{HSCRC12} Hymn #1 Amazing Grace

I decided it was time to get out of some of the things I have been obligated to so that I could make some time for just me, stamping what I want to stamp and maybe that would include stamping something special for me. A couple of years ago, I took part in Patter's Names for God challenge and made some wonderful little flip books with a scripture on each one. I just cherish those books. Last year I did not have time to take part because of some design team obligations and trying to sell my cards in some area shops. Letting those go for now, I decided that my stamping resolution would be to take part in some challenges I've been missing and trying some new ones I haven't ever done before. When I went to Patter's blog and saw this year she was going to be doing a hymn a week for the challenges, I just knew this was the little project I need to do just for me. Church music has always been the heart of worship for me, and even though I don't have a gorgeous solo voice, God did give me a decent alto voice to sing harmony with others. Besides, no where I have found that a perfect voice is required to worship God, it is only stated as "making a JOYFUL noise." When your heart is full of praise, God hears it with all the beauty necessary! It's good to be back doing these challenges. I'm making it my weekly commitment and if you want to take part too, check it out here.

Here's my first hymn and I look forward to many favorites to follow. Not only are hymns inspiring in our faith, I have found that it helps me keep scriptures in my head better. May your new year be blessed with all the things that bring a song to your heart and the words of truth to your lips.
