This past week I was searching for a song to use in church this Sunday.  
The message comes from Matt. 5:13-16, so “salt of the earth” and 
“light of the world” are important elements, obviously.

An internet search brought me to your song on the New Hope 
Music website.  I was unfamiliar with it, but I wanted something 
like it for congregational singing, and it fit perfectly with the message.

Anyway, I was able to build an accompaniment and  we plan to use it 
in the service tomorrow. 
(Dan Mortenson, from South Dakota)
