DLTK's Bible Songs for Kids
The Countdown Song
(The Blast Off Song)
Sent in by Tracy. Also thanks to Ron and Amanda for the new verse and Beth for the last verse. Thanks! Thanks Jennifer for sharing the tune with us!
"Our Church kids call this "The Blast Off Song". This song also helps teach them a Bible verse. Children sing the song, then count down, say blast off, then immediately recite the verse and the reference...Tracy"
Somewhere in outer space
God has prepared a place
For those who trust Him and obey
Jesus will come again
And though we don't know when
The countdown's getting lower every day.
CHORUS:
10 and 9, 8 and 7, 6 and 5 and 4,
Call upon the Savior while you may,
3 and 2, coming through the clouds in bright array
The countdown's getting lower every day.

BLAST OFF!
Jesus was crucified, suffered and bled he died,
But on the cross He did not stay
He made this promise true,
I will come back for you,
The countdown's getting lower every day.
CHORUS
Soon will the trumpet sound, and we'll rise off the ground
With Christ forever will we be
Children where will you be, throughout eternity?
The countdown's getting lower everyday!
CHORUS
"And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also." John 14:3
