Italian singer Andrea Bocelli performed a beautiful rendition of “Amazing Grace” at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. The event hosted several attendees such as President Joe Biden and several dozen members of Congress. “The ceremony featured numerous prayers, including one that Tennessee Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn and New York Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand delivered specifically for President Joe Biden,” the Louisiana Illuminator reported. Bocelli’s rendition of “Amazing Grace” was so touching that is brought President Biden and U.S. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson to tears. Johnson shared a scripture from Psalm 37. “Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong, for like the grass, they will soon wither, like green plants, they will soon die away,” Johnson said. “Trust in the Lord and do good.”
