You remember the first night you did that?
I do.
Oh, you guys, why didn't you tell me grandparenting was so fun, I'd have done it first.
Oh my word, I love this season.
I just love it so much.
I used to wish my kids wouldn't grow up.
I'm so glad they did, because I'd have never got her.
Well, I tell you what, a few months ago I gave her a live mic on that last course.
And Winston heard her voice come amplified out over the speakers, and immediately he went.
_ _ _ He knew his mic was not on.
Sorry, Olivia, by the way.
I apologize for what you just said.
No, I don't.
But anyway, the next night I did it again, and Winston heard her voice, and he thought,
No, that's not going to happen.
He reached over and grabbed that mic out of her hand so fast.
Oh, she didn't like that.
She grabbed it back, and they got in a tug-of-war,
and they started pushing and pulling.
And he got so mad at her, he started screaming and crying right there in front of the whole audience.
And the whole time we're going,
If you're wondering why we're happy.
I was like, get these kids off fast before this stage blows up.
But anyway, little Miss Emma, she's my little sidekick, let me tell you.
She loves music so much.
Oh, I can't even tell you how much this child loves music.
And she loves rhythm, she likes syncopation, she kind of gets it.
And so she and I do a lot of fun things together.
We compose a lot of songs that you [Bb] will never hear.
Are you going to sing for these people?
Sing our brand new one, right?
She's got a brand [Bm] new song that we just learned, and she is super excited to sing.
Are you ready to do this?
All right, I want you. _ _ _

[Bm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
Jesus had no [Bm] place [Em] to lay.
_ [G] _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
[G] Nobody had room [D] for the king [Em] back then.
[A]
I won't let that happen again.
[D] _ _ [G]
I'll make a home in [C] my heart.
_ [C] _
[D] Me _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C]
and Jesus [D] never need [G] to be [C] apart.
[G] I'll make a [D] home in [G] my heart.
[D] _ [G] I'll make a home _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] in [G] my heart.
_ _ [C] Me and Jesus [D] never need [G] to be [C] apart.
[Bm] I'll make a [D] home in [G] my heart.
_ [C] Me and Jesus [D] never need [G] to be [C] apart.
[G] I'll make a [Dm] home [D] in my [G] heart. _

_ _ He is not going to let her have all the thunder, let me tell you.
I think we've got us another little singer.
Oh [A] my goodness.
I can't think of another song I'd rather her sing than that one right there.
Rachel McCutcheon wrote that, and when she sent it to me three, four months ago,
the moment I heard it, I had tears in my eyes, and I said, oh, keep that song for Emma.
I want her to sing that.
Yeah, I think we've got some future there with her.
She just absolutely loves music, and when she comes to my house, that's what she wants to do most of the time
is go to the music room and let's learn a new song.
Actually, she sung that one about four times, only four times.
And she said to me, Nana, it's time to get a new song.
