Sing it again


Our recent days in Phoenix were filled with much music. Barb's Mom, (now 98), could sing along for hours as Barb played the piano for her. (For many years she sang for the Saturday morning radio programs in Cleveland.) It's a musical family.

I'll have to admit that I am touched by some of the old songs. They often trigger memories of days gone by; of family, friends and special moments. For the past few days one old hymn in particular has been running through my brain, especially as I was waking up. "Because he lives I can face tomorrow,
Because he lives all fear is gone,
Because I know he holds the future,
And life is worth the living, just because he lives."
Almost like Scripture, our worship hymns often bring a message that keeps on
singing within. The heart draws on them again and again as needed, chasing
away doubt and fear....Because he lives!
