Verse 1 In a circle we gather, with a song and with a smile, Little hearts are like gardens, they will blossom in a while, So we water them with kindness, we protect them with our care, And we lift them up with stories, and the Words we love to share. Chorus Teach with love, teach with light, Make the day feel warm and bright, One good word, one good deed, Plant the truth like tiny seed, Teach with love, teach with light, Help each child to shine in right. Verse 2 We are not just passing moments, we are building what will last, With patience and with courage, and a joy that travels fast, Every child is full of promise, every soul is meant to rise, So we teach them to be truthful, and to see with shining eyes. Chorus Teach with love, teach with light, Make the day feel warm and bright, One good word, one good deed, Plant the truth like tiny seed, Teach with love, teach with light, Help each child to shine in right. Bridge Little hands can serve today, Little feet can choose the way, With a prayer, with a song, We help them to be strong. Final Chorus Teach with love, teach with light, Make the day feel warm and bright, One good word, one good deed, Plant the truth like tiny seed, Teach with love, teach with light, Help each child to shine in right. [Children’s song, “Good Words, Good Deeds”] [Very short, perfect for actions] Good words, good deeds, A loving heart is what I need, I will share, I will be kind, I will keep the Light in mind. [Actions: point to mouth, hands helping, hands to heart, finger to head.] [Junior youth chant, “We Build”] [Clap pattern friendly] We build, we build, with love and truth, We build the world with rising youth, Teach the children, serve the street, Heart to heart, and step to feet.
