__Behind every song is a story . . .__   
In times of doubt, fear, and loss, we turn to the songs and hymns that remind us that this world is not all there is--that what awaits us as followers of Jesus is a heavenly kingdom.

In sharing their stories, we can find even more comfort in our own circumstances.
