This is a song from a DVD Red Willow Church sent us (thanks again guys!) when we were living in Guatemala. It's called "Boz the Bear" and is from the creators of Barney BUT way less grating on the nerves :) It's also Christian, so the shows have nice little lessons about sharing and such. Why I'm blogging about this song is that I LOVE it's message. Forget teaching kids "Oh be careful little eyes what you see" and all those guilt/fear songs that are out there. I want my kids to know God thinks they are incredible, that He is delighted by them. I know I could have benefited from being told as a child that God is pleased by ME, and not just that I need to try and please God. So my kids are going to grow up believing that they are priceless in God's eyes, and that makes me infinitely happy. I actually wrote the words from the songs title in my friend Melaney's birthday card - because I think it's a beautiful thing to hear and internalize as an adult too. (P.S. Happy Birthday on Friday Mellykins!)
And so for your reading enjoyment, here are the lyrics to the song:
“God Sees You And He Likes What He Sees”
- By Angelo Natalie (Giggling Bear Music)
God sees you…and He likes what He sees
God sees you…and you’re special as can be
So look straight up to Heaven, shout:
“Thanks for making me!”
God sees you…and He likes what He sees
God made you….and you’re one of a kind
God made you…you’re always on His mind.
So smile up to Heaven, shout:
“Thanks for making me!”
God made you…and you’re one of a kind
So look straight up to Heaven, shout:
“Thanks for making me!”
God sees you…and He likes what He sees
