Quote a song lyric that sums up your year
§ Who am I? That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name, would care to feel my hurt,
Who am I? That the Bright and Morning Star,
Would choose to light the way, for my ever wandering heart,
Not because of who I am, but because of what You've done,
Not because of what I've done, but because of
who You are,
Rate the year 2006 in a scale of 10.
§ 8.0
