How sweet the sound.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. We want to share with you this beautiful finale from "Carols by Candlelight" this year at First Baptist Church Jackson. This is a very powerful and moving song for many reasons. As we addressed our Christmas cards this year, we realized that we had quite a few family members on our list that were no longer here, and we started to miss them during this Holiday season, along with my Mom and other family members that have left us in the years before. But what a comfort to know that this time away from them on this earth is just a season, and that we will be reunited with them again in Heaven. What amazing grace that he saved a wretch like me, and that we have the promise of eternal Heaven with Him, our precious family members, and other believers. When we've been there ten-thousand years, bright shining as the sun, we've no less days to sing God's praise than when we'd first begun. Merry Christmas!
