43 BOOKWORM: (interrupting) But Faith, if you can trust God with your forever, maybe you can trust Him with what's right through those trees. SCRAMBLES: Wow. I'm just a little chicken, with little faith, but if that's true … BOOKWORM: And yes, it is true, because unlike some of the other things I've read, this comes straight from God's Word. SCRAMBLES: Well then, that means that God loves you, Faith, and because you have trusted in Jesus to pay the penalty for your sin, and because He will never leave you or forsake you, and nothing takes Him by surprise … FAITH: (jumping in) Then I don't need to be afraid. SCRAMBLES: I'm afraid … you're right! NUGGET: It sounds to me like the "unknown" is no longer unknown! BUTTERCUP: Well, then let's quit worryin' about that forest, do a little chicken dance, and head on home! SCRAMBLES: (frightened) Do you hear something? BUTTERCUP: (listening) I think I do … kind of like "cheep, cheep, cheep!" NUGGET: I hear it, too. (Baby chicks, pre-schoolers, enter holding hands, "cheep-ing.") BUTTERCUP: I speak baby-chick! I'll translate! They say they're out on a picnic. The … farm … is … this … way! Follow them! SCRAMBLES: Are we sure we can trust them? With baby chicks, talk is cheep. (The baby chicks all wave for the group to follow them.) FAITH: What an amazing group of companions! BUTTERCUP: Aw, shucks, nobody here but us chickens … (Bookworm and Benedict lean in and glower, if they can) uh, and a few others. FAITH: (music begins to "No, Nothing") All I know is that I felt like the sky was falling, with fear and worry, but I needed to remember that nothing … no, nothing … can separate me from the love of Jesus! SONG: "NO, NOTHING" (The group enters the Forest of the Unknown, arm in arm, as they exit the stage.) For Preview Only
