On a clear day, rise and look around you, And you’ll see who you are. On a clear day, how it will astound you That the glow of your being outshines every star! You’ll feel part of every mountain, sea and shore. You can hear from far and near A word you’ve never, never heard... Read More

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now I’m found.
