This anthem for children, which speaks to our unique and perfect creation,

is great with body movements.

The addition of an oboe and finger cymbals enhance an Eastern musical style.

I am a camel, an animal of special design

With talents and blessing especially mine.

I may not fly in the air. I don’t swim in the sea.

But when God made this, (pointing to hump) I became uniquely. . .me!

God gave me a tongue that can reach my ear.

Big strong feet that brought me here.

God gave me a tail that can swat at flies

And a hump full of water when it’s hot and dry.

God gave me eye lashes to keep out the sand,

And a camel hair coat, best in the land!

God gave me this nose and these lovely lips,

That can chew a cud and give a camel kiss.

I am a camel, an animal of special design

With talents and blessing especially mine.

I may not fly in the air. I don’t swim in the sea.

But when God made this, (pointing to hump) I became uniquely. . .me!

This is too important to ever forget.

God made you special. You’re completely perfect!

Don’t compare yourself to others at the zoo,

Cause when God put you together, you became UNIQUELY. . .YOU!

I am a camel, an animal of special design

With talents and blessing especially mine.

I may not fly in the air. I don’t swim in the sea.

But when God made this, (pointing to hump) I became uniquely. . .me!
