The song: Listen to the voice of God
Listen, listen, hear God’s voice.
It wants your good, it makes your heart rejoice.
When I hide, when I do wrong, God keeps calling all along.
Where are you?
Here I am!
The children sing it at the end of the episode, at 7:33.
Let’s talk about it
- What is the one rule God gives Adam and Eve in the garden?
- What do Adam and Eve do when they hear God, after eating the fruit?
- Have you ever hidden after doing something wrong? What helped you come back?
- God calls, “Where are you?” Why do you think he goes looking for Adam and Eve?
To remember: Even when I hide, God comes looking for me.
To do: Play hide-and-seek. The seeker calls “Where are you?” and whoever is found answers “Here I am!”
