Boop di Boop
Sometimes we will wake up feeling down,
And we won’t even want to be around.
But when the sky is grey,
And sun seems far away,
A song I know will help you through the day.
Boop di boop di boop,
Jesus loves you.
Boop di boop,
He loves me too.
Boop di boop di boop,
Jesus loves you.
Boop di boop,
He loves us two.
Sometimes we know life can let us down,
And everyone around us wears a frown.
But even if the world,
Every boy and girl,
Is mean to us there’s one who’s always kind.
Chorus
A little bit of the Bible,
Can help us on our way.
Psalm 68 verse 6 says,
“God will make a home for us.”
A little bit of the Bible,
Can help us on our way.
Psalm 68 verse 6 says,
“God will make a home for us,
A home in which we’ll always stay.”

CCLI Song # 7183586
The December 2020 theme for Resound Worship’s 12 Song Challenge was “Family Songs”. At the time, I was in training to become a foster carer and ideas of a typical family were far from my mind. I wanted a song that was accessible to the smallest family unit possible i.e. a single caregiver and child (hence the “us two” in the chorus). I also wanted a song that reflected the tough times that children in care go through.
As I built the song, I was taken back to the very first time that God ever spoke to me from the Bible. I was at boarding school, thousands of miles from my fractured family, bullied incessantly and very, very lonely. I flipped open the Bible and I could not get my eyes off one verse in Psalm 68. There, in verse 6, it said, “God sets the solitary in families,” and I knew that I had found my Father.
In case you’re wondering, I have no idea at all where “Boop di boop” came from!
