Songs
🎵 Help Me Be a Friend Song
Even our littlest friends can learn what it means to be kind! “Help Me Be a Friend” is a simple, singable song — easy enough for preschoolers to catch on to right away, with a big message: loving, giving, sharing, and praying for the people around us, because God is the best friend of all.
Lyrics
Help me love others. Help me give to others. Help me serve my brothers. Help me be a friend.
Help me pray for others. Help me share with others. Help me stand up for my brothers. Help me be a friend.
Help me be a friend who loves. Help me be a friend who gives. Help me be a friend to the very end. Help me be a friend who prays. Help me be a friend who stays. Help me be a friend to the very end.
Now find a friend and say, “Hello!” Then give a high five up high then low. Now clap for God, ’cause He’s your friend. He’ll stick by you through thick and thin!

God wants even our youngest friends to learn how to love others. Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends” (John 15:13, NKJV) — a big truth, but one even a preschooler can begin to understand.

Just like Carmen loves naming her special amigos, it’s important for little ones to think about their own friends too — and to thank God for each one. “I thank my God every time I remember you” (Philippians 1:3, NKJV).

Even our youngest friends can learn to be kind, just like Jesus was kind to everyone He met. “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32, NKJV).
