Calvin Girl Lyrics

Hello London

I wanna woman who can love me for life.

I wanna woman can be a good wife.

I wanna woman who can sing in a choir.

I wanna woman who can change a tire.

I wanna woman, she’s gotta be cute,

She’s gotta know her Calvin’s Institutes.

I wanna a woman who isn’t out on the skids,

I wanna woman who wants to have 12 kids.

I wanna woman ain’t got no rheumatism.

I wanna woman who knows her Catechism.

I wanna a woman whose gonna give me what I wanna.

I want a woman who can serve me fried iguana.

I wanna a Calvin Girl. (x4)

...been around the world.

I wanna a Calvin Girl.

I wanna woman with her head on straight.

I wanna woman I can take on a date.

I wanna woman who knows right and wrong.

I wanna woman who can mow my lawn!

I wanna woman who can sing in the corn.

I wanna woman who can serve me brontosaurus.

I wanna a Calvin Girl. (x4)

Been around the world.

I wanna a Calvin Girl.

She’s gotta be straight.

She’s gotta be a sport.

I don’t want any women from Doer.

She’s gotta be straight.

I don’t want no dope.

Don’t give me any women from Hope.

Don’t give me any women who smoke.

I wanna woman give to me mental stimulation

She must approach this thing with serious dedication.

She’s gotta know it’s more than just infatuation.

She’s gotta know some Biblical Interpretation.

If this sounds good to you it’s my recommendation,

Common baby and fill out an application.

I wanna a Calvin Girl. (x4)

Been around the world.

I wanna a Calvin Girl.

I want everybody here to lend an ear,

because I been preaching this word for 25 years

If you’re looking for love all around the world,

If you want a good wife, get a Calvin girl.

I wanna a Calvin Girl. (x4)

Been around the world.

I wanna a Calvin Girl.

Psalm Singers

Elisabeth Elliot said she has nothing against the praise songs but it is the hymns that get you through the night. We could say the same of the Psalms.
~

Singing psalms and hymns: they convict sin, help in memorizing the scripture, are joyful and victorious too! I am thankful for the Serven family for putting these together. All five of their CD’s are wonderful.

Dixie as only Charlie can sing it.

Harmonica ~ Buddy Green

'Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring' by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Mozart's Piano Sonata in C, K. 545 - Allegro...

Paul Overstreet - Homemaker

One of my favorite Paul Overstreet songs.

I love it when men really love their wives and see how vital she is.

Daddy has always praised Mom, saying how wonderful she is,

how she delivered him from loneliness and gave him purpose.

Mom and Dad give me the confidence that marriage is best,

and is worth preparing for.

Thank you Daddy!

Music in Utero: The Smile of the Unborn

by Chuck Colson
BreakPoint June 29, 2009

In 1984, a video called The Silent Scream helped change the way people think about the unborn child. The footage of an actual abortion and the fetus’s reaction reminded us that abortion involves the death of a real person.

A recent bit of footage has similar potential, only it couldn’t be more different from The Silent Scream...

A segment of The Music Instinct featured Sheila C. Woodward of the University of Southern California, who has studied fetal responses to music. A camera and a microphone designed for underwater use were inserted into the uterus of a pregnant woman. And then Woodward sang.

The hydrophone picked up two sounds: the “whooshing” of the uterine artery and the unmistakable sound of a woman singing a lullaby.

Then something extraordinary happened. Upon hearing the woman’s voice, the unborn child smiled.

Becky Morecraft Sings "Hallelujah Praise Jehovah"

Elizabeth Elliot says that she has nothing against praise songs,

but the hymns get you through the night.

Singing the Psalms is like that.

We love this this rendition of Ps. 146.

Victor Borge improvising on the piano

We have loved Czardas, ever since Cuban violinist,

Jamie Jorge told the story of his college talent show in Chicago.

Jamie described his growing discomfort as rock group after heavy metal band dominated the stage.

Jamie tried to get out of playing, thinking no one would appreciate this music.

His friend convinced him to stay.

They gave Jamie a four minute standing ovation.

From the source:

Victor has just finished conducting at one of his 80th birthday concerts and the crowd reaction was so good that the violinist, Anton Kontra, suggests an encore. No encore was planned but Monti's Czardas, which Victor had heard before BUT HAD NEVER PLAYED, is suggested. ...

O Church Arise

I Dreamed a Dream - The Power of a Song from Les Miserables

By Eric Rauch

By now, most people have at least heard of Susan Boyle, the unlikely vocal sensation who stole the show on the April 11th broadcast of Britain's Got Talent. If you haven't seen the YouTube clip of Susan's performance, you need to click here and watch it. Take note of the almost immediate change in the attitude of the audience once Susan begins to sing. This clip is on pace to be the most-watched video clip EVER on the internet. There is something purely magical about the whole scenario that clearly illustrates the power of music. Susan's song in the auditorium that night transcended everything else that might have been on people's minds. A thousand mockers and skeptics were instantly transformed into fans, and it made no difference that the majority of those people probably weren't even familiar with the song or the play from which it came. Susan Boyle became an instant celebrity and a roomful of strangers became a community because of one simple song.

Emily McIntosh Celebration

We began Emily's celebration with a fine potluck dinner.

Tables were decorated by Emily with flowers from her grandma's house.

Emily's graceful hands played "The Lark"

accompanied by her sister, Haunnah.

A delight for all to see...

Emily & Haunnah sang "Wings of the Dawn" in harmony

after Emily recited Psalm 139 from memory.

Emily played Chopin's Fantasy Impromptu.

Emily made her own outfit and

the dress for her younger sister as well.

Proud Papa had never heard her recite Psalm 139 before.

Phil thanked her for her diligence

rising each morning to writing and reading scripture

without being told.

She instructs her younger sisters

on house cleaning day and baking day.

A hope chest for, Lord willing, the future bride

Ah, it is beautiful!

The wedding is coming sooooon!

Sisters

Sweet Friends

Sunshine Girls

Ashley said, "I miss Fama so much."

It's been almost five years since all they were in Fama's wedding together.

Susanna from Oregon is visiting.

After dessert, comes many good-byes.

"Sweet Baby Boy"

Andrew

Emily's Decor

I set out on a narrow way Many years ago

Hoping I would find true love Along the broken road

But I got lost a time or two I wiped my brow Kept pushing through...
