Church Camp Dance

We're at church camp and our theme for the week is "Step into the Ring." Dan Barlette of Russell Christian is my co-dean this year and next year he will take my place. Dan rented these big blowups and the kids played like the fought each other with big boxing gloves. All the Bible lessons are about fighting the enemy. Round one - "Who is the Enemy". Round two - "God is in our Corner." And so on. Lots of campers and lots of fun. I wrote a song for the talent show and I hope the kids like it. Shayna and her friends are going to dance beside me as I play my guitar. The lyrics are below.

Church Camp Dance

Up in the morning about 8 o’clock. We eat a good breakfast so we never have to stop. Then we all go to chapel and we have our God Time. When we praise the Lord Jesus everything is always fine. Then we go to class and we have our workshop. We’re going to fight the good fight and we’re never going to stop.

Chorus

Cause everybody’s going to step into the ring. Everybody’s going to shout and everybody’s going to sing. You may be surprised so I’ll tell you in advance. That everybody’s going to do the church camp dance.

We all love to play the sports and games. But cabin-cleanup is just a necessary thing. We eat a good lunch and we get our rest. But swimming in the pool is what we all love the best. Then we all go to crafts and to the canteen. It feels so good that everybody’s going to “scream!”

Chorus

Free time is fun and so are special events. Everybody plays and no one sits the bench. When the camp bell rings we all stand in line. Cause everybody’s hungry at supper time. Then Dan leads the worship and he leads it so well. That everybody stands up and gives a great big yell!

Chorus

It happens in the evening when the sun goes down. We build a camp fire and make a great big sound. Cause we worship the Lord with all our might. We praise him every day and we praise him every night. Then it’s back to the cabins, tomorrow we’ll do it again. And everybody at church camp shouts “Amen!”
