When is the last time you caught yourself humming in the car or in the grocery store aisle? If you're like the two of us, you probably do this more than you realize. That voice you carry around with you is meant to be used. And there's nothing quite like humming and having words from the great hymns of the faith to pull out and play on that portable instrument.

Ever since we were little girls, someone has filled our musical memory banks with classic hymns that are ready anytime and anywhere.

And that's just what the hearts of all children long for. They need to soar. Just as birds need air to fly and fish need water to swim, children need music to voice their spiritual longings, to voice the praise that is part of their souls. When we hand them the gift of great music, they discover the pleasure. The more truth and beauty we share with them, the more truth and beauty they have to take with them. The more they listen, the more they understand. For like time capsules, great music and lyrics continue to release over time.

And this is the reason we bring you Hymns for a Kid's Heart, Volume Two. For us, some of our favorite hymns of adoration and movin' along songs are these. And we have included some hymns and stories about heaven and the celebration that awaits us.

Every time we sing a hymn, we are lifting our day and everything that's a part of it to God in grateful expectation. The children you love can too. You can give them this gift that will go everywhere with them.
