DIVINE INSPIRATION

ILLUSTRATION: Color photo

JOSEPH JOHN KOTLOWSKI

For his contribution to the National Day of Prayer on Thursday, Gary

Ferebee sings ``Amazing Grace'' in front of Norfolk City Hall.

Ferebee, a brick mason tender, said he has been singing the hymn

since he was 5 and was on his lunch break when he felt lead by God

to perform it. The rendition seemed to inspire the Rev. Clement

Murphy, left, and the crowd that had gathered.
