Thank God..
I have two little eyes to look to God
I have two little ears to hear His word;

And one little heart to love Him still

These are all great. I teach a preschool class and recently had them memorize
1 Corinthians 13:4-8. We made up a little song to it. They loved it. Especially when we sang the song. They caught on very quickly and got excited every time we said it was time to do a memory verse. I’m looking for a new one for them to memorize now. Any suggestions?
There are several great suggestions in this comment thread.

Poem
He Made the Stars to Shine
He made the stars to shine;
He made the rolling sea.
He made the mountains high
and He made me.
But this is why I love Him:
For me He bled and died;
The Lord of all creation
Became the Crucufied.
Jesus, the Son of God,
From death has been set free;
and now on Heaven’s throne
He cares for me.
If you will trust the Savior,
Your life will be made new
And God the Holy Spirit
Will come to live in you.
JOY-Jesus Others You
Poem:
I Don’t Have to Wait
I don’t have to wait
until I’m grown-up
To be loving and true;
There are many little
deeds of kindness
That each day I can do.
I can read my Bible and pray,
Be a loving helper alway;
I don’t have to wait
until I’m grown-up
To be what Jesus
wants me to be.
If I’m old enough
to love my parents,
I can know Jesus’ love;
I can learn to trust Him
and obey Him,
For He watches above.

A nation of
the free;

The land of our liberty.
