I figure i tell myself every week to sleep earlier on Saturday nights, but i'm up at 3am again. While everyone is seriously fermenting on their journals, (not that i ain't) but there are so many other things pre-occupying my mind.
I like Chris Tomlin's latest CD. I remember that as a child i used to love the song Amazing grace. Why? hmm, i can't really tell you why, could be the words, could be the tune. Along the way of growing up, hymns gave way to Hillsongs and the like. Now, it's not the tune anymore, its the words, hymns or planetshakers alike.
Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now I'm found Was blind, but now I see' Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed My chains are gone I've been set free My God, my Savior has ransomed me And like a flood His mercy rains Unending love, Amazing grace The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures The earth shall soon dissolve like snow The sun forbear to shine But God, Who called me here below Will be forever mine Will be forever mine You are forever mine

Although the fig tree shall not blossom
neither shall fruit be in the vines;
the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat;
the flock shall be cut off from the fold,
and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
Habakkuk 3:17-18
This lullaby is only a few words
A simple run of chords
Quiet here in this spare room
But you can hear it, hear it
Wherever you may go
I will let you down
But this lullaby plays on
