Song: I Will Build You Up

This is a song to help children learn to build others up and resolve differences in a loving way.

Lyrics:
As I build up another,
I'm also building me,
because we're all a part
of a great big family tree.

If I tear someone down,
I tear part of me down too.
I want to be a builder in all I say and do.

Chorus:
I will build, build, build, build you up.
It will lift, lift, lift, lift us up,
Because what I do to you
becomes part of my life too.
As I build you up, I'm also building me.

If I am feeling hurt,
or afraid, or really mad,
there are things that I can do
that will help things feel less bad.
I'll stop and think and breathe.
I'll ask God to help me see,
When I show love to you,
I am showing love to me.

[Chorus]

God sent me here to see,
He has love for big and small.
His love for you and me
is no different at all.
I'll try to see the good,
and the good will grow in me.
When I remember love for you,
a builder's what I'll be.

[Chorus]
