Years ago I got new lyrics to the song, Follow The Prophet, for the holiday season. The kids always seem to sing this song with gusto and so I think it's pretty cute.
Verse 1: Jospeh asked the man if he would let them in
But his answer came: NO ROOM AT THE INN
They went to the stables where the cattle lay
The son of God was born in a manger full of hay.
Chorus: Jesus is born, Jesus is born, Jesus is born in Bethlehem
Jesus is born, Jesus is born, Jesus is born, the Savior of men.
Verse 2: Shepherds saw the star and they were 'sore afraid
They wanted to see just where the baby laid
Wise men rode their camels, followed that bright star
carried gifts for Jesus, brought from a far
Sing chorus again.
I always do lyrics on my news print pad as it's hard to teach songs that we only sing for a few weeks and then ditch. So I will provide the words for the kids to read (senior primary only). Part of a singing time would be writing a verse 3. Get the kids input. See if you can continue the story. You could do a verse about the herald angels. Write in primary using the chalk board or a posterboard. newsprint tablet....and then sing it.
This idea belongs to Mindy Smith...whomever she is, she is clever. THANK YOU!
