The song i s beautiful, but not nearly as beautiful as y o u. As for crying, I don't think there is anything that helps more when feelings bottle up. A good, long, cry clears the air and cleanses the soul.
If that doesn't work, I have found that it is important to find a place where I can get by with scream my lungs out. Have an old-fashioned tantrum!! You have done a great job of helping us feel your pain, Luv. But what is most important is that you allow yourself
to feel it to the fullest. . .then picture stuffing it in a Hefty bag and tossing it in the nearest dumpster! May sound silly, but it works for a lot of people, including me. Thanks for posting this
honest and deeply affecting piece. Betcha sing it purdy!:) Love always, and then, 'Pea' <3

Beautiful song, one of my fav's also...Indeed it does bring a person to that place where they can let go, when we praise HIM in song. Which is what we do when we listen to praise music hymns etc.
So of course the write that follows is inspired thus....

"How Great Thou Art" is one of my favorite hymns, too. There is no greater knowledge than that of knowing that God sacrificed His only Son for us. There could be no greater gift. A very inspired write. Thank you,
