I'm Trying to Be Like Jesus

I plan to sing this song with a little boy, who will be singing "the Holy Ghost's part".   : )

I got the inspiration to do it that way.  I'll sing all the way up to "....the still small voice, saying...", and then he'll sing, "Love one another as Jesus loves you....", etc..., and each time the Holy Ghost's part comes, he'll sing what the Holy Ghost would say.

I think it'll sound really good that way.  I'm thankful for the inspiration.

All of the music people in our Ward had been asked by the music organizer, to perform something during Sacrament meeting in the upcoming months.

I said I would, and I got one of the other Ward organists to agree to accompany me.

Then I puzzled and puzzled over what to sing.

I am a serious ALTO -- meaning -- I really don't sing anything above the G above Middle C very well, so I need something that is pretty low on the scale, but I wasn't finding anything.

Sure, we could transpose a song, but that actually takes a lot of time, which I didn't want to spend.

Then the other morning, I thought about doing this song.  Then I thought about having a kid standing next to me, holding my hand.  Then I thought about a kid singing the Holy Ghost's part, and then I thought of a BOY singing the Holy Ghost's part.   : )

Two Sundays ago, during the Primary's Sacrament program, this one boy sang a song.  He is the music organizer's son.

This past Sunday, I asked his mother if she thought he would want to sing with me -- the Holy Ghost's part of the song.  She said that since he loved singing in the Primary program, that he would surely be happy to sing with me.

However -- they might be moving, so we'll see what happens.

In the meantime, I'm going to start practice singing the song and send the link to her so that her son can practice too -- just in case he can sing with me.   : )

I don't have a day planned to sing it yet, but she said that the beginning of December would probably work. 

Enjoy the song.
