A Song from Tanzania

Erin mentioned in one of her comments here yesterday a song that one of the Tanzanian counselors brought to Fortune Lake Lutheran Camp. I thought I'd share the words to the song here this morning, because it's been in my head all day! It's a really simple, high-energy song.

"Our God is not Dead"

Leader: Our God is not dead!
(echo) He is alive
Leader: Our God is not dead!
(echo) He is alive

Leader: Our God is not dead!
(echo) He is alive
Leader: Our God is not dead!
(echo) He is alive

Leader: Oh, I feel it in my feet... (the leader dances, pointing to each part)
(echo) Oh yes! (the echo repeats the dance)
Leader: I feel it in my toes...
(echo) Oh yes!
Leader: I feel it in my legs...
(echo) Oh yes!
Leader: I feel it in my knees...
(echo) oh yes

Leader: Our God is not dead!
(echo) He is alive
Leader: Our God is not dead!
(echo) He is alive
(Repeat chorus twice each time)

The verses go through the whole body, and can have a LOT of body parts involved, depending on how energetic the leader is. I'm hoping to get the tune to the song up here at some point, but for now, just let the words remind you that our God is not dead! And that's the point.
