WAY Choir's Natalie

Tonight I sleep in MY bed!!! Although I am glad to be home, I love travelling with the WAY Choir and working with all the young people. I will probably post about the tour the next few days, but I will start by sharing "Natalie." If you have read my blog for a long time, you might remember the story I shared about my childhood Sunday School teacher and how she so impressed a young foster boy. When the boy became a man, he started a foundation to give poor children birthday parties. Now, this very successful man has children of his own and is also a foster parent. His daughter Natalie was part of WAY Choir singing alto and had a violin solo on the song, "If Not for Grace." This was her first year and she is one of the youngest members at 15 years old. She is a tiny, petite, doll and is as sweet as she is cute. The violin solo was absolutely beautiful and I was so very proud of her.

Lyrics to the song by Israel Houghton:

Where would I be

If not for your grace

Carrying me

Through every season

Where would I be

If not for Your grace

Came to my rescue

And I want to thank You

For Your grace

Grace that restores

Grace that redeems

Grace that releases

Me to worship

Grace that repairs

Visions and dreams

Grace that releases

Miracles
