P:C - Familiar Songs Touching Hearts

I was in the group that visited the nursing homes every day. We had learned several church songs in German, but Sophie also taught us some German Volkslieder. I can remember at every home we went to the people enjoyed the English songs and the hymns that we sang in German, but when we sang the Volksleider, no matter where we sang, even the people in various stages of dementia lit up. Some even sang along with us. It was extremely touching to see how even my poor attempts at German could bless someone else through something as simple as a little song.
