Singing French Scripture

Group Blessing: The Father's Blessing
(to the tune of "Sur le Pont d'Avignon" by Angela Leigh)

The group stands in a horseshoe shape. Each person receives a blessing by the group using the words said to Jesus at his baptism.

The first person steps up front and makes gesture that represents something about who they are. The song leader sings: "(insert name of person) fait comme ça...." at the same time.

Everyone in the group mimics him/her, while singing: "Et puis encore comme ca..."  

Then everyone claps and sings or chants the following:

"Voici mon fils / ma fille

Bien aimé, bien aimé

En qui... j'ai mis...

Tout mon affection."

Now the next person comes forward.

Bedtime: Psalm 4:8-9
(To the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle" by Angela Leigh)

Aussitôt coucher,
Je m'endors en paix.
Car Toi seul, Eternel,
Tu me fait habiter en securité.
Aussitôt coucher,
Je m'endors en paix.

Action Praise: Savez-Vous Louer Jésus?
(To the tune of "Savez-Vous Planter les Choux?" by Angela Leigh)

1. Savez-vous taper les mains? (clap hands)
    Alleluia, alleluia
    Savez-vous taper les mains
    à la mode des saints aux cieux?

2. Savez-vous lever les bras? (wave arms and repeat the following 3 lines of the song.)

3. Savez-vous bondir en joie? (jump around)

4. Savez-vous vous prosterner? (kneel down with face to the floor - If you sing this verse slower, it's a       good way to calm everybody back down!)
