Jesus B-I-N-G-O Children's Song

Last week I served as a counselor to developmentally disabled adults at White Memorial Camp in Council Grove, Kansas. The theme for the week was, "On the Way." Pictures of this special camp are available here.

"There was a farmer who had a dog and Bingo was his name-o."

You're familiar with this classic kids song.

Now, here's a new twist on BINGO that's fun to sing at Sunday School, camp, or anytime you're enjoying a light-hearted moment. I call it the "Jesus Song--BINGO Style." It was quite popular to sing at DDA camp. It goes like this:

There is a God who has a Son and Jesus is his name-o
J-E-S-U-S
J-E-S-U-S
J-E-S-U-S
And Jesus is his name-o

There is a God who has a Son and Jesus is his name-o
(clap)-E-S-U-S
(clap)-E-S-U-S
(clap)-E-S-U-S
And Jesus is his name-o.

You know how the rest of the song goes.

For guitar, the chord sequence goes like this:

G.............................C.....G
There is a God who has a Son and Jesus is his name-o

G....C
J-E-S-U-S

D....G
J-E-S-U-S

Em..C
J-E-S-U-S

C......D...............G
And Jesus is his name-O

Have fun!
