A Travel Song

Tomorrow morning at 7:15am, the girls and I take off for the US. (Please do pray for our trip!) This is our last day in Singapore, perhaps ever! Yesterday I was reading Philippians 4, (which I've found it very difficult to try to be quiet and reflective in the midst of major transition) and God 'gave' me this song for our trip. Thank you, Lord! Because one or a couple of us may tend towards anxiety or negative thoughts, these are the perfect lyrics--for 2 & 3 year olds (and 30+ year olds). Literally within 60 seconds, the tune was crystal clear and the words were down on paper. So I went to the girls room after rest time and taught it to them, and they added hand motions! Wish I could get them to sing it for you, but here are the words:

If there's anything of which you're afraid
Tell it to God, and tell it with thanks
And then you will find His peace is right there
To comfort your heart in Jesus

And rejoice, rejoice, for our Lord is near
Rejoice, rejoice, He'll keep your heart from fear

Whatever is true, whatever is right
Whatever is good, whatever is pure
If anything's great or worthy of praise
Tell your heart "Think on these things"!
