You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands. Isaiah 55:12 NIV
Back in 1975 when our first child was just 14 months old, we used to read to him from a book titled, "Poems and Prayers for the Very Young". In that precious little volume, one of our favorites was Singing Time by Rose Fyleman. I read it so often that I eventually added a melody and wrote some verses to make it into a lullaby somewhat based on Isaiah 55:12.. Now in spite of the fact that I loved the tune, neither of our boys say they have any memories of it. But when I played it for our grandson Christian, he fell in love with the song and insisted that we record it together. This video has knocked around in my files ever since and each time I see I say, "I need to do something with that someday." Today someday arrived, and I hope that this simple recording will be fun to watch and maybe even a melody you could share with your own children or grandchildren. I did finally get the song copyrighted in 2015, but please feel free to use it with your own families as you wish. I'll send the chords and lyrics on request. Have a blessed day all!
Oh, Pete! I’m in tears singing this with you and Christian. This is so beautiful! What a gifted messenger of music you are~and Christian just added the extra special too! Many blessings! Thank you for giving U.S. permission to share and use. 🎶🎶🙏🏻 it’s a tune I’ll keep hidden in my heart and sing when I praise!
So glad you were blessed to hear our grandson’s heart. He only has about 5 notes but he sings them loudly and with glee. He also knows every word of the Christian songs on the radio!
He is one very special kid. Because we are 1200 miles apart we do Bible studies together on Youversion. He usually pucks them from Toby Mack or any of his favorite worship bands. He just loves music.

Sing loudly and with praise! I just adore him! It’s amazing how music touches the soul! Keep singing, Christian!
I love this, Pastor Pete! That is just the kind of thing I would sing with my children when they were young. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Father and grandson — warms my heart. Beautiful!
Thanks David. Those were precious years. Christian is now 15 and sporting a mustache. I am so grateful he insisted we record this!
This video was a bright spot of my morning Pastor Pete!! What a beautiful song. You and Christian make a good team.
