God's Love Don't Stop

Written by Heath Baltzglier and John Delich


CHORUS
God’s love (Point both fingers up) don’t stop (Both hands out in stop position) no matter what (Cross hands in front of body and shake head no)

And it doesn’t ever stop! (Jump and put both hands out in stop position)

VERSE
It’s wider than my arms can reach (Stretch arms out wide)
It’s higher than a tall, tall tree (Stretch arms up tall)
It’s longer than a choo, choo train (Arms like a choo-choo and march)
It’s deeper than a big fish tank (Pretend to swim like a fish)

God’s love (Point both fingers up) goes on and on, and on and on (Roll fists and forearms over each other to left and right)
And it doesn’t ever stop! (Jump and put both hands out in stop position)

Wider! (Arms out) Higher! (Arms up) Deeper! (Touch toes) Longer! (Arms to front and back)
It doesn’t ever stop (Jump and put both hands out in stop position)

Happy New Year!

It's January, and a brand new year, in Critter Street! Happy 2013! This month our bottom line is "I can talk to Jesus." Our goal this month is that our preschoolers would know that in any situation they can talk to Jesus. That they can tell Him when they need help, when they are scared, and when they are thankful. There is always time to talk to Jesus. Below you'll find the monthly parent cues, just click on the image for a closer look!
