Today, we sang the same songs as the last time I subbed.
A Child's Prayer, song 12 (Gebed van een kind, Dutch 6)
When I Am Baptized, song 103 (Als ik gedoopt ben, Dutch 53)
A Child's Prayer is one of my favorite Primary songs. It's one that is forever written in my mind. When I feel overwhelmed, I often sing this song. It really is a prayer, a pleading at times.
We practiced When I Am Baptized in particular, to prepare for the upcoming baptism of one of the girls. All the children will sing this song at her baptism in a couple of weeks. This time I came up with a few different pictures to remind them of the words. They were not needed at all. These kids know this song. But it was still fun.
Since we are covering the maternity leave of the regular music director, I may sub a few more times. I'll be sure to post, since the next songs will be different. My creativity is stifled a bit because it takes all my energy to think about this in Dutch. I'm grateful the children are forgiving and love more unconditionally than I do.
