LYRICS & MUSIC FOR THE SONG
“I HOPE THEY CALL ME ON A MISSION”
Lyrics
-
I hope they call me on a mission
When I have grown a foot or two.
I hope by then I will be ready
To teach and preach and work as missionaries do.
-
I hope that I can share the gospel
With those who want to know the truth.
I want to be a missionary
And serve and help the Lord while I am in my youth.
TO MAKE AND USE: Mount cue cards on the back of each poster that matches with the song verse.
