Amazing Grace - just not as you know it!

Many thanks to Beatthedrum for finding this - now do I use it in worship?? ;-) Enjoy!

Haunting Melody

Have you ever been haunted by a song or melody?

Last Friday my supervisor introduced me to a beautiful song called "Mary did you know?" I had never heard it before - but it instantly won me over. I have posted a version of it below so you can hear it for yourself (incase you have not heard it before either). My supervisor suggested we used at the close of our Christmas Assembly this coming Friday and I agreed.

On Sunday I was playing with the band at a joint concert with a local choral group and guess what they sang?

Then today at our lunchtime service our auxiliary minister used the words during her talk.

This song is haunting me! But in a good way. I like to think about the people in the Bible and to try and understand who they were, how they felt, what their hopes might be. Mary was a young girl - her life took a scary turn when she finds herself pregnant. This song offers the suggestion that she knew just how special this unborn child would be come.

I hope you enjoy it as much I do.
