1. Thank You! (Modah/Modeh Ani)

Modah Modah Modah Ani

I’m as thankful

As I can be

Wake up each morning

First thing I say

Is thank you to G*D

For this day

Thank you for sun, Thank you for  rainbows,

Thank you for giggles, Thank you for teachers,

 

Thank you for music, Thank you for coloring books,

Thank you for teddy bears, Thank you for slip & slides

 

Modeh Modeh Modeh Ani

I’m as thankful

As I can be

Wake up each morning

First thing I say

Is thank you to G*D

For this day

Thank you for hugs, Thank you for families

Thank you for dogs and cats, Thank you for Mickey Mouse,

Thank you for PJs, Thank you for Facebook,

Thank you for Poptarts, Thank you for dancing

Modah Modah Modah Ani

I’m as thankful

As I can be

Wake up each morning

2. OMG! (Mah Tovu)

Oh My G*D

Your work is great

These tents, of Jacob’s

They are first rate

Oh My G*D,

Awesome is your space

Please bless me when I’m in this place

 

A mean King named Balak sent Balaam, his magician friend

To say mean things to Jewish people, he wanted us to end

With a Donkey as a helper, he didn’t do what the King said

When Balaam opened up his mouth, he made a blessing instead

 

Oh My G*D

Your work is great

These tents, of Jacob’s

They are first rate

Oh My G*D

Awesome is your space

Please bless me when I’m in this place

 

With G*D’s help the Jewish people have stayed alive and strong

We love G*D and G*D’s work, we praise G*D in this song

We remember this story, when we gather to pray

 

We sing a prayer in Hebrew, this is what we say

Ma tovu ohalekha Ya’akov, mishk’notekha Yisra’el.

 

Oh My G*D

Your work is great

These tents, of Jacob’s

They are first rate

Oh My G*D

Awesome is your space

Please bless me when I’m in this place

3. My Body (Asher Yatsar)

I’ve got nose to smell and a mouth to eat

I’ve got fingers to touch and a heart to beat

I’ve got ears to hear and eyes to See

I’m so glad that G*D made me

CHORUS:

Oh Thank You G*D for the parts of my body

That help and heal and move and grow

Oh Thank You G*D for the holes I have

To eat and breath and listen and Go

I’ve got lungs to breath and a belly to know

How to use the food I eat to help me grow

I’ve got a brain to learn and muscles so strong

And I’ve got a voice that lets me sing this song

CHORUS

I’ve got a tushie to sit and legs that run

I’ve got a smile to show when I’m having fun

I’ve got a hips to shake and feet to walk

I’ve got a tongue and lips so that I can talk

CHORUS

We were made in G*D’s image, so we are holy

I have a soul, so like G*D I’ll try to be

A creator and a helper everyday

And I am so grateful that I’ll always say

CHORUS

4. I Like God and God Likes Me (Ashrey)

Written with Max Jared Einsohn

 

I like G*D and G*D Likes me

We share a life so happily

We live together, Day by day,

When I’m with G*D I know its all OK

And that’s why we say

 

Ashrey Yoshevetecha

Od ya halelucha sela (whole section x2)

Good and Mighty, Just and true

That why I’m singing Halelu

 

I like G*D and G*D likes me

From my lips I praise daily

When I rise and when I lay, gratefully I always pray

And that why we say

Ashrey Yoshevetecha

Od ya halelucha sela

Good and Mighty, Just and true

That why I’m singing Halelu

 

I like G*D and G*D Likes me

Gives us opportunity

To pick the role we want to play as we fix the world without delay

And that why we say

Ashrey Yoshevetecha

Od ya halelucha sela

Good and Mighty, Just and true

That why I’m singing Halelu

Ashrey Yoshevetecha

Od ya halelucha sela

12. 100 Blessings

Chorus:
100 blessings
Every Day
In 24 hours
100 reasons to say
Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech HaOlam

We’ll say blessings upon waking, eyes open, getting dressed
Going to the bathroom, giving me my breath
We’ll say blessings saying thank you for giving us everything we need
Make 100 blessings each day, a blessed life you will lead

We’ll say blessings when we do Mitzvot God commands
For wisdom that God grants us to deal with life’s demands
We’ll say blessings learning Torah, the lessons make us strong
Say thanks to God for giving us the words that make this song

When we’ve said 99 blessings, it has been a blessed day
I’ll say the Sh’ma, its time for bed, gratefully I lay
We’ll make more blessings tomorrow, open my eyes and start again
And when you make a blessing I like then I’ll say “Amen!”
