The New Scottish Youth Choir tell it like it is!

We All Need More Kindness

The wonderful New Scottish Youth Choir, East Glasgow corp, perform Bob Chilcott's stunning choral composition 'Be Simple Little Children'.

The beautiful lyrics - taken from two Shaker texts of the 19th Century - combined with an intricate interweaving of multiple vocal parts make listening an immersive experience. [Make sure you listen with good quality headphones for the full stereo experience]

The simplicity and sincerity of these beautiful young voices will leave you breathless.

Many thanks to Tom Walkinshaw for the piano accompaniment.

Lyrics:

O will you sing another song, O will you sing it freely, 
If we will labour for more love and step it bright and easy? 
Yea labour light and labour quick, and labour spry and nimble, 
and every evil way reject be simple little children

I will bow and be simple, I will bow and be free, 
I will bow and be humble, yea bow like the willow tree. 
I will bow this is the token, I will wear the easy yoke, 
I will bow and be broken, yea, I’ll fall upon the Rock. 
O bow and be simple, bow and be free

Be Simple Little Children

A gorgeous rendition of Bernadette Farrell's setting of Psalm 139 by the New Scottish Youth Choir.

O God You Search Me

￼He Will Rise Again

Do not be afraid, He will rise again 
Do not be afraid, He will rise again Rise again

Verse 1 (Sarah)
Like a lamb they led him Led him to the grave
On a cross they nailed him Bled his life away

Chorus

Verse 2 (Findley)
For our sake he hung there Hung there on the cross Took our sin upon him Happiness was lost

Chorus

BIBLE VERSES READ BY HENNY AND ALISTAIR

Do not be afraid, Jesus is alive! 
Do not be afraid, Jesus is alive! He’s alive!

Verse 3 (Rachel and Keely-Grace)
Then the grave was empty Stone was rolled away Death had been defeated Love is in it’s place

Rap (Phil)
I went for a walk in the park one day when I saw a big hole right in my way
I tried to turn back, yeah I tried to stop but I fell right into a hundred foot drop Now I’m trapped in the dark, there’s no way out
I’m banging on the walls, gonna scream, gonna shout
‘Cos there’s still one thing that’s gonna make me survive
There’s no need to cry ‘cos Jesus is alive

Do not be afraid, Jesus is alive! 
Do not be afraid, Jesus is alive! He’s alive!

No need to cry, Jesus is alive
No need to cry, Jesus is alive etc.
Do not be afraid, Jesus is alive! 
Do not be afraid, Jesus is alive! He’s alive!
