NEHEMIAH WAS A BULLFROG

Not What You Think!

We know Nehemiah wasn’t the bullfrog, Jeremiah was! But maybe, just maybe Nehemiah really was a bullfrog in his own right. He took some big leaps when it came to restoring the broken walls of Jerusalem. Join the multitudes that stood in the presence of God for one of the most notable worship services recorded in the Word of God. Sing along to the tune of “Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog” by as recorded by Three Dog Night:

Nehemiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of God
He journeyed all the way into Jerusalem
Cuz his plans were to build the walls
Yes, he made the plans and built up the walls

Singin'...

Joy to the world
Brick by brick rebuild
Joy to the King of kings and Lord of lords
His joy will be our strength

Standing on a platform above them
Picking up the book to read
The words he read brought tears into the eyes of them
Who stood to hear the law
Yes, the people stood to hear the law

Singin’…

Joy to the world
All then cried, “Amen!”
Praise to the King of kings and Lord of lords
His joy has been our strength

You know God loves His people
He leads us to do His will
And when His people hear His Word and will obey
All heaven joins in song
Yes, all heaven stands and joins in song

Singin’…

Joy to the world
Men obeyed His Word
Praise to the King of kings and Lord of lords
God’s people blessed the Lord

Nehemiah was a bullfrog
His voice can still be heard
“We will not neglect the house of our great God
Who gave us victory
Yes, the Lord gave us the victory”

Singin’…

Joy to the world
Worshipping the Lord
Praise to the King of kings and Lord of lords
Our hearts in one accord

The people bowed to worship the Lord

Yeah, the people bowed to worship the Lord

“Ezra opened the book. All the people could see him because he was standing above them; and as he opened it, the people all stood up. Ezra praised the LORD, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded, "Amen! Amen!" Then they bowed down and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.” (Nehemiah 8:5-6 NIV)
