A song for Woodmansterne primary school. It was performed on the last Tuesday assembly of the Summer term. It reminds us that holiday is not so we can be lazy but to have fun, help others and serve our family. Lyrics and chords are below (as well as the original and Cookie Monster Version videos)

I threw my
bag on the floor, ain’t got to work now at all I kicked my
shoes off my feet, And now I’ll watch T.V My Mum is
whinging at me, ”Do chores and turn off T.V” but it’s my
holiday time, I turned the volume up.
Wait! What am I
doing? getting fat with all this chewing lawn is needing
mowing. Should I help my parents, maybe?
CHORUS Hey,
it’s the summer, And I feel lazy, playing consoles, and
watching T.V.
It’s
time to do right, stop thinking of me, start helping others. I
won’t be lazy!
Hey,
it’s the summer, go and climb trees play some football swim
in the sea
I’ll use the body that God gave me for fun
and service. I won’t be lazy!
I’ll
go out, have some fun, not sit all day on my bum, I’ll use my
holiday time, to play out with my friends.
I’ll clean the
table at home,
I’ll
wash the dishes with mum,
I’ll
do whatever I can,
to
love my family.
Great, we’re doing better loving one
another Love like Jesus loves us. I want to be more like him,
today!
CHORUS
BRIDGE C
G When
I live just for myself D my

life is so bad
D
C my
life is so, so bad
But when we live for someone else and
live for Jesus His love completes us and makes us so, so glad.
CHORUS 2 GEm*CD I’ll
use the body that God gave me for fun and service. I won’t
be lazy!
It’s time
to do right, stop thinking of me, start helping others. I
won’t be lazy! Hey,
it’s the summer, go and climb trees play some football swim
in the sea

In case you've not heard it before, here is the original
Scripture knowledge today, even among Christians, is poor. I Have been a student of scripture most of my life and I still find my knowledge lacking, and even more the living out of the message. One great way to help us engage with scripture is Lectio Divina. You may have heard the phrase before. Here is a fantastic introduction by Dr. Joanne Jung to what it is and how to do it. Give it a listen, give it a go and see what God has to say and have you do today.
In the west we are often more comfortable with the New Testament as it fits into the Hellenistic framework we're used to. The Old testament can sometimes feel puzzling and even when we read commentaries it can sometimes be hard to see how they came to that conclusion. Here are 10 principles copied from Julian Freeman which can help us interpret Old Testament narrative passages.
Many of you will already know James Hill. I love his song 'Heart Shaped Tattoo' and so spent this eve working out the chords and tabs for it. I think its pretty good but I'll let you decide for yourself. Download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u825sjayvdu7jug/Heartshapedtattoo.pdf
