I Was Made To Praise (edited)


1. The rooster in the barn
To himself is true
At the break of dawn
Cock-a-doodle-doo!
A rooster’s made for crowing,
That’s how he is made,
A rooster’s made for crowing,
But I was made to praise.

So I’ll praise my Lord
I will lift up my voice
With my hands I’ll serve him
With my heart I’ll rejoice
I’ll proclaim his glory
That is why I was made
A rooster’s made for crowing
[A dog is made for barking]*
[A cow is made for mooing]*
But I was made to praise.

2. The dog is in the yard
barking at a cat
running round and round
sniffing this and that.
A dog is made for barking,
That’s how dogs are made
A rooster’s made for crowing,
A dog is made for barking,
But I was made to praise

3. The cow’s in the field
Chewing on the grass
Waiting to be milked
Mooing, mooing loud!
A cow is made for mooing
that’s how cows are made
A rooster’s made for crowing,
A dog is made for barking,
A cow is made for mooing
But I was made to praise.

  2. That sounds like a lot of fun. The kids could make animal noises. It flows very nicely - v1 line 2 my favourite gripe :), the rhyme is broken on line 2 and 4 of v3, apart from that, very disciplined!

    1. The cow, of course, chews on his cud which almost works.
