Working on a Difficult Song

Sometimes in preparing for a program, we get lost in the "singing through the songs."  This week, determine which song is hard - hard to remember the words, hard to remember the melody, just plain hard, therefore it doesn't sound as good as all the rest of the songs.  Once at Primary, ask the children which one is "hard" for them.  Hopefully, it is the same one you have already determined.  Quickly tell them the story of Nephi and his brothers returning to get the plates from Laban.  Sing "Nephi's Courage."   Then explain that we have been asked to sing this hard song (which ever one you and the children have decided on).  With the Lord's help, we can do it just like Nephi did.  Sing the difficult song through.  Work on the words that are difficult to remember or go over the difficult part of the melody a few times.  Ask the children to remember to ask Heavenly Father to help them remember the words, etc. to this song and help them sing it well because "the Lord will prepare a way for them to remember and sing the song beautifully."
