Hey everyone,<\/span><\/p>\n

I suppose all the responses are in now concerning the words I asked from everybody, for help with for a song I have written called, “We’re Grateful Lord”.<\/span><\/p>\n

I thought you all might enjoy reading what we all wrote I think it’s wonderful how we are in such “harmony” of thought and spirit, overall. Responses are below, in order received.<\/span><\/p>\n

I will try to put into the song some of your words, as they will fit the verses of the song. And even if we do not complete the actual song for some reason, we can certainly still enjoy all our responses!<\/span><\/p>\n

thanks again.<\/span>
