Tickle, tickle, tickle
God made your nose
God Made Your Fingers

REAPERS
Elisha had Elijah To train him in the way.
And Timothy had grand mama
And mother every day.
Now you my friend are one of these
With power in your hands.
You're training those who will some day
Spread news throughout the lands.
Enthusiasm is a part And not so very small
Of turning on the hearts of kids,
On Jesus they may call.
And then there is your attitude
You need to know God's Word
As every day you call to God,
"Your voice, Oh, Lord I heard."
Now enterprising teachers
Can do more than they know,
They take God's Word with this and that
And God's way they do show.
You're reapers, yes, you're reapers
The hearts of kids your field.
Trust in the Lord of harvest
And He will give the yield.
Your reapers, yes, you're reapers.
The hearts of kids your field.
Trust in the Lord of harvest
And He will give the yield.
(Karen Apple, 1991)
