In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16

Amazing Grace - Wintley Phipps

Solo of Amazing Grace sung by Wintley Phipps at the Inaugural Prayer Service.  He started singing the song by humming the first verse because that is what the Negro Spiritualists would do.  They would begin a song by humming.  His voice is INCREDIBLE.  It billows.  So round.  So full.  Simple beautiful.  The only down-side of this performance was the occasion for which he was singing.  I just simply could listen to him all day.  Creamy voice in such low tones.  Love it.
