Nothing is ordinary any more

We are planning a little christmas pageant for the kids at church. We'll have some older kids helping out with the bigger parts, but we want to make it so there's a part for everyone - especially the 3 year old play groupers. We've chosen to shape the pagaent around the theme of ordinary to extraordinary. ie. Mary was home doing ordinary things when something extraordinary happened....

We'll use a lot of normal play schoolish songs (This is the way we hang the washing, Ba ba black sheep etc) and a carol, but I want to have one on-theme original song. This is what I'm working on. It could be sung by Mary, a chief shepherd and a chorus.

Thoughts?

Nothing Is Ordinary Anymore

1. It’s just an ordinary day

And I am an ordinary girl.

I wake up, I find clothes to wear

in my ordinary world.

It’s just an ordinary day

And I am an ordinary girl.

I get dressed and I brush my hair

There’s nothing special in the air,

Just living in my ordinary world

PRE-CHORUS:

But what if the extraordinary

Bursts into the ordinary?

What if skies explode and sing with joy?

What if dreams from ages past

All come true, and God, at last,

Enters our world, is born, a baby boy?

CHORUS:

Jesus has come

Haven’t you heard?

This is no ordinary world

For Jesus lived here

He made this earth his home.

Jesus has come

Haven’t you heard?

This is no ordinary world

And nothing here is ordinary

Any more.

2. I’m just an ordinary boy

And this is an ordinary day.

I watch the sheep roam through the fields

in an ordinary way.

I’m just an ordinary boy

And this is an ordinary day.

I feel the wind blow through my hair

There’s nothing special in the air,

Just living in my ordinary way.
