This morning Craig gave the chapel talk at Jemilla's school, NIS. The topic was "self-control" so he asked Jemilla to act out a song.
Here are the lyrics to "Self-Control" from Music Machine.
Once I had a knot in my shoe
And it would not come loose
I tried and tried and pried and pried
But it would not come loose
I got so mad I kicked the door
and stubbed my little toe, ohhh
If only I had learned a little bit of self-control
Self-control is just controlling myself
It's listening to my heart
And doing what is
Self-control is the very best way to go
So I think that I'll control myself
I never like to brush my teeth
I wish that I could stop
I'd have more time for
And drinking soda pop
But soon my teeth would hurt so bad
From all the cavities, oh me!
I'd better learn some self-control
So this won't happen to me
Self-control is just controlling myself
It's listening to my heart
And doing what is
Self-control is the very best way to go
So I think that I'll control myself
Both Craig and I performed in the musical "Music Machine" when we were very young, so it's nice that our children still enjoy the same fun tunes and Christian-values-though-drama as we did.
Craig used the Bible story of Jesus being thrice tempted by Satan to demonstrate to the studenets how Jesus used self-control. Jemilla was so proud to have her Daddy as the guest speaker.
I bet it made for a very interesting chapel session. The kids will love remembering Mr Harvey!
ReplyDeleteI remember performing from that same musical as a child! I'm fairly sure that was one of the songs, too...
