OK day today but I think tomorrow’s blood test just might
show I’m down a pint or two in the red cell department – we’ll see.
Today’s highlight was watching and listening to a video of
my daughter Amanda sing a favorite Chris Rice tune that captures a relationship
with Jesus in and finds hope and joy in the circumstances of life. If you’re Facebook friend we’ve reposted
it. I don’t know how she made it through
to the end (I somehow did with another song I sang at her wedding) but we’re
honored by it and rejoice to see God at work in the lives of our children. Here’s the lyrics:
Weak and wounded
sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for
love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and
live!
Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has
washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and
live!
And like a newborn
baby
Don't be afraid to
crawl
And remember when you
walk
Sometimes we
fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and
live!
Sometimes the way is
lonely
And steep and filled with
pain
So if your sky is dark and
pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and
live!
O, and when the love spills
over
And music fills the
night
And when you can't contain
your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and
live!
And with your final
heartbeat
Kiss the world
goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh
on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!
Thank you
Amanda.

How sweet that song is. I'm always caught by some part of it, depending on where my head is at when I hear it. Can't wait to laugh on Glory's side!
Off to your page to hear Amanda sing it. She may have made it through with dry eyes, but I won't!
Much love to you all.
We listened to it again-no dry eyes and our hearts are full! ~Diane
I can't find it on your page or on Amanda's. ??
I just sent it in a private message- hope that works Jenn
That song is amazing...it was one of Nina's favorites...we listened to it often.
Praying always.
Great words.
The Cohorts have been singing some of your songs from the past lately. "Ancient Words" just isn't the same without you reading scripture during the instrumentals, but the lyrics from "Still" seem spot on..
"When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
And I will be still and know you are God"
Can't wait to sing them with you again!
