Way in the middle of the air
Your foot might slip and your soul be lost
Way in the middle of the air.

Prophets Speak for God
Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
By Amanda Wilson
Prophets, prophets,
Speak God’s word,
Tell the people.
What they’ve heard.
“Obey God and do what’s right,
Serve him now with all your might,”
Prophets, prophets,
Speak God’s word,
Tell the people.
What they’ve heard.
