Music to help you pray and worship

We have prepared a YouTube playlist of songs which will inspire you throughout your time at today’s Life Chain. (We recommend that you listen to the music but not watch the videos, because that may be a distraction.)

We apologize for the ads (inserted by YouTube) — skip them if you can.
