I love the lyrics and the simplicity of this tune. Just beautiful. So I have included the mp3 on the sidebar as a sort of theme song for the site. It has been a favorite of mine since I happened upon it earlier this year. (I've happened upon a lot of wonderful music since I started working at Deseret Book a year ago and have also become reacquainted with several artists that I had lost touch with). Definitely a tender mercy.
I especially love listening to this song on the Sabbath.
I am amazed when sunlight streams so fine
I am amazed how low His light can shine
The angels fall around me to the very depth of my need
I am amazed at His tender mercies over me
I am alive, soul rise like the moon
I am alive, perspective turning soon
I praise each breath He lends me, day by day by day
I am alive by the grace He offers me today
I am amazed that He's aware of me
I am amazed to approach Him prayerfully
How painfully He loved me, oh how painfully
I am amazed at His tender mercies over me
--Shane Jackman, from the album Sanctuary
I am grateful for the joy that beautiful music brings.
