Pretty Amazing

Today is national prayer day and I silently prayed small prayers of thanks through out the day for my family, friends, dogs, shelter, food, peace, and grace.

Tonight, I came home from class a bit uplifted with positive possibilities in the future for me and watched some TV. I heard a new song from Neil Diamond (yes, I love Neil. I admit it). These lyrics spoke to me deeply and expressed my feelings towards sister and my friends. Neil has a new album coming out next week and this is one of his new songs. I hope it touches whomever listens to it or reads this blog.

Pretty Amazing Grace
by Neil Diamond

Pretty Amazing Grace is what you show me
Pretty Amazing Grace is who you are
I was an empty vessel, you filled me up inside
and with an amazing grace restored my pride.
Pretty Amazing Grace is how you saved me and
with amazing grace reclaimed my heart.
Love in the midst of chaos, calm in the heat of war
Shown with amazing grace what love is for
You forgave my insensitivity and my attempt to mislead you
You stood beside a wretch like me
Pretty Amazing Grace was all I needed
Stumbled inside the doorway of your chapel
Humbled and odd by everything I found
Beauty and love surround me freed me from what I feared
I asked for Amazing Grace and you appeared
Pretty Amazing
Pretty Amazing
Pretty Amazing
You overcame my loss of hope and faith
Gave me a truth I could believe in
You led me to a higher place
Showed that love, truth, hope and grace were all I needed
Pretty Amazing
Pretty Amazing

Breathing peacefully.
