Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a soul like me I once was lost, but now I'm found was blind but now I see T'was grace that brought my heart this love This love that grace set free Amazing grace, below, above My heart is filled with peace

about

*This Love is teaching my mind to be gentle, forgiving, and kind.
And I am coming home to you, with this love coming pourin’ through*

Music is medicine for the heart and soul. Sometimes, a well-timed song can be exactly the healing we need. All of these songs came through at the time I needed to hear them, and I hope they offer the same to you.
