Are you still complaining? Check out Leonise, 21, touching story (Video)





Leonise is 21. She is blind and lives in abject poverty with 11 family members in this shack in Haiti, one of the poorest nations on earth. They have no kitchen, no bathroom and no running water. But you know something? She is not even complaining. She is singing songs of gratitude. That said, her song has gone viral and journalists are already making moves to assist her and other Haitians wrecked by poverty. Her voice has captured the world and I am impressed with her courage in the face of overwhelming challenges.
Watch video when you continue after the break.

For the curious, here's the translation of her song in English: When I remember where I was, Christ washed me, He gave me life. He took away all that was bad in me, He gave me life. Today, this day, I will sing to give Him glory. I was lost, I was lost and He found me. I was dead and Jesus raised me again. Today, this day, I will sing to give Him glory. I will say thanks for all that He has done for me. Jesus gave me a mission, I will fight to achieve my mission. You would not have recognized me, I was lost and He found me. I was dead and He raised me again. Today, this day, I will sing to give Him Glory. I will say thanks for all He has done for me. I will give Him glory, I will give Him Glory, I will give Him glory. I will say thanks, I will say thanks, I will say thanks.
