“When you hear Doc Watson singing Amazing Grace, something else enters the room.”

Every time feels like my first time. And I just find that the process of it feeds into one’s own self-obsession.

A candle throws its light into the darkness, in a nasty world so shines a good deed. Make sure the fortune that you seek is the fortune that you need.

If you’re gonna live, then live it up. If you’re gonna give, then give it up. If you’re gonna walk the Earth, then walk it proud. If you’re gonna say the word, you got to say it loud.

Time is really for those who really need it. I mean, I deal with it. A lot of people are slaves to the second, minute hand. I can’t do that!

People who try to define their spirituality sometimes are annoying, ’cause the spirit is something you feel and let guide you and humbly respect.

You can run away from home But you can’t run away from your pain I sit here alone There’s always someone else to blame.

They say time will make all this go away. But it’s time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays.

I knew a girl, her name was Truth. She was a terrible liar.

It was a huge deal, a huge musical discovery that became life lessons learned. You can’t return from having an experience like that. The Blind Boys are truly the deepest well of American musical heritage you can discover.

Some things You have to let be lost Some battles, some battles You have to leave unfought. Then the truth just wastes away In all we dare not say. And in all we can’t explain But I faithfully remain.

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option.

There’s something in everyone only they know.

Folk is bare bones music.

The Blind Boys are truly the deepest well of American musical heritage you can discover.

I don’t know how to not become every person I walk by.

It will make a weak man mighty. it will make a mighty man fall. It will fill your heart and hands or leave you with nothing at all. It’s the eyes for the blind and legs for the lame. It is the love for hate and pride for shame. That’s the power of the gospel.

Grant me the grace to dissolve my negative thoughts about myself today. I breathe the grace of kindness into my heart. And may the grace of healing flow abundantly to every one in need of help.

Hope is in the name of God, the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hope is when you compare your suffering to the infinite, immeasurable love and grace of God.

I look on the opposite sex with something like the admiration with which I regard the starry sky on a frosty December night. I admire the beauty of the Creator’s workmanship, I am charmed with the wild but graceful eccentricity of the motions, and then I wish both of them goodnight.

A quiet heart is content with what God gives. It is enough. All is grace.

Exit gracefully. Heal and grow. Don’t look back.

Few souls understand what God would effect in them if they should give themselves entirely into his hands and allow his grace to act.

When you’re trying to achieve a goal, negative people will just bring you down. Surround yourself with the positive.

As you step every day and we’re going to see challenges, we going to see failures, we should certainly learn from the failures and be gracious with our successes too as well.
