Jesus Sent Us

This is a repeat after me song...

[start rhythmically slapping legs to a walking stride.  Resume the slapping stride with the refrain after doing the actions for each of the verses]

Jesus sent us off one day...

To preach, to heal, to share, to pray...

Jesus sent us every place...

To share God's mercy, love and grace...

 

Leave behind your money [mime taking out your wallet and setting it down]

Jesus sent us off one day...

To preach, to heal, to share, to pray...

Jesus sent us every place...

To share God's mercy, love and grace..

Leave behind your money [mime taking out your wallet and setting it down]

Leave behind your bags [mime taking off a backpack and setting it down]

Jesus sent us off one day...

To preach, to heal, to share, to pray...

Jesus sent us every place...

To share God's mercy, love and grace...

 

Leave behind your money...

Leave behind your bags...

Take off your sandals [mime taking off your shoes]

 

Jesus sent us off one day...

To preach, to heal, to share, to pray...

Jesus sent us every place...

To share God's mercy, love and grace...

 

Leave behind your money...

Leave behind your bags...

Take off your sandals...

[Shout] "Peace be with you!"

To share God's mercy, love and grace...

 

Leave behind your money...

Leave behind your bags...

Take off your sandals...

"Peace be with you!"

[Make a large welcoming come over gesture, ending with your hands on your hips] "Come and stay a while, eat your fill!"

Cure the sick, and preach Good News! [gesture as though lifting something from the ground up into the air, then extend arms to the group]
