It really has lifted my spirits. It's intensified my faith, given me more hope. That's what music does for me.

Also, any older song, especially any World War II songs remind me of Mama. She goes around the house either whistling or singing all the time. It drives my sister Alice crazy when we're playing games and Mama does that while it's Alice's turn!

Jesus loves me this I know for the Bible tells me so. Little ones to him belong, they are weak, but he is strong.

How was I to know that I'd be ok? I thought I'd lose it all when you walked away. How was I to know that I'd be this strong? I had what it takes all along. How was I to know?

I see the stars. I hear the rolling thunder, thy power throughout the universe displayed. Then sings my soul, my Savior, God, to thee.

Waiting makes me restless. When I'm ready, I'm ready.

I think it's a wonderful time for a woman.
