Amazing Grace
I originally learned to sing Amazing Grace when I was with Miriam and Rebecca a zillion years ago. Many books and histories have been written about it. The apocryphal background to the song is of the author who was on a ship that had slaves; the ship sank in a storm and as slaves and freemen alike were washing up on the shore, some living, some not, he had an epiphany about slavery and life.
When Abigail was born, it became a song I sang to her a lot. As a 10 year-old, when Abigail has had a particularly bad day, or a particularly good day, she asks me to sing it. Here are two live recordings.
June 18th, 2015. Abigail is 5 months old.
July 7th, 2017, Abigail is 2 1/2 years old.
It sounds like your soul touched Abigail’s soul from the start. You’re an amazing dad!
