Hello my long-waiting friends! It's been such a long time between posts I wondered if I would ever return. Today is Easter Sunday and I felt I needed to share this song that has been on my mind all week. I'm not one to reveal too much personally on the net but on this Sunday I think it appropriate. As a follower of Jesus and in celebration of His resurrection I'm posting this youtube clip which i hope you will take a few minutes to listen to amongst the busy-ness of family, chocolate and general sugar highs!
This song was the recessional song at my Mum's funeral. During that time of her illness and death, although incredibly sad and taxing on me and my family, I felt as though I was carried - just like in the footprints poem. My hope is that you realise the love and grace of Jesus Christ that we celebrate at Easter.
day by day and hour by hour your love for me from heaven flows like streams of water in the desert living waters flow you walk beside me gently guiding leading me through every storm everlasting never-changing grace and love divine i am carried in the arms of grace and love divine i am held by hands of healing washed by water pure lifting up my heavy heart held in grace-scarred hands i am carried in the arms of grace and love divine mercy's healing grace relieving every spot and every stain forgiven freely no more worthy love has conquered shame the broken mended night has ended leading me through every storm for i am carried in the arms of grace and love divine never worthy never earning all my works now left behind ever onward ever upward you've called me on to rise above my darkness all my failures every fear and every pain always carried always covered by grace and love divine
(NB: it is not my Mum in the youtube photos but another inspiring lady that battled cancer)
