Hush! There's a baby...Children's Christmas Carol

The sunday school kids are singing this song for the christmas play and as soon as my almost 2 year old daughter heard the first 2 notes she started bouncing. I love it too. Especially the UK accented guy. :) I may have to get the CD of this sometime. Such fun music.

Magnificat by the Gettys

I just LOVE songs when they are mainly scripture in song... This one would be so great to sing... and to sing it pregnant would be so moving and powerful...but unfortunately singing when pregnant usually means lack of power aka breath to hit the notes! ah well... maybe next christmas. :)

Magnificat

My soul will magnify the Lord;

I rejoice in God my Savior,

In the wonder of His favor.

For He has done great things for me;

He was mindful of His servant.

Every age shall call me blessed.

The Hope of Abraham come

In the giving of a Son;

For He who promised is mighty

In remembering His mercy.

My soul will magnify the Lord

For His grace to those who fear Him

Through every generation.

The proud He scatters to the wind

As the ruler's strength is broken,

And the rich are left with nothing.

The humble lifted high,

And the hungry satisfied;

Our Portion and our Treasure,

Our Hope and Help forever.

Ah so many great songs I could sing this christmas...but I think I will be a little preoccupied this christmas :) (not to mention not having the breath to reach the notes).
Ah well.

and they have a Daily player where they play a half hour of clips that make up a program (like on Kids TV). usually the same for a week then on sundays they play a full length video. And then next week a different program etc. 

there is usually a bible verse of the week. then a how to do some sports section, a learn about animals section, a science section (these are really neat!! I learned alot from these segments!) and some other little segments.
