My Favorite Camp Things
Dewdrops on gumboots and bowls of rice crispies
Woodsmoke on kettles and stews cooked in dixies
Sturdy wood gadgets all fashioned with string
These are a few of my favorite things
Green colored ridge tents put up in a hurry
Whistles and cow horns and goulash with curry
Wild ducks that fly with the sun on the wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in blue dresses with navy blue jackets
Can’t get to sleep for the noise and the racket
Bright golden mornings that make us all sing
These are a few of my favorite things
When the camp ends when the bus comes
We simply remember our favorite things ,
And we don’t feel so bad.

Amazing grace
Amazing Grace
1, Amazing grace.
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I’m found,
Was blind but now I see.
2 ‘Twas grace that Taught my heart to fear
And Grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
3 Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come.
‘T’is Grace hath bought me safe this far.
.And Grace will lead me home.
4 The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and protection be
As long as life endures
5 When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun.
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun.
The Australian Hymn Book
BRING BACK MY LEADER TO ME
Our leader said. ” Burn, bash and dump’
All rubbish and trash that you see!”
We did as he told us, exactly
-Oh. bring baek my leader to me!
CHORUS;
Bring back, oh. bring back.
Oh. bring back my leader to me. To me !
Bring back. Oh. bring back.
Oh, bring back my leader to me !
Our leader, she likes to make campfires.
For brewing up coffee and tea:
Now, kero looks almost like water
-Oh. bring back my leader to me!
The swimming-hole is so attractive,
Our leader dived in from a tree
The depth, as you know, is deceptive
-Oh, Bring back my leader to me!
Our camp-site has modem ablutions,
They don’t Fush very well as you see:
Our leader’s been in there a long time
-Oh. bring back my leader to me.!

I THANK YOU GOD
I thenk you God, for making me,for making me eyes that I may see.
All the beautiful things around,for making ears with which to hear,
All the wonderful world of sound.
And thank you for my nose as well,so many lovely things to smell.
Like homemade cakes, just freshly baked.
Or gumtree on the fire baked,.
I thank you for the gift of voice, to laugh and sing and to rejoice.
Lord, thank you for my body strong.
And for a heart to know and feel.For joys that fill me when I kneel.
And know that God did make me whole.
A body, heart and mind and soul.
Accept my praises God to Thee
For all these gifts that make me.
