Sweet Words

It has been a very stressful, sad, and happy week for many of us. My moods go up and down with all the different things I hear about family and friends, and for other reasons. There has been many tears shed in this house, happy and sad ones. All I can do is keep praying for those who are still very sick. But I am dreading "THAT" phone call.


I thought I would share one of my favorite songs and also a very favorite Bible Story.

Canaan Bond
Sarah, take me by my arm
Tomorrow we are Canaan bound
Where westward sails the golden sun
And Hebron's hills are amber crowned

So bid your troubled heart be still
The grass, they say, is soft and green
The trees are tall and honey-filled
So, Sarah, come and walk with me

Like the stars across the heavens flung
Like water in the desert sprung
Like the grains of sand, our many sons
Oh, Sarah, fair and barren one
Come to Canaan, come

I trembled at the voice of God
A voice of love and thunder deep
With love He means to save us all
And Love has chosen you and me

Long after we are dead and gone
A thousand years our tale be sung
How faith compelled and bore us on
How barren Sarah bore a son
So come to Canaan, come

Where westward sails the golden sun
And Hebron's hills are amber crowned
Oh, Sarah, take me by my arm
Tomorrow we are Canaan bound

I remember when you played this for me in your room. You were just belting it out and enjoying every minute of it. You didn't care if the Pope himself were in the room. It was so funny and sweet. :) I miss you and all of our crazy ass times we had! I'm sure there will be in the future. Love you. I'm marking this blog so I can come back and keep up to date with what's going on in your life!
