Amazing Grace, For They Sang From Their Souls

Amazing Grace, For They Sang From Their Souls

The church was crowed that day

Perhaps a bit more than usual, so I thought

And there was something in the air this very day

A little bit of something that I never felt before

The song selected, Amazing Grace.

A song I knew well and really identified with well

The song was sung rather slowly at first

And the further along it went it did not get much better

At the songs end, the Deacon cried out

Is this the best you folks can do

Sing from your souls he said. Think about each and every word

Sing from your soul like never before, just sing from the heart 

We all looked at one another, and the elders began to smile 

Perhaps remembering younger days so long ago

They each took the other by the hand and gave a little squeeze

They raised their arms up all at once, now they began to sing

Amazing Grace, how sweat the sound, that saved a wretch like me

The music was different, and amazingly so

Each person singing from their heart and the debts of their souls

And I remember grasping my neighbors hand a bit tighter.

Thinking to myself, were is this glorious sound coming from

And as we raised up our hands and looked towards the skies

The bag piper played as we each gave our all that day

And we all felt blessed by the presence of The Holy Spirit that day.

Before our eyes the room grew much brighter

And we witnessed a blue swirling wind move about us

And before our eyes a blue flame appeared

Over our heads it danced with delight

We knew it was The Spirit

The very Holy Spirit of our God

And it stayed till our song was finished

And slowly disappeared after we had sang our song

You see we gave our everything

In this song so very old, but so wonderfully true

There were many rebirths that day, a few new conversion too

Praise God in all His Glory, believe in Him every day

Give yourself completely each and every way.

Remember the Father loves us; His promises are always true 

Just give of yourself completely-

To yourself and to Him …always be true.

I had to mention the bag pipes, for the instantly give you a feeling of old world feelings… warm and wonderful feeling that our God is so very near. And while this is a story, who knows perhaps some day in the future could come true. We are entering the last days of miracles, let’s enjoy them like new. 

God bless you all and remember, pray, 

The Father would like to hear from you. 

Love you, Carl
