Proud Father

There are some moments that my daughter makes me so proud of her that I think I could bust. This evening (Easter 2010) Shelby wrote lyrics for a song. I'm not sure how many songs she has written so far, but this is the first one that she has shared with me. After supper, she sat down at the laptop and began typing away, she proceeded to print a couple of copies off and then handed them to her mommy and me. I read the words and they melted my heart and I'm sure the heart of her Father...

God's love for me

God's love for me is like a flaming fire.
God's love for me is like a roaring ocean.
That's his love for me. That's his love for me.
He protects me from evil. He takes me to
heaven just for believing in Him. Oh,
God's love for me is like a flaming fire.
God's love for me is like a roaring ocean.
That's God's love for me. That's God's
love for me. Almighty God died on a
simple cross not covered in gold or silver.
Just for sinners. Just think an almighty God
died for a sinner like you and me. Oh, God
rescue me. I want to find you. I want to
seek you. I want to see your face oh Lord.
I love you so creator of heaven and earth.
All of evil only you can save me from. I
will devote all my time to you. All of earth
is frightened at the sound of all of your
words. At even the sight of you. This is
God's love for you.
