I believe that music and song is one of the languages of God and He speaks to us through it as much as we do to Him. I love the idea that God gave me this song as a message to us from Him!

Oh, I love you, and I won't let you down;
When you sing even angels wanna fly all around!
If you shout or you whisper - what a beautiful sound!
How I love you, how I love you.

Oh, I love you; Come! let us be bride and groom;
At your answer, all the flowers gonna burst into bloom!
All I hear are your footsteps when you walk into the room!
How I love you, how I love you!

Why do you act the same? Why hold onto this pain?
Why do you smile and bear it, though for nobody's gain?
If you trust me, I promise you'll never be the same.
How I love you, how I love you!

As the days pass, and you long for a change,
An escape from this prison, but which you think's outta range,
Don't you know that I'm what's keeping you from going insane?
And that I love you? How I love you!

Don't despair in your sin, let me help take the blame;
All you gotta do when you're in trouble is call on My Name.
Cause You know that I'll answer; I'll get rid of your pain.
How I love you, how I love you!

Are you hurting? Let me help hold you tight.
Cause you know that I love with all of My might,
And if you let me, I'll help get through this dark night.
How I love you, how I love you!

On the Backs of Eagles' WIngs

Flying on the backs of eagles' moonlit wings,
Soaring through the air, my heart wants to sing

Songs of praise, of glory, of honor and love

To You alone, my Savior, my King.

..................................................................

Counting all the stars of heaven's bounty

Wondering at how they fill up the skies.

And if all of them could ever be counted

They would still be part of my Lord's paradise.
...................................................................

What is it about you that shines all around you

And through you? What is it that burns you so deep?

What is this intense love, this undying hope in your soul

Which drags me up from this eternal black hole?

..................................................................

No matter what the people say, no matter what they do,

This is something they can never ever take from you.

No matter where you're coming from, in all of kingdom come

Jesus is what matters when all is said and done.

.................................................................
Come now, Christian soldier fighting on our Lord's side;

Preparing your every weapon hear the battle cry!

Go forth Christian soldier fighting on our Lord's side!

Spread news of His coming; go and testify!

..................................................................

We went to the beach on Father's day.
These are a few of the prizes i was able to bring home

with me, plus some wonderful family memories I will cherish for a long time.

Well, here I am, safely back within the confines of my own home sweet home :)
I'm truly sorry I did not have time to blog all of last week! When I arrived in New York, I quickly discovered that I had no internet connection. I had some truly enjoyable moments while there, though, and that makes it worthwhile for me! I went to my cousin's field trip with her school: a boating trip on the Hudson river! Now, that was awesome. Below is a picture I snapped of a water chestnut my aunt found, the lake next to my grandparent's house, a huge snapping turtle my uncle found, and some of my slightly disoriented aunts, uncle (& dad), and cousins. Aren't God's creations wonderful?
