Why is it I keep returning to the same favorite songs, even though they are from a lot of different genres? Each reminds me of a place, a time, a person, and I feel my heart beat faster, feel happiness when I hear them, even if they’re about sad things, like people who have died.
All This Joy – by John Denver – first heard it when we sang it at church. Peter Ilgenfritz introduced it, then a male soloist sang the first verse. Next the choir joined in, and finally the whole congregation. It was so powerful; it has become one that calms and soothes me when someone I love dies, like Patty, in June 2008.
