TWO FROGSWords: T. C. Hamlet, Peter Gehr, Michael Gilligan,Jeremy SpencerMusic: Peter GehrVerse 1Two frogs fell into a can of cream,Or so I heard it told.The sides of the can were shiny and steep,The cream was deep and cold.“Oh, what’s the use?” croaked number one.“We’re lost! No help’s around!Goodbye, my friend, this is the end!”And sinking in, he drowned.Verse 2But number two, who wasn’t through,Refused to compromise.He jutted out his creamy chinAnd dried his creamy eyes.“I’ll keep on swimmin’! Where there’s lifeThere’s always hope!” He said.“It really wouldn’t help the worldIf one more frog were dead!”Chorus 1Don’t give up when you’re sinkin’And feelin’ down!Don’t give up when you’re sinkin’,You don’t have to drown![Repeat Chorus 1]Verse 3For many an hour he kicked and splashed,At last he stopped to sputter,“Why, look at that! I can hop right out!I’ve whipped the cream to butter!”So if sometimes your problems make youFeel you want to scream,Remember how the froggy churnedThe butter out of cream!UNTIL THENComposed by Stuart HamblenVerse 1My heart can sing when I pause to rememberA heartache here is but a stepping stoneAlong a trail that’s winding always upward;This troubled world is not my final home!ChorusBut until then, my heart will go on singing.And until then, with joy I’ll carry on.Until the day my eyes behold the City,Until the day God calls me Home.Verse 2The things of Earth will dim and lose their valueWhen we recall they’re just borrowed for a while.And things of Earth that caused the heart totremble,Remembered There, will only bring a smile.[Repeat Chorus]Verse 3This weary world, with all its toil and struggle,May take its toll of misery and strife.The soul of man is like a waiting falcon,When it’s released, it’s destined for the skies.[Repeat Chorus]Until the day my eyes behold the City,Until the day God calls me Home.[Repeat Chorus 1]Chorus 2Don’t give up when you’re sinkin’And feelin’ down! (Don’t you give up!)Don’t give up when you’re sinkin’,You don’t have to drown,You don’t have to drown,You don’t have to drown!200 Set 4 - Song sheets: Inspiration
