If you feel lonely and you week is bad
Come to OIC and be happy and glad
For fellowship, friendship and food
Jesus is our inspiration and He is so good!
Oh I see,
It’s OIC
Skiing is good for your body
Singing is good for the soul
Cellgroup is good for you week
Jesus is who we love and seek
Oh I see,
It’s OIC
We are part of an international family
Many social events, talks and hospitality
We are also blessed with many babies this year
Learning to love Jesus without any fear
Oh I see,
It’s OIC
To have Carolina and Maicon is great
They encourage us to grow in prayer and faith
To be part of this family makes us smile
And we are challenged to walk the second mile

 

Oh I see
It’s OIC
