You are clothed with honor and majesty.

You are clothed with beautiful light!

Make a COSMIC CURTAIN for this song!

Don’t Fret!

based on Philippians 4:4-7

Friendly Philemon Frog doesn’t fret.

He prays & rejoices & then he gets

The peace of God that passes all understanding

The peace of God that passes all understanding

Chorus:

Don’t fret!  Just get praying!

Don’t fret!  Just get singing:

Hallelu- Hallelu- Hallelujah!

Hallelu- Hallelu- Hallelujah!

Praise the Lord!  Praise the Lord!

Since I’m God’s child I will not fret.

I’ll pray & rejoice & then I’ll get

The peace of God that passes all understanding

The peace of God that passes all understanding

Friendly Philemon Frog

Friendly Philemon Frog, he’s one fantastic neighbor

Friendly Philemon Frog, he’ll jump to do a favor

He’s a friend indeed to his friends in need.

He’s a friend that’s true when the sky’s not blue

‘Cause Philemon Frog keeps the Golden Rule:

“Treat other people as you’d like them to treat you!”

Yes, Philemon Frog keeps the Golden Rule.

Yes, Philemon Frog keeps the Golden Rule.

Friendly Philemon Frog, he’s one fantastic buddy

Friendly Philemon Frog, he’s kind to everybody

He’s a friend indeed to his friends in need.

He’s a friend that’s true when the sky’s not blue

‘Cause Philemon Frog keeps the Golden Rule

“Treat other people as you’d like them to treat you!”

Yes, Philemon Frog keeps the Golden Rule

Yes, Philemon Frog keeps the Golden Rule

Be friendly, loving & kind, and don’t forget to share

Be friendly, loving & kind. Show someone you care.

Be a friend indeed to your friends in need.

Be a friend that’s true when the sky’s not blue

Be children who love to keep the Golden Rule

“Treat other people as you’d like them to treat you!”

Be children who love to keep the Golden Rule

Be children who love to keep the Golden Rule

Suggested Movements

Children may make a fist and pretend that is their “frog” and jump it to the beat from one side of their lap to the other. Children are seated for this song as they watch the “frog” puppet. After the phrase “‘Cause Philemon Frog keeps the golden rule….” there is a short pause where you may say “which is” and motion the children to sing: “Treat other people as you’d like them to treat you!” They should learn that phrase in an explanation of the Golden Rule prior to singing the song.

Suggested Props:

Golden Ruler, Friendly Philemon Frog Puppet

Furry Lisa

Furry Lisa Lamb wand’ring alone, where will you go?  How will you know?

Which is the pathway back to pastures green,

Your Shepherd calls, “Come back to Me!

My Furry Lisa, little lamb, lost in the land, come back to me. Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

My Furry Lisa Lamb, My Furry Lisa Lamb….

GOOD TO ME!

Chorus:

//Good to me, my God’s good to me!

Makes me slap-happy to be alive!//

Verses:

In the morning when I rise

Wipe the sleep out from my eyes

Then I leap upon my feet and sing His praise

Sky of blue or sky of gray

He’s given me breathe for a brand new day

///So I leap upon my feet///  and sing His praise.

So all throughout the day

No matter what comes my way

To others that I meet I”ll speak His praise.

Then when I go to bed

I will humbly bow my head

///Before I go to sleep///  I’ll sing His praise.
