Today’s post was written by Paul.
I was whistling the old song “Sing Unto Him a New Song” while washing the dishes, and Granny said, “We ought to sing that song.”
She recognized the tune because she and Pap used to sing it. Pap and his brother, Ray, also sung it.
It was on the same 1966 Jim and Jesse album as the last song that Granny and I uploaded. As I finished washing the dishes, “I said, sure, Doll, if you want to.” She took her cane and disappeared into her bedroom. She came back wearing a very pretty shirt. I told her that if Katie sees it, she’ll want it. 🙂
This song is surprisingly hard to sing. The notes are so easy to go flat or sharp on (which I did several times), because the words or syllables that fall on those notes are kind of hard to form into those pitches (like the word “Him”), but it is a very good song, one of encouragement.
Several times in the book of Psalms, David talks about singing a new song to God. We know that God is a creative God, the Creator of everything, and the writer of this song, like David, believed that it pleases the Lord when we use the creativity that He gave us to create something to honor Him. The songwriter also says that we benefit when we create and perform something for God–that God lifts us up in response. I searched online but couldn’t find the songwriter’s name.
I hope you enjoyed this duet with Granny. Somewhere, I believe I have a recording of her singing the song with Pap. If I can find it, I may share it.
Next month, I’ll upload a song for Hank’s birthday, and on the day after, I hope to upload a special video to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Wilson Brothers’ first album, Words of Life. I hope you all “tune in” for those videos.
The last “coming soon” thing that I’ll mention in this description is that the new CD of Pap’s songs that I have been producing over the past six years is finally at the duplication house. I have been exchanging email messages with the artwork department, requesting small changes here and there. I hope to receive new proofs soon and to be able to give them final approval to start printing everything. The title of the album is Live to Never Die. When we have the new CD’s, we’ll let everyone know, perhaps with a video.
Thanks for reading and watching! You can hear Jim and Jesse’s version of “Sing unto Him” by searching on YouTube.
Original singles released on Spotify.

Paul
I heard this a few days ago and it has been blessing me ever since. Had to come back and listen again. Paul and Granny, than you so much for using your beautiful voices to bless all of us.
I’ve never heard this song before! It was beautifully done! I’ve looked for the lyrics but couldn’t find them anywhere. Do you have posted anywhere so I could copy them or maybe you could email them to me? Thank you!
How I loved to hear this. Sweet Granny with her precious voice. She is a gem.
Beautiful song and Paul and granny did a wonderful job
Paul, I Sure loved listening to your duet with Granny. A beautiful old song beautifully done.
That was so pretty! Thank you!
Lovely, just lovely. Thank you!
lovely…precious…so.gifted.
So precious. Happy tears listening to this sweet song sung by mother and son. The music genes go way back in the Wilson family.
Granny puts in in mind of my melma and how she sings . Love all these old songs. Brings back so many memories of my childhood when I was with my pelpa and melma. Prayers to you all.
What a beautiful blending of voices on a beautiful song. Thank you for sharing.
Paul and Granny that is beautiful singing unto the Lord! God bless you both! Prayers for Granny and the whole family!
Granny has a beautiful voice. She must have been something else when she was in her prime. She haven’t lost it, it’s just muted a little bit.
It’s almost supper time and I didn’t realize I hadn’t read your post today. I had seen the short clip of Paul and Granny singing earlier today and left a comment. I had to comment again because I loved this so much! I’ve been trying to be more thankful for the blessings in my life recently. I would consider this a blessing!!!
A beautiful uplifting song & Granny & Paul’s voices were like angels singing. Love Granny’s shirt! Granny is so sweet & precious & I wish I had lived close to y’all because she would have been my best friend. Prayers still going up for Granny & your entire family. Y’all have the best thing anyone could want & that is a loving & close family. You all are blessed. I often wish I had the same. God bless your family & all the loyal subscribers.
I could listen to Paul sing as day. His voice is so pure! Then, to hear Granny’s beautiful voice was a joy! Thank you for sharing your family with us. Prayers for all! Take care and God bless ❣️
Lovely! Thank you.
Thoroughly enjoyed this duet of Paul & Granny. Such a blessing. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for this beautiful song and beautifully sung this morning as I was getting ready for church. It was a “Light” to my heavy heart and worried mind this morning to have a different perspective and praise the Lord this morning instead of bogged down with my worry thoughts. I have sung it in my head all day and really like it. Mrs. Wilson looks beautiful and the top looks lovely on her. Y’all sounded so wonderful together! What a treasure for mother and son to be able to sing and play the guitar like that together. Y’all made me smile, and my daughter too when I played it for her. Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday and week!
For everyone that has enjoyed Paul and Granny today, I found another song of Paul and Granny singing together. It is “How Much Are You Worth”. For the last hour and a half I have been listening to the hymns of old I grew up singing and hearing in church, sung by the Pap, Paul and other family members of the BP&A. My church still sings the old hymns.
Oh my goodness how do y’all stand to be around granny without squeezing her?!? Such a sweet mother and son duet. I love it so much
I love to hear Granny and Paul sing together. Beautiful song. God’s continued blessings on all of you.
Beautifully done.
I didn’t know Granny had such a lovely voice! Did she use that talent on any recordings with the Wilson Brothers, Pap, Paul, the Girls? A hidden gem.
Marilyn-you can hear Granny and Pap in this post: https://blindpigandtheacorn.com/time-has-made-a-change-in-me/ Thank you!
Granny’s voice is so strong and clear. Thank you for your blessing.
Such beautiful harmony. Grannie’s voice is clear and precious. What sweet memories these videos will always be for your family. Thank you for letting us share those memories.
I am so drawn to this video. I have watched it over and over. I get a sense of so much comfort in it. It is hard for me to put into words the complete peace I feel deep in my soul as I look at your Mom. It overwhelms and surrounds me, like the warmth of a very soft, cozy blanket. God is good, Tipper and Paul, He is very good. I love all of you, and I am praying!
Donna. : )
It’s so beautiful to see a son, singing with his mother. Granny, you have an amazing voice. The words to that song are so true. When we’re going through trials, we just sing a new song to the Lord and he lifts us up. God bless.❤️
Beautiful song. Lot of encouraging words. Granny sure can harmonize beautifully. They did a great job.We live you Granny and we’re still praying for you. God Bless!!!!!
Just beautiful!! Thank you for sharing.
This video melts my heart every time I watch it. The beautiful voices of Paul and Granny blend perfectly. Thank you for such an uplifting and beautiful song! Love you, Granny!
So lovely.
Precious and beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing.
That was just beautiful. You sure made me smile this morning. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
That’s a very special song, and They did it beautifully.
Oh, thank you both for sharing your gifts! And His mercies are new every morning, are they not?
Thank you for sharing the rest of the story, which makes the song and Granny’s smile even sweeter. God bless! ❤️
Loved you calling her “doll.” She’s a beautiful woman. Your voices blend so beautifully on the song.
Thanks for sharing the video. It’s priceless! Continued prayers for all.
Precious song. Thanks for sharing it with us, Tipper!
Absolutely beautiful and precious!
What a blessing & joy it was this morning to see Paul singing with his mother. Granny has a beautiful voice & it was beautiful music to the ears of God. It’s so sweet of Paul to take time to include Granny in the videos & I had to chuckle when she went in to get a pretty shirt to put on for the video. Prayers for Granny & the entire family. May you have many more of these precious times together to make memories. Hugs!
Just had church sitting on the front porch!!! Worshipful song with an encouraging message.
Granny and Paul make a great duo. Prayers continue. Have a blessed Sunday.
Absolutely beautiful as well as uplifting…!!!!!
Paul, I have never heard Granny sing with you and now I want to hear more. We would have never known the song was hard to sing as you and Granny mastered it.
This song reminds me of that wanting to go beyond our ability, to reach higher. I sometimes feel that must surely be the same for all believers. One day (when all days but that one are over) I feel sure part of “the glorious liberty of the children of God” will be the ability to exceed our present limitations. Perhaps then each will be both songwriter and singer? Good thoughts brought to mind for a Sunday morning.
What a wonderful blessing! Granny is a good singer!! Great harmony!!!! Thank you Tipper and Paul!!
Beautiful! Granny is so lovely! And Paul’s voice is so pure!
That was beautiful!! I wish we could have heard Granny singing with you more as she has such a sweet soft harmony voice blending with your beautiful voice. I like her pretty shirt too:)
I had never heard this song . Paul and Granny singing together is priceless and will only become more valuable as time goes on. I needed to hear the song’s message this morning. I saw the older post “Angel Band Come And Around Me Stand”. I thought of my granddaddy, Angle Band and a Beautiful Life were his 2 favorite songs. Each morning while out at the barn feeding his animals, he would be singing these songs as loud as he could. He lived his life by the words or message in A Beautiful Life.
I would love to have a Paul and Granny album of music; I would buy it in a heartbeat. Their voices are perfect together, and the album could be a complete Pressley family affair with all voices and all instruments, but I’m a true fan of Granny’s voice coupled with Paul’s.
Paul and Granny, what a blessing to hear you both sing such a beautiful praise to our Lord! Granny sing beautiful harmony and Paul your lead was perfect. Thank you both! Prayers for Granny and all the family.
Loved the song!!! May God bless sweet Granny and the very talented Paul, who is very kind and tender to his mother!
That was beautiful.
God bless you Tipper Pressley, God bless your family, God bless Granny! ♥️✝️
I enjoyed that song very much. Your voice is rich and Granny’s is so sweet. And you’re right, Paul, it’s a good, encouraging message in those words.
Good morning Paul and Granny Evelyn! I certainly enjoyed today’s beautiful song sung by two of my favorite singers and people! I never realized just how gorgeous Granny’s voice is until today! Isn’t she simply amazing that she is always eager to do her Father’s work even though she may not feel too good at times. And might I add she looks lovely and happy singing beside you, Paul! She and all of you are really blessed to have each other, lots of love, and a tight knit family! We all want that you know. May you be blessed this day and I want you to know you blessed my soul with this lovely song! I will sing a new song starting today-not this old one.
That was absolutely the sweetest thing I have seen for a very long time. Granny has a beautiful voice and her harmonies were perfect. Thank you so much for the inspiration on this beautiful Sunday morning. I know you already know how blessed you are to have both Paul and Granny as they are to have you.
I heard this a day or so on YouTube and really loved it! I especially loved hearing Granny harmonize. Thank you for sharing this. The words are very true.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ It’s so precious to hear the two of you singing together! She is a treasure!
I loved hearing y’all sing together. It was so beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. The lyrics are so sweet and true. Granny looks beautiful in her pretty blouse. Continued prayers for all of you.
A blessing for your family. Thanks for sharing.
I always love to hear Paul sing but to hear Granny for the first time was pure Joy!
This is so beautiful! Thanks you for sharing the background about the Psalms and David and the family story of music. I am always eagerly learning more. God bless you and keep all of your family this Sunday and always!
Thank you Paul. It is a lovely song. Granny looks so pretty.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!
