This song’s concept of “Don’t Worry, Be Happy!” should be the desire and experience of every Christian. In the world ...read more

    . Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire, Uttered or unexpressed, The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear; The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near. –Author unknown.
