I'm sure you'll agree that one of the greatest (and most familiar) hymns of the church is Amazing Grace, written by John Newton. I don't believe there has ever been a song written that captures the very essence of the transforming power God has over our lives as believers quite like that hymn.

However, I must admit that as a child, every time I would hear this hymn sung in church, there was one phrase that would always leave me confused. Just didn't make much sense to me.

"Amazing Grace, How Sweet The Sound, That Saved A Wretch Like Me..."

Wait just one minute! Did anyone hear what I just heard? Amazing Grace, How Sweet The Sound?

Every time I heard that phrase I would look up and around at all the grownups singing, just to see if anyone was as puzzled as I was. Never found one.

Finally, I mustered enough courage to ask someone. But not just anyone.

I went to see Leola Ford. She was one of the senior members of our church's choir.

Leola was somewhat of a source of inspiration for our church, and especially for me. Strangely enough, it was not because of her singing. But rather it was because Leola Ford was blind...

We are so blessed to be able to broadcast Christian worship music around the world. We thank you for allowing us to do this as we celebrate our 11-year anniversary! Everyone connected with AllWorship.com is very humbled to be part of this ministry. We realize this accomplishment has nothing to do with us. It has everything to do with God and His awesome power. We can see God’s hands guiding this ministry at every decision point, even before AllWorship began. Here is the story of how AllWorship came to be in 2004.

Some encouraging emails we received in February from our listeners around the world:

Location: South Africa
Comments: Your email is one that I send to everyone in the office, Christian and non-Christian, because they are so thought provoking. Here in South Africa, we need this type of food for thought. Otherwise, we just get wrapped up in all the wrongs that are done and people tend to harp on that instead of trying to make a difference.

Comments: I listen to you at work. Just keeping it where I can hear it, keep my heart and mind in the right place while dealing with so many people and issues. It is a real blessing.
