    I bet Amazing Grace makes the top charts rather than this song.

    God bless.

    How grateful I am that He changes our mourning into praise! Only by His Spirit, only by His grace ...

    A perfect Sabbath song, friend. Thank you for sharing this tune ...

    Hi Lulu! How great to hear another song by this wonderful writer! I really like it too. What a faith this sea captain showed after his conversion. It reminds me of St. Paul. What God can do in us is truly a wonder.
    Hope your day is a peaceful one,
    Ceil

Your comments keep my writing and often cause me to think. A written form of a hug or a pat on the back and an occasional slap into reality---I treasure them all!
