Below are the songs and poems the 3 year olds will need to know for our program. Please help your child learn them. Let me know if you have any questions.

3 year old Poem: Candy Canes were first made white, ‘Cause the baby born that night Was the pure and holy One, Spotless Lamb, God’s only Son.

3 year old Children Sing: Who is ? (tune of Are You Sleeping) Who is Jesus? Who is Jesus? (hold hands out and up like asking question) He’s God’s Son. He’s God’s Son. (point up to God) Born to be our Savior. Born to be our Savior. (make cross with fingers) Pure and Holy One. Pure and Holy One. (hold up 1 finger)

3 & 4 year old Poem: Stripes on candy canes are red, Like the blood that Jesus shed. One big stripe reminds us all Of the wooden cross so tall.

3 & 4 year old Children Sing: Someone Special – verse 2 only Someone Special, that You are, (point to God) To create the Christmas Star, (twinkling fingers) Heralding the Savior’s birth (baby arms) Bringing peace and joy to earth (point to smiling face) Someone special I must be (point to self) Since You made that Star for me! (point to God, star hands down, point to self)

3 & 4 year olds Sing: – verse 1 only Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King: Let every heart prepare Him room And heav’n and nature sing, And heav’n and nature sing, And heav’n, and heav’n and nature sing.
