George Harrison’s song, “Here Comes the Sun,” composed in a lovely English garden, features lyrics that are so appropriate during these troubled times: “Little darling, it’s been a long cold lonely winter. Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces. Here comes the sun, And I say, ‘it’s all right.'”
The sun’s rays that bring new life to trees, flowers, and plants are so welcome this summer. Those same beams will delight sunbathers and swimmers at the beaches and those enjoying outdoor activities, picnics, and backyard barbecues. Music always captures the warmth of the sun when congregations gather to sing and when summer workshops and conventions are held! How inspiring is the Spirit’s burning presence as we make music together! There are so many problems to solve in the world, but through our music–making, we can instill hope for the future. “Here comes the sun, And I say, ‘it’s all right.'”
Children’s voices best capture the brightness and warmth of life around us. Here is a performance of All Things Bright and Beautiful that I know will bring you joy! You can also view the performance on YouTube. The performers are the young Minnesingers of the Lenoir-Rhyne Youth Chorus, Hickory, NC. My wife, Florence Jowers, is the conductor and Freda Herrell, the pianist.
May God’s warmth and cheerfulness fill your life and everything around you this summer!

Clearly their parents are raising them right to be singing the Beatles so young!
