I have a very faithful friend who wakes up every morning with a praise song in her head. Not only that but the song is usually an answer to a prayer. I envy her. I wake up every morning with a song in my head, too. Usually a praise song but not always. Sometimes I wake up with songs like ‘Why Do You Drink’ by Hank Williams Jr. That was the morning my son turned to me and said ‘Better get that one out of your head before you go to work’. Had something to do with me working at a preschool.
The other day I heard a song that would be exactly the words I would want to leave my children with when I die. I think about that often. Not dying but what words I would want them remember after I was gone. The song brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it because it is exactly the words I would want them to always remember. It’s called ‘The Words I Would Say’ by the Sidewalk Prophets. Below are some of the lyrics:
Be strong in the Lord
And never give up hope.
You're gonna do great things
I already know.
God's got His hand on You
So don't live life in fear.
Forgive and forget
But don't forget why you're here.
Take your time and pray
And thank God for each day.
His love will find a way
These are the words I would say.
You can listen to the entire song below – enjoy!
Love that song!
