shower hymn (emma style)

today was one of my greatest highlights of parenthood. if i could have videotaped it, it would have made your day as well. this morning, while i was getting ready- emma was in the shower. now, when you shut the shower door for her, she is in a world of her own. a couple of minutes in, she begins to sing...very loudly. so loudly, in fact, that her little voice is squeaking. the lyrics are posted below. i wish i could help you out with the accompaniment, but it was a tune i have never heard. also- the lyrics are original. caution: they don't totally adhere to Calvinist standards.

"Jeeee-sus- died on a cross.
now He es in hea....ven.
grammy harlene's mom is there too.

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-sus died on a big cross.
not when he was a tiny boy.
when he was a teeny baby he lived in a box.

Jeeeeee-sus died on a cross.
He was a grown up.
like my daaaaaaa-ddy.

He was tough and sturdy (i am not kidding, the girl said tough and sturdy)
when he died on a cross.
He didn't like it.
But now He es in hea------ven
like a tiny baby (?)"

is that not the sweetest (though odd) thing you have ever heard.
