We Anticipate The Day

We Anticipate the Day
By:  Mark Brydges

To the precious soul we will someday know
We would have loved to see you grow
Following the weeks and months to the day
When you entered this world without delay
O' what a joyous time this would have been
But our God allowed your life within
To rise in Heaven
To be with him

You have bypassed this life of strife and worry
You have seen God's face in all his glory
How can we be sad as we know his love
Will guide your life in the realm above

Dear precious soul
What a blessing you are
And we will always remember you near or far
A day is coming sooner than we know
When we will be united in Heaven's continuous glow
For our God promises to those He loves
A wonderful reunion with those above
So we celebrate your life and anticipate the day
When we meet face to face in Heaven
And there forever we will stay


I read this and thought it was beautiful so I wanted to share.

He Never Lets Go of Me

I was driving home and was listening to KLOVE.  "You Never Let Go" by Matt Redmond was playing.  This is one of my favorite songs.  I have heard the song several times before but, this time hearing those words in the chorus sent tears running down my cheeks.  There have been times during the past couple of years that I have turned away from God but, he has NEVER let go of me.  He has always been with me.  Below is the chorus of the song:

Oh no, You never let go


Through the calm and through the storm


Oh no, You never let go


In every high and every low


Oh no, You never let go


Lord, You never let go of me

YOU NEVER LET GO LYRICS - MATT REDMAN


“Search me and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and LEAD ME in the way everlasting,” (Psalm 139: 23-24.)
