alright so i missed a day...
remember...
nobody is perfect...
but before the noose is slung from the tree..
WAIT!!!
i'm doing 2...
that's right 2!!
blog posts to make up for everyone.
~~~insert applause now~~~
so for december 5th...
i have to say
i know that every song i talk about
i say is my favorite one...
but this one has a special place
near and dear in my heart.
it is
BREATH OF HEAVEN
(Mary's Song).
i think it is such a tender song.
i've always felt the words of this song
have spoken to me.
but, it particularly felt near and dear
to my heart last year when i was actually
pregnant with a little boy, and then
i really felt the words.
but there has always been
a particular part in that song that has always
gotten to me...
Do you wonder
As you watch my face
If a wiser one,
Should of had my place
But I offer - all I am
For the mercy - of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me
by the time i get to the last bit of this part
i usually am crying.
every...
single...
time.
this part reminds me i think
of a prayer i seem to often mutter.
why me?
can i handle the challenges of life
that are thrown before me?
am i strong enough?
shouldn't you have given this test to
someone who would better be able to handle it?
i know that this is your plan...
to help me be stronger.
to help me grow closer to you...
to help me return home to you.
and i would do anything for you
even though it totally sucks!
but can you help me be strong?
well can you just
help me?
please? help me?
help...
i can listen to this song over and over
again.
and every single time i do
i cry.
and i will continue to cry.
because sometimes
pleas for help
seem prettier
when set to music.
so here's to my favorite christmas song...
i hope you get something as wonderful
from it as i do.
ps...it also makes me cry everytime i see it set to the nativity story.
ok this is such a good
song and meaning
i'm going to count this towards 2 days.
