You can tell that Mrs. Obama doesn't care for the song by the way her actions (body movements) show... Crossed arms is a sign of stand offish or on the defensive. Oh well the singer was awsome..
You can tell no such thing. You can assume that from his posture many things, that doesn’t make it true. In running the country there has to be much to deliberate. He is composed for whatever reason, we don’t know what he woke up to and what he knows he has to face when leaving, but one can only speculate. His demeanor is one that is scrutinized from more aspects than any other President.

Seekers:** And it Shall Come to Pass, that Whosoever Shall Call on the Name of the Lord Shall be Saved! (Sozo Also Means to be Rescued, Delivered, Forgiven, Cured, Healed, Made Whole!) *Acts 2:21
Seekers Prayer:** Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God; and Renew a Right spirit within Me?
Wash me Thoroughly from my Iniquity, and Cleanse Me from My sin? Psalm 51
As amazing grace was sung, and the word was read from, and the new president was praised, the rules on abortion were quietly rolled back 30 min after taking his oath . No justice for the silent cries of the unbourn.
Let me preface my comment with the fact that this was an AMAZING performance ... great arrangement and awe-inspiring vocals. I got chills listening to it and thank you to the OP for posting it.
But I have to ask a question ... is this a prayer service or the finale to a Broadway musical?
Anyway, Wintley Phipps is his name. He's incredible. Phipps hums the beginning as a tribute to what he believes inspired John Newton to write the song. Newton was the captain of a slave ship back in 18th century, and Phipps' humming is reflective of the melodic moans Newton would have heard coming from the slaves beneath the ship deck. As such, Amazing Grace is the most popular white spiritual, written in the "slave scale" - the Pentatonic Scale. Truly Amazing
FANTASTIC!

thanks for posting this! my wife compared the singer to Robeson--not quite, but he's good. one verse I'd never heard before. it sounded like
when weve been dead ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun
we even know the space
to stay in Gods grace
as when we first begun
(?)

He sings this as the last verse:
When we've been here ten thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.
Then Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen.
