    world- 
    wearied 
    man 
    with 

    tear 
    filled 
    eyes 

    Walked 
    in 
    off 
    the street 
    of the 

    uncom
    monly 
    wise 

    In
    to 
    the church 
    meeting, 

    with 
    this 
    story 
    he came 

    Some
    times 
    angels 
    and 
    strangers 

    are 
    one 
    and 
    the 
    same 

    The 
    preacher 
    said 
    "Sir, 

    you're 
    welcome 
    in 
    here 

    Now 
    tell 
    us 
    as 
    much 
    as 
    you'd 
    want 

    us 
    to 
    hear" 

    And the stranger 
    said, 

    "It was no 
    more 
    than an 
    hour 
    ago, people, 

    was lookin' 
    for 
    shelter 
    for the 
    night." 

    "I wanted 
    to go somewhere 

    out of the 
    way, 

    somewhere 
    peaceful 
    and quiet." 

    "So I went 
    to a 
    cemetery, 

    close 
    by 
    Thompson 
    Lane, 

    and with 
    full 
    respect 
    I entered 
    it 

    and found 
    rest 
    from 
    the rain." 

    "I laid 
    down 
    under a 
    sycamore, 

    an' I was 
    barely 
    asleep, 

    when 
    someone 
    said "Hello 
    stranger" 

    and touched 
    the boot
    on my 
    feet." 

    "His hair 
    was 
    pure 
    silver, 

    almost 
    like 
    a crown 
    of glory 
    on top, 

    and the 
    rain 
    didn't 
    touch 
    him, 

    not 
    one 
    single 
    drop." 

    "His voice 
    was 
    familiar, 

    it 
    brought 
    me comfort 
    and peace." 

    "He laughed 
    and said, 

    "Well, we 
    picked 
    a strange 
    place 
    to meet, 

    but I 
    understand, 
    I've 
    often 
    come 
    here to 
    pray, 


    when the burdens 
    of 
    life 

    put stones 
    in 
    my way." 

    "And 
    you see 
    friend, 

    you 
    and me, 
    we're brothers, 

    though 
    we've 
    never 
    met." 

    "We've 
    both 
    known heartache, 

    disappointment 
    and 
    the pain 
    of regret." 

    "The full 
    weight 
    of sadness, 

    love 
    and it's 
    cost, 

    and 
    without 
    love, 
    a soul 
    is nothing, 

    but empty 
    and lost." 

    "And I've come 
    to tell 
    you, 

    to go 
    on 
    now 
    and 
    be brave." 

    "You 
    can 
    live again." 

    "You know 
    it's her 
    love 
    that you 
    crave." 

    "Go 
    find 
    the one 
    you 
    left behind, 

    hold 
    her, 
    take 
    her 
    by the 
    hand." 

    "Show 
    her 
    how much 
    you 
    need her, 

    believe 
    she'll 
    understand." 

    "Now son 
    you take 
    a look 
    at this ground, 

    it's filled 
    with things 
    unsaid." 

    "There's 
    a world 
    of good 
    intentions 

    here 
    in 
    the land 
    of the 
    dead." 

    "And 
    friend 
    I'm here 
    to tell 
    ya, 
    on 
    this 
    very 
    night, 

    I was 
    sent 
    by your 
    Maker, 
    the 
    giver 
    of life, 
    to tell 
    you 
    there's 
    rest 

    for 
    your soul." 

    "There's 
    peace 
    and relief, 

    if you'll 
    just surrender 
    your burdens." 

    "Lay 
    them 
    at God's 
    feet." 

    "Walk 
    out of 
    this place." 

    "Go 
    now 
    and live 
    in the 
    light 

    of a pure 
    perfect 
    presence, 

    that 
    loves 
    and forgives." 

    He 
    wore 
    a long 
    purple 
    coat, 

    covered 
    in 
    wheels 

    Red 
    leather 
    boots, 
    with 
    sparkling 
    heels 

    On a 
    dark 
    stormy 
    night, 

    lost 
    soul 
    was 
    saved

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
