“I HOPE THEY CALL ME ON A MISSION”

Lyrics

  1. I hope they call me on a mission

    When I have grown a foot or two.

    I hope by then I will be ready

    To teach and preach and work as missionaries do.

  2. I hope that I can share the gospel

    With those who want to know the truth.

    I want to be a missionary

    And serve and help the Lord while I am in my youth.

TO MAKE AND USE: Mount cue cards on the back of each poster that matches with the song verse.
