Fickle Feelings

Been really enjoying studying EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient).
We all know that feelings are fickle and we are not to live by feeling but by faith.
Teaching little children not to live by feelings is a challenge.
Dr. Nedley sings this little song that I thought was worth learning.
It's to the tune of Yankee Doodle, but looking it up online I found that it is a paraphrase of a quote from Martin Luther. 

So, today if your child says to you,
"but I don't feel like it!!" 
You can sing this little song
then give them the Word in the form of a
scripture verse applicable to their situation.

Feelings come and feelings go,
And feelings are deceiving;
Trust alone on the Word of God--
It's something worth believing.
Cause feelings come and feelings go,
And feelings are deceiving;
Trust alone on the word of God--
It's something worth believing.
