CHORUS

Oh, it’s so nice to be with you
I love all the things ya say and do
And it’s so nice to hear you say
You’re gonna please me in every way
Honey, I got the notion
You’re causin’ commotion in my soul

Baby, you and me have got somethin’ that’s real
I know it’s gonna last a lifetime
Aww, ya better believe it, girl
At night I call your name
Darkness fills my room, I’m only dreamin’
About the time I’m gonna be with you

CHORUS

When I’m feelin’ down
You’re there to pick me up and help me to carry on
Aww, little things mean a lot
When you need a shoulder to cry on
I’m there to ease the pain and chase away the rain
Aww, darlin’, I just gotta say

Oh, it’s so nice to be with you
I love all the things ya say and do
And it’s so nice to hear you say
You’re gonna please me in every way

Oh, it’s so nice to be with you
I love all the things ya say and do
FADE
And it’s so nice to hear you say
You’re gonna please me

A young homeschooled girl sings the Psalms.

Wow! This is the most heart-felt singing from God’s songbook that I have yet to hear! This boys choir is wonderful.

When the children were little, we tried to expose them to many styles of music. They learned many traditional folk songs; they learned to sing the metrical Psalms; they learned to love the rock bands of our youth, such as The Moody Blues. Now, it is the children who clue me in to wonderful new artists. Just tonight Kayla said to me, “Mom, I think there is a singer you are going to love.” And, oh, is she right. Just listen to this:
