Israel in the Wilderness (Sung to the tune of Don't worry Be Happy)   Here's a little song for you To keep in mind, when 'you get blue Don't worry Be happy The Israelites they had no fun Wandering in the desert sun Don't worry Be happy CHORUS: OOOOOO Spoken: "Don't worry" OOOOOO Spoken: "Be happy" OOOOOO Spoken: "Don't worry, be happy" They cried to Moses dead on their feet "We got no water or food to eat!" Don't worry ... Be happy They felt so lost and so unloved So God sent manna from above Don't worry ... Be happy CHORUS "We're tired of manna," the Israelites wailed So the Lord he sent them quail Don't worry ... Be happy The sour water it turned sweet Now they could drink and they could eat Don't worry ... Be happy CHORUS In these days of war and trouble If you worry you make it double Don't worry ... Be happy Remember God protects our nation He is our rock and our salvation Don't worry ... Be happy CHORUS Ending: Repeat chorus and fade out while speaking: Don't' worry. Don't do it. Be happy. Trust the Lord. Have faith in him. Remember, He is always with you. Whatever it is, it will soon pass. Don't worry. God wants us to be happy. We're not worried. WE'RE HAPPY!!!!
