The church released the next batch of hymns for the new hymnal last week. I was only familiar with three of them, but I’m pleased with the three that were included that I know, and I’m looking forward to getting to know the others. One of the new additions is Amazing Grace. I’m thrilled! It’s such a beautiful hymn of forgiveness.
I used to volunteer at the county jail. I would teach religious classes, and at the end of each class, after we had the closing hymn and prayer, and while we were waiting for the guards to take the inmates back to their dormitory, I would play a DVD of an a capella rendition of Amazing Grace. The students always looked forward to it, and it was a tradition that they found meaningful.
