To start out I will have a short discussion with the kiddo's that goes something like this. What is the greatest treasure that you have? When you pass away what will happen to that treasure? Can it go with you? Today we are going to learn a song that represents one of HF greatest TREASURES you can ever have and when you pass away this TREASURE can go with you. You can change lives using this treasure!!! Does anyone know what it might be?
We will then begin our TREASURE HUNT finding the pics and words for the song in little treasure boxes:
Treasure Box #1 will include these pics and words:
A Long Time Ago
in a Beautiful place
Children were gathered "round Jesus
Treasure box #2:
He Blessed and taught as they felt of his love
Each saw the tears on his face
Treasure Box #3:
The love that he felt for his little ones
I know he feels for me
Treasure Box #4:
I did not touch him or sit on his knee,
Yet, Jesus is real to me
The last treasure box will include the Chorus and reveal to the children that the TREASURE we are singing about is our TESTIMONY. I will also be including Chocolate coins in the final treasure box to help them remember that their testimony is a TREASURE that will bring them eternal Happiness (I don't know about you, but chocolate makes me Happy!!) and that when we sing this song for the program, we are sharing our TESTIMONY, that Jesus lives and Loves us! We can touch the hearts of others with our testimony and help them to receive this TREASURE for themselves.
Final Treasure box #5 will be bigger and include: Chorus and pics as follows:
I KNOW HE LIVES
I WILL FOLLOW FAITHFULLY
MY HEART I GIVE TO HIM
I KNOW THAT MY SAVIOR LOVES ME!!
"MY TESTIMONY IS MY SOUL'S TREASURE" ELDER ROBERT C. GAY
What a beautiful song. I hope I can help the children feel their TESTIMONIES grow as they sing this beautiful hymn. Thanks for taking a peek. Happy Singing Everyone!!
