HEALING SONG - SENDING YOU LIGHT

as sung by Susan Stein, subscriber to PICTURE TO PONDER, who, in a condolence message, wrote to me:

"We sing the following lyrics to those at a distance that we cannot visit- and I am singing them for you and your loved ones:

I am sending you Light
To heal you, to hold you
I am sending you Light
To hold you in Love!"

I asked her to record it for us, which she beautifully and kindly did. Susan is a member of Threshold Choir, a group in California which sings at bedsides in hospitals and at home. For more information, listen fully to the recording and then click on the Threshold link above.
