Lately when i've been thinking music - i've been thinking Jesus' name.
i've found my prayers end at the first word... "Jesus..."
He knows my heart & i know that what i can't put into words, the Holy Spirit will fill in for me.
This morning, during our worship time, we did our usual kids songs - (i'd love to do a 'this is how we do it' post on that... it's fast becoming my favourite part of homeschool...) & then i taught them one i remembered from highschool...
i don't know who wrote it - but it spoke to me back then & i remembered it years later & tried to write it down as best as i could. (If anyone knows this song lemme know where it came from & if i'm doing it wrong :)
i am yours
You are mine
i am the cup,
pour out your wine
i am a candle, Lord,
You make me shine
i am yours
You are mine.
We sang it through a couple of times & then i stopped & asked them - of what use would a candle or a cup be if there were no flame to light the candle, or liquid to fill the cup?
& it washed over me again.
Jesus is everything.
o how i love Jesus
o how i love Jesus
o how i love Jesus
because He first loved me.

Worship is my favourite time with the kids too. I'm hoping that it becomes one of many shining childhood memories. Somedays it's more for me as I try to explain the meaning behind a chorus or hymn that has always meant so much and like you say, it all floods back on me. Other times i can tell that it's just soaking in to them and that's when JOY explodes. :)--j
