My favourite song in times of trials and tribulations. I am a proud Presbyterian.
Closeburn Thornhill, Dumfriesshire, United Kingdom
I heard this in a dream last night and it awoke me and made me restless. I went on the internet and when I read the words to last verse, boy did I relate to that. So do not anyone tell me that I was not sent a message as it was so appropriate at the moment and no I am not deeply religeous but this has really moved me.
