I guess that it is no secret how much I love music. Just about any kind. I love it all. But aside from barbershop there is one that I love almost as much. Dare I say maybe more?
I absolutely LOVE to hear children sing. It is one of the greatest sounds that God has blessed us with on this earth. it doesn't matter if it is a wonderful almost professional children's choir or just a child sitting behind me in church, I can't get enough of it. i can't really explain what it does to me, but it just seems to put a huge ear-to-ear grin on my face. A few Sunday's ago, I sat right behind the Mann's at church. Let me tell you, those little girls can sing. i don't think I sang a note that entire service. I just stood there in awe of the sound they were making. It was so pure and joyful.
I think that may be a small part of what makes children's voices so special to me. You can just hear the carefree nature of it. They are singing from the heart and they mean what they are singing (saying). It reminds me that sometimes in worship and in life I just go through the motions instead of praising God with every breath I take. So God bless the little children and the music they make. It's one of life's greatest joys for me.

I agree, Jamie. Usually, I pick one song per service and just let everyone sing but me - the effect is wonderful. I close my eyes and listen, turning my head to focus on different parts of the congregation. I can pick out certain voices, and hear their worship as if we were the only ones in the room. Most days, it makes my worship complete.
i agree with you too jamie. this past Sunday night i was behind the mann girls and morgan and one of the tullos girls and i did what you and amy did. i stopped signing, closed my eyes and just listened! so amny times the emotion that children's signing takes me to just overcomes me and i can sit there and listen and let tears fall as God's purity and power in the most precious things on eart (kids) takes over me entirely!
