a month of music - DAY SEVEN

A SONG THAT REMINDS YOU OF AN EVENT

This is what we played as my sons' coffin was carried from church to go to the cemetery. SO obviously, it's very very dear to me.
The guys from church sang this originally, and I spent quite some time looking for a singer who didn't feel the need to try and 'improve' the song with their wobbly I'm-a-diva voice.
I think Nana does a beautiful job, allowing the beauty and passion of this song to come through.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.

T'was Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.

The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.

When we've been here ten thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.

About the tag...

I inked the front firstly, using Mustard Seed Distress Ink, and then used a scrap of muslin sent to me by my friend Terri.
The wings were from a RAK sent to me by the amazing Emma Allen, and I cut the hearts using a Sullivans' punch. I inked the edges with Fired Brick and Spiced Maramalade Distress Inks, and then stamped the butterfly on. The label was made with my trusty Dymo.
