The answer to your question is "Psalty's sleepytime helpers". There are a bunch of volumes, but one of them have the "be kind one to another" song on it!

Maybe one of these will look familiar many of the childrens 80's groups are shown. though I don't see the Rap-Sures, Prism (the Christian childrens group), Stephen Wiley and there are probably many more. https://www.google.com/search?q=Antshillvania&rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS571US571&oq=Antshillvania&aqs=chrome..69i57&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8

I listened to a lot of this type of music as a kid. These kids musical albums, featuring kids singing the songs and some sort of story that runs in between the songs, were very popular in the 80s. Churches and Christian schools often performed these as stage productions with kids.

Some of the more notable producers of these Christian kids musicals include:

  • Agapeland, which you mentioned, was a big publisher of this format, featuring "Music Machine," "Bullfrogs and Butterflies," "Nathaniel the Grublet," and others.

  • Dottie Rambo's "Down By the Creek Bank" was extremely popular.

  • Jimmy and Carol Owens wrote several musicals, most notably "Ants'hillvania."

  • Debbie Kerner and Ernie Rettino created Psalty the Singing Songbook musicals, with titles "The Kids Praise Album!", "Kids Praise! 2," "Kids Praise! 3," etc.

  • Joyful Heart Music is the home of Colby the Computer (who also had a TV series) and Nannybird.

  • Kathie Hill is also a prolific producer of kids musicals, notably "Back at the Creekbank" (a sequel to "Down By the Creek Bank"), "Fish Tales," and many others.

I don't recognize the "forgiving" song you mentioned, but I am almost positive that the "I-Spy" song and the rainbow song you mentioned are from Kathie Hill's "Back at the Creekbank," the songs being "Riddle Me, Riddle Me" and "It's a Rainbow."
