Song Challenge

Currently, I play piano for my church.  At times, though, I often feel handicapped because I play by "ear," meaning I do not read music, having never had a formal music lesson.  If I know a song, then I can play it.  Yes, I realize that this is a gift from God, one which I truly treasure.

Throughout this year, my challenge to myself is to learn songs I do not know.  So here goes...
