Let’s sing with a fervor and love,
Let’s put aside each fear and bother,
Let’s bask in His grace from above.

God Invented the Morning
Rodgers and Hammerstein put it well with:
“Oh, what a beautiful mornin’
Oh, what a beautiful day

Everything’s goin’ my way.”

Prayer Not War
Last night I remembered a couple of old hymns we sang in my childhood going to Roman Catholic mass. They are “Shepherd of Souls in Love Come Feed Us,” and “O Sacred Head, Surrounded.” I can still sing most of the lyrics because we repeated them during many Sundays [and some weekday masses at the RC school I attended] in my youth. They do show a love and appreciation for what Christ has done for us.
