Doug has a national and international ministry working with children and song writing. In 1996 his song ""We Want To See Jesus Lifted High"" was chosen as the theme for the global March for Jesus event and was sung in 176 countries by some 25 million people. Doug has also worked with singer / song writer Noel Richards for over ten years and as well as playing lead guitar for him he has also co-written a number of songs with him that have featured on Noel's albums.
Doug has a vision to see Jesus lighting a flame in the hearts of children that will spread like wildfire. Doug's heart is to present the gospel in fun, lively ways and to challenge children to build their friendship with God and to realise how important they are to him. He uses action songs, puppets, tricks, juggling and all manner of other exciting visual methods to catch the children's imagination.
With his team he travels the UK widely putting on family praise parties, seminars and ""adult"" celebrations as well as running the 8-11's work at conferences including Spring Harvest which this year attracted up to 875 children per day!
He also runs his own annual "Duggies Summer Weeks" which this year was attended by over 1000 mainly unchurched children and young people aged 5-14 during two weeks in August. Doug strives for quality in all that he does and the summer weeks programme included Go karting, Lazer quest, wildlife encounters, the infamous ""gunge tank"", quad bikes, numerous bouncy activities and stacks more.
Doug wants children to thoroughly enjoy themselves at his events - but also to meet with God in powerful ways, and be equipped to be used by God to see amazing things happen.
Doug has also recorded several albums for "Kingsway Music" which feature fun action songs, anointed adult worship tracks and high energy dance tracks.
Lovely Jubbly
Doug Horley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He gave the mouse its squeak, sharks their teeth
He made legs that jump, gave camels the hump
He made the kangaroo and humans too
He even gave us lips so good for kissin' (mwah!)
He made fish that fly, eyes that cry
He made birds that poo upon your shoe
He even gave the cat its furry bottom
And it's lovely jubbly, all of God's creation
Lovely jubbly, all of God's creation
Lovely jubbly, all of God's creation
What a wonderful God we have
Lovely jubbly, all of God's creation
Lovely jubbly, all of God's creation
Lovely jubbly, all of God's creation
He made it all, He made it all, He made it all
He made dogs that point, pigs that oink
He made dolphins smiles, crocodiles
He made a zillion things, fly with wings
He even gave us tongues so good for licking
He made things that scoot, things that hoot
He made some things smell not so well
He made wind to blow, clouds to snow
He even made your knees that are so nobbly
And it's lovely jubbly, all of God's creation
Lovely jubbly, all of God's creation
Lovely jubbly, all of God's creation
What a wonderful God we have
Lovely jubbly, all of God's creation
Lovely jubbly, all of God's creation
Lovely jubbly, all of God's creation
He made it all, He made it all, He made it all
Ok, now it's over to you
Whatever creature I name, you make a noise for it
You ready? Here we go
One, two, three, four
He made pigs that oink, oink, oink
He made lions that roar, roar, roar
He made sheep that baa, baa, baa
He made cows that moo, moo, moo
He made frogs that ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ha-ha
He made skunks that, er, let me try this one
He made camels that, ehh? Ha!
He made snails that
Snails don't make a lot of noise unless you accidentally squish 'em under your toes
Eugh, please don't do that!
Lovely jubbly, all of God's creation
Lovely jubbly, all of God's creation
Lovely jubbly, all of God's creation
What a wonderful God we have
Lovely jubbly, all of God's creation
Lovely jubbly, all of God's creation
Lovely jubbly, all of God's creation
He made it all, He made it all, He made it all
He made it all, He made it all, He made it all
He made it all
Made it all
Made it all
Yeah!
