One of my favorite football stories is credited to Vince Lombardi of the Green Bay Packers. It’s probably an urban or sports legend but I still like it...

Our hearts with old sorrow beginning to ache;
With old work unfinished when night stayed our hand

With new problems rising, our minds

Mary begins by telling God that she praises Him from the depths of her soul. I learned a long time ago, when I was minoring in music in college, that there are different ways that we can sing with our voices.
