Suggested Tunes BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL or ROYAL OAK (7.6.7.6. and refrain)

1. Praise the Lord – it's been a blast –
the summer was so cool!
How come summer goes so fast?
Oh, well – it's back to school.
And though we're not excited,
about all that hard work,
we thank God we're invited
to have the chance to learn!

2. Praise the Lord we've had a break
(the summer was so cool),
played and laughed until we ached,
but now it's back to school;
We thank God for the classes,
although it's not all fun.
We pray for all our teachers,
God loves them – every one!

3. Praise the Lord we've had such fun
(the summer was so cool),
lazing, lying in the sun,
but now it's back to school.
And God will also go to school,
His Spirit lives in us!
We'll tell them there that “Jesus rules!”
In God we really trust.
