[HANASHIR:16037] RE: Songs to Teach Prophets

[Cantor Wally Schachet-Bri <WSB...>]

The Prophets Song
Words by Cantor William Sharlin, Rabbi Wolli Kaelter
Music by Irving Berlin ("You Can't Get A Man With A Gun" from "Annie Get
Your Gun")

Someday you are liable
To open up the Bible
And you'll be quite amazed to see
That out from the pages
Come prophets of the ages
Telling all about our people's history

The Five Books of Moses
With clarity discloses
Many laws that are good and true
Doing justice for others
And loving men as brothers*
This is what the Lord requires of you.

Jeremiah, Obadiah,
Zechariah, Micah, Jonah, Amos, too!

Someday you'll wake from slumber
And find a goodly number
Of these prophets, so bold and wise
If you stop, look, and listen,
You'll know what you've been missin'...
You and I, if we try, by and by, we'll know why
They were truly such wonderful guys.

Chaverim:

A friend of mine is looking for good songs to use for teaching about the
various prophets, and prophetical texts and verses. I've got a good
start
putting together a nice compilation for her but  would welcome any
suggestions from all of you. I'll share the final list with this list
and on
the web site.

B'vracha,

Adrian
