Taught in class VI and once in Class VII
Written by Jibrael Jos

To be narrated in story telling style

Billy was a boy from Mexico 

He was afraid of ghosts you know

Once while walking on the street

He heard a weird scary beat

*Billy boy Billy boy 

Prayed once more*(chorus by children)

Then he noticed it was a 

Cat scratching the door

Billy boy Billy boy

Started to think

Was it God who helped

Him in a blink

One day Billy boy 

Got hurt in a match

Blood was flowing 

From the scratch

What do you think Billy boy did?

Did he cry , what do you think

*Billy boy Billy boy

Prayed once more* (chorus by children)

He looked at the blood

Yet he worried no more

Billy boy Billy boy

Took someone's help

And Doctor was surprised 

He didn't cry or yelp

Billy boy Billy boy 

Started to think

How does prayer change

The mind in a blink

One day Billy boy

Told a fat lie

He was caught by the teacher

And wanted to cry

What do you think Billy boy did?

Did he cover up, what do you think

*Billy boy Billy boy

Prayed once more*

Then he realised his folly

N decided to lie no more

Billy boy Billy boy 

Pondered about prayer

How does it work 

Right now right there

Jesus once prayed 

When his friend did die

Lazarus rose from the dead

Prayer power we cannot deny 

But

Jesus once prayed in Gethsemane 

Did he escape the cross

And avoid the agony

Jesus taught us how to pray

In the Our Father

We say almost every day 

*(Children say the Our Father)*
