Humble Thyself in the Sight of the Lord

So here is a little-known talent of the Baumgartner family: Wild dancing to an old praise song called "Humble Thyself in the Sight of the Lord". You'd think we were a bunch of charismatics instead of conservative Reformed Presbyterians! In our version, you have to dance fast, and with each repetition, you get faster. Usually we sing this with Chad accompanying us on his guitar and that really gets their feet going. Caleb's little toes practically do the "Riverdance" when we get to the end. Note him saying, "Faster!". Do NOT note, however, the horrible singing voice you hear. Also quite interesting is Eric's choice of "booty-shaking" to accompany this old spiritual song. Well, I guess the bible does mention "dancing before the Lord"! For our next number maybe we'll begin working on some Latin rhythms for "Kum Bah Yah"...
