The Legend of the Sand Dollar Song
The Legend of the Sand Dollar Song
There's a lovely little legend
That I would like to tell
Of the birth and death of Jesus
Found in this lowly shell.
If you examine closely,
You'll see that you'll find here
Four nail holes and a fifth one
Made by a Roman's spear.
On one side the Easter lily,
Its center is the star
That appeared unto the shepherds
And led them from afar.
The Christmas poinsettia,
Etched on the other side
Reminds us of His birthday,
Our happy Christmastide.
Now break the center open,
And here you will release
The five white doves awaiting
To spread Good will and peace.
This simple little symbol,
Christ left for you and me
To help us spread His Gospel
Through all eternity.

Chorus: Sand Dollar Choir Theme Song
Sand Dollar, Sand Dollar Help Me Tell The Story, Sand Dollar Sand Dollar Help Me Tell The Story...How He Lived, How He Loved, How He Died, and Rose Again.
Over Twentyfive Years Ago....I wrote a chorus to this poem. I posted it to my blog. It is no longer there. Somehow it is not on my blog any longer. I'm trying not to say someone removed it. I came up with the name Sand Dollars for our children's choir. Our Church had a sea theme. They still do as far as I know. The last I heard the choir is still called the Sand Dollars, though we are no longer there. It's a good easter song to sing.
I chose to use this song because this poem was no longer used or read for some reason and had no owner.
I can still sing this song with no trouble at all.
