Today a National Prayer Service was held at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. for President Barack Obama and incoming Government officials. The most moving point of the service was the singing of "Amazing Grace" by the outstanding singer Wintley Phipps. Here is video of Phipps singing "Amazing Grace" today at the Cathedral . . . . .

The video below contains Wintley Phipps telling the story behind "Amazing Grace" and then singing the song in an even more powerful rendition (Trust me - worth your time to watch!) . . . . (watch video)

No thank you. I choose not to watch it.
The man has a beautiful voice, sang the hymn very with clarity and I truly enjoyed his rendition.
I then muted the rest of the event except for paying some attention to what was spoken merely to keep up with the words of the so-called clergy so that I'll know what they're about.
