Songs that mean a lot to you appearing out of the blue..

Many years ago when I was walking down the street with my head down, hopelessly depressed and lost in my own misery I heard a young girl singing. I looked up and there, skipping her way down the sidewalk toward me was a young girl.. maybe eight or nine years old singing at the top of her lungs "A mighty fortress is our God." She was singing with such joy and hope that I was really taken aback. By the time I collected my thoughts and turned around to see where she had gone, she was nowhwere in sight.

Several months later, I was walking down that same street with a slightly lighter step, and I recognized the place where I had heard the little girl singing. And at that moment, the church up the street started playing it's carillon. The song they played?

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.
