Peter was a fisherman.
(Turn right, pretend to cast fishing line)
And he made a little wish
(Move hands up and across face, palms open)
to catch a lot of fish,
(Pretend to hold big basket, touch fingertips together)
But instead he ended up with an empty dish!
(Open hands at shoulders, shrug)
(With an empty dish!)
(Open hands at shoulders, shrug)
So Jesus said,
(Reach up)
“Peter, try the other side.”
(Turn left, pretend to cast fishing line)
So Jesus said,
(Reach up)
“Peter, try the other side.”
(Turn left, pretend to cast fishing line)
So he threw his net into the rolling sea,
(Roll hands outward)
And he said, “Look at all the fish
(Pretend to hold big basket, touch fingertips together)
that came to me!”
(Point to self with thumbs)
(“Fish that came to me!”)
(Point to self with thumbs)
Whistle along with music
Jesus said,
(Point to sky)
“Peter, you come follow Me.”
(Hands cup mouth)
Jesus said,
(Point to sky)
“Peter, you come follow Me.”
(Hands cup mouth)
And instead of catching fish,
(Cast fishing pole)
you’ll be catching men,
(Put an arm around friend on either side)
And in my Father’s house your life will never end!”
(Tent arms overhead, shake head no)
(“Your life will never end!”)
(Shake head no)
(“Your life will never end!”)
(Shake head no)
(“Your life will never end!”)
(Shake head no, then say “Phew!” and wipe brow)
Your life will never end!
(Raise arms up to a V, fingers open)

verse)
(Face left, sway and step side-to-side;
snap in time during verse)
Outside this Temple
Is the Beautiful Gate
Where a beggar man sat
And this was his fate.
He was a lame from birth,
Didn’t have much worth,
‘Til the day he was healed
In the name of Jesus.
Peter said, “I have no
Silver or gold,
But I’ll give you what I have
So come take a hold.”
Peter helped him rise.
To the man’s surprise,
He stood up and he walked,
In the name of Jesus.
Chorus:
In the name of Jesus,
(Step side-to-side, clap once at either
side of head, four times)
Repeat Chorus
He was leaping
(Push arms up to the left twice)
In the name of Jesus,
(Step side-to-side, clap once at either
side of head, four times)
I have strength to do
(Flex strong arms)
Good things
(Bring both hands to front, make
“thumbs up” with both)
In the name of Jesus.
(Step side-to-side, clap once at either
side of head, four times)
and singing
(Push arms up to the right twice)
His praises to God.
(Push arms up to the left and to the
right twice)
He was leaping
(Push arms up to the right twice)
and singing
(Push arms up to the left twice)
His praises to God.
(Push arms up to the left and to the
right twice)
The lame man who begged
(Face right, sway and step side-to-side;
snap in time to music)
At the beautiful gate
Ran into the Temple
Singing, “God is great!”
He was singing His praise,
In the name of the Lord.
Chorus:
In the name of Jesus,
(Step side-to-side while clapping four
times, each clap at a “corner” of a
square in front of body)

I have strength to do
(Flex strong arms)
Good things

The Trail of Life
by Gary Pailer
As we travel the trail of life,
(Step in time to music)
We’re never alone,
(Cross arms below waist twice)
Never out of Your sight.
(Cross palms in front of face, fingers open)
We know that You’ll see us through
(Scoop arms down sides, make hands parallel in front)
’Cause You always do.
(Point up with right hand open flat)
You hold our hand tight,
(Clasp hands in front of chest)
As we travel the trail of life.
(Step in time to music.)
Jump in place, step side-to-side or grapevine on other verses.
