An adorable new video is going viral showing a little baby who can’t help but join in when he hears his church choir singing!

The video opens with the grandma singing the hymn, “Something About the Name of Jesus.” The baby is so transfixed by the song that he eventually starts singing as well, and though his lyrics may be a little off, it’s clear that he’s having the time of his life.

The lyrics to the song are:

“There is something about the name Jesus
Something about the name Jesus.
It is the sweetest name I know.
Oh, how I love the name Jesus,
Oh, how I love the name Jesus,
It is the sweetest name I know.

“Some people say I’m crazy, but
I can’t explain the power that I feel when I call your name
(When I call your name)
Said it’s just like fire shut up in my bones.
The holy ghost is moving (yes it is)
And just won’t leave me alone.
There’s something.

“Said it’s sweeter than honey from a honeycomb.
I can feel the holy ghost moving
And it won’t leave won’t leave me alone.
(No, no, no, no, no, no)
At the name of Jesus (oh)
Every knee has got to bow (got to bow).
So, you don’t have to wait till the fire comes.
You can call on him, shout, praise him, do it right now.”

“Something about the name Jesus,
Something about the name Jesus.
It is the sweetest name I know.
Oh, how I love the name Jesus,
Oh, how I love the name Jesus.
It is the sweetest name I know,
I know, I know, I know.

“Oh I love the name Jesus (Jesus)
Oh (oh)
Oh (oh)
Jesus”

What a beautiful hymn!

Doctors say that it is crucial for the development of babies that their parents and grandparents sing to them.

“Being vocal in any way is beneficial to babies,” said pediatrician Dr. Michael Zollicoffer. “It’s the vocal resonance and the interaction that helps the babies with their development. But whatever you do, don’t make talking or singing with your baby another ‘to-do.’ It can–and should be–a fun and relaxing time for both you and your baby. When you are both enjoying interacting together, the benefits will come. Let development be natural!”

The National Institute of Deafness and Other Communication Disorders also encourages parents to sing to their little children.

“The first three years of life, when the brain is developing and maturing, is the most intensive period for acquiring speech and language skills. These skills develop best in a world that is rich with sounds, sights, and consistent exposure to the speech and language of others,” the institute said. “There appear to be critical periods for speech and language development in infants and young children when the brain is best able to absorb language. If these critical periods are allowed to pass without exposure to language, it will be more difficult to learn.”

We think it’s safe to say that the little boy in this video will soon be joining the choir himself! SHARE this story so we can spread this adorable video!
