gospel hour

call me an old fart, but i LOVE the gaithers.

tonight i came home from a fabulous weekend in new jersey... i sat down to relax after my drive and came across a gospel hour, which concluded with the song i am about to post the lyrics and video. the tune is to "be still my soul", but the lyrics have been changed. i was sitting in my parents tv room, in tears as i listened to the music and words of this song. give the 5 minutes of your time it will take to listen to this amazing piece. the words truly stir the soul.


I then shall live as one who's been forgiven
I'll walk with joy to know my debts are paid
I know my name is clear before my Father
I am His child and I am not afraid
So greatly pardoned, I'll forgive my brother
The law of love I gladly will obey

I then shall live as one who's learned compassion
I've been so loved I'll risk loving, too
I know how fear builds walls instead of bridges
I'll dare to see another's point of view
And when relationships demand commitment
Then I'll be there to care and follow through

Your kingdom come around and through and in me
Your power and glory let them shine through me
Your Hallowed name, oh may I bear with honor
And may Your living Kingdom come in me
The Bread of Life, O' may I share with honor
And may You feed a hungry world through me
