So strong and so mighty,
There’s nothing my God cannot do.

18. Pharaoh Pharaoh
To the tune of “Louie Louie”
(I said) Pharaoh, Pharaoh (ooh baby) Let my people go (uh) Yeah, yeah, yeah. [x2]
Well a burning bush told me just the other day
That I should come over here and stay
Got to get my people out of
Pharaoh’s land,
And lead them all to the Promised Land.
So me and my people goin’ to the Red Sea
And Pharaoh’s army coming after me I raised my rod, stuck it in the sand And all of God’s people walked on dry land.
Well old Pharaoh’s army’s coming too So what do you think That I did do? Well I raised my rod and cleared
iny throat
And all of Pharaoh’s army did the ‘dead man’s float’.

20. The Story Of The Candy Cane
Christmas time is here, you can see it all around
Buy a candy cane, and turn it up side down
Can you see the J, it stands for Jesus Christ
And the night that he was born, an Israelite
Oh Candy canes, Jesus reigns, do you know the King
The red stands for the blood he shed, to wash away our sin – hey Candy canes, Jesus reigns, do you know the King
The white stands for the day he rose, so we could be with him
Look the other way, can you see a shepherd’s staff
For they were the first, to see the King that night
Can you see the J, it stands for Jesus Christ
And the night that he was born an Israelite
Now you know the tale, of the candy cane is real
Jesus is the King, the Lord of everything
So sweet as candy be, it reminds us all that Jesus
Loved us all so very much he died to set us free

The blessing of God be upon you,

The blessing of God be within you, and among you,
wherever you go.
Wherever you go,

The blessing of God be upon you, and around you,
Wherever you go.
The blessing of God be within you, and among you,
wherever you go.
