Song for Pilots

Spring 2016
Tune: Theodoric (R and S 274)

2. Children saved ship half pennies to buy the ‘John Williams’ missionary ships; not just one but seven

3. Pilot badge – round for the world, sea us rough, boat if for ‘John Williams’ but also for Jesus’ disciples who were fishermen who had a boat and all the stories that link Jesus to boats; fish symbol is an old symbol for Christians, mast is a cross, central to our faith, keeps us stable.

4. This a lego version of the Pilot badge from Yorkshire Synod Office.

5. Song for PILOTS – tune Theodoric (R and S 274)
Verse 1
On the sea was a boat,
‘John Williams’ was a float
Children gave money saved
Not one ship but seven
World so round, round, round
Sea so rough, rough, rough.
P-I-L-O-T-S
We are here to praise God

6. Verse 2
On our badge is the sea
Sea can calm or rough be
Crashing waves, Jesus saves
Those who trust and love him,
Those who trust and love him
Badge so round, round, round
Sea so rough, rough, rough.
P-I-L-O-T-S
We are here to love God

7. Verse 3
On the sea in a boat,
Jesus’ friends all afloat.
Some asleep, some in deep
Learning how to serve God
Badge so round, round, round
Sea so rough, rough, rough.
P-I-L-O-T-S
We are here to serve God

8. Verse 4
In the boat is a cross
Like a mast, but a cross
Keeps us stable, we are able
All to follow Jesus
Badge so round, round, round
Sea so rough, rough, rough.
P-I-L-O-T-S
We are here to love God

9. Verse 5
In the world where we live
We are still called to give
80 years, give our cheers
We have come to praise God
World so round, round, round
Sea so rough, rough, rough.
P-I-L-O-T-S
We are here to praise God
