regrets
And if I bend and if I break I'll trust the hands that hold me are greater than all my regrets
as long as I know how to love
I heard this song on the way home from church. Yes, I have heard it before but the lyrics really struck me today. A witness to the truth and an echo of what has been going on inside me.
“As long as I know how to love I know I’ll stay alive”!!!!
life goes on
Last night was the last Bible Study for this term. I have mixed feelings about it. The night before I had another meeting. Both ended up being more stressful than I had thought – my fault not the meetings. I have a full day of meetings some of which I have no desire for. So I did not sleep well and I have woken with a headache (a by-product of the medication I am on).
I woke thinking about the above song. I was especially thinking about the line, “life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone”. In my 50s I am forced to completely restart. I have literally come back to my teenage years sleeping in the same bed, working in the same room, living in the same house. And I am not sure I can do it again!!!
Anyway, life goes on!
the queen and the soldier
I am pretty sure I have shared this before. The song was a part of my growing up and I still feel emotional when I hear it. So, enjoy!
All to Jesus I surrender
All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give
All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give
if it be Your will
If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will
If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
heaven help me …
Everybody’s quoting the Bible
Like it could be truth or lies
And I’m standing on the corner
With the saints and the sinners
Tryin’ to quote Your love
With my life
run to the Father
And I don’t have a context
For that kind of love
I don’t understand
I can’t comprehend
All I know is I need You
my sin, Your love.
You didn’t want heaven without us
So Jesus, You brought heaven down
My sin was great, Your love was greater
What could separate us now?
Maybe this song has been overdone a little. But I was really struck tonight by the above words. Yes, Jesus did not want eternity without me and even if my sin is great, Jesus’ love is much bigger.
