' Each Week
On Sunday Day '
Oh once there
was a little boy
Who's name
was Johnny Ray
He loved
to go to Sunday School
Each week
on Sunday day.
He carried
in his little hand
A brown New
Testament
Each Sunday
with a great big smile
Now off to
church he went.
'Jonah and
the whale' he liked
To hear those
stories told
And the one
about Methusalah
The man who
got so old.
Johnny Ray
was such a joy,
He wore the
biggest smile
He loved
to sing those Gospel songs
Now clapping
all the while.
"Jesus loves
me this I know...."
Johnny sang
so happily !
His feet
would tap with every note
Of the "
B-I-B-L-E ".
Johnny Ray
one day grew up
To be a
Preacher man
And still
he loves to sing those songs
About Christ
and the Promised Land.
He's winning
souls for Jesus, see
He tells
about the cross
About the
day at Calvary
Yes he witnesses
to the Lost.
Now every
Sunday morn' and eve'
And every
Wednesday night
Behind the
Pulpit, there he stood
To fight
the winning fight.
Johnny has
a little boy
He named
him Jimmy Ray
He loves
to go to Sunday School
Each week
on Sunday day.
Jimmy Ray,
he loves to sing
And the way
he claps, a sight !
His little
mouth is opened wide,
In his face
there shine's a light.
Jimmy carries
in his little hand
A brown New
Testament
The one his
daddy used to tote
When to Sunday
School he went.
Now Jimmy
Ray is all grown up
He's a soldier
for Jesus Christ
He tells
the Lost about the Love
And our Saviour's
Sacrifice.
Still has
that New Testament
Tho' it's
tattered, old and worn
He gave it
to his little boy
But not a
single page is torn.
Jimmy Ray
had just one son
And he named
him Bobby Ray
You ought'a
see him clap his hands !
Each week
on Sunday day.
" Jesus, Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus
Sweetest
Name I Know ! "
His little
feet were tapping
Just as fast
as they could go.
Bobby loved
to sing those songs
That his
grandpa used to sing
He carries
that New Testament
Oh the Joy
that Jesus brings !
He gave it
to his little boy
And he named
him Billy Ray
You ought'a
see him clap his hands !
Each week on
Sunday Day........
