How many times,
(how many times!),
have I turned to music
To hear God’s voice
when there was no other way
to know he was near?
I hope this hymn, sung by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway, brings consolation and healing to whatever you may be experiencing.
Grace and peace to you…

Music from my other site…for those times and ours, too. A desperate prayer.
Grace and peace to all of us…

Any words I might offer
Would detract from these
Stuck in my soul
Oozing the cure for not caring enough
Wrapping the wounds
In tight bands of open-eyed hope and mercy
With no further ado, here are the words, words I gathered from James Cone in his book The Cross and the Lynching Tree; words I hope will wound and heal in your soul as they have in mine. Grace and peace to you…
