Part the Waters...
During a recent time of intense emotion and struggle, I reached out to my sister to commiserate with me.
NOTE: My sister is Charlotte Mills, wife of Rev. Michael Mills, writer extraordinaire, mother of 3, grandmother to 107, and my only 'blood' sister. She is the author of mysonginthemorning.blogspot.com, has been published numerous times and I love her dearly...
(OK, my ADD kicked in for a second...)
I'm having a crisis and I reach out to my sister who is feeling inadequate to give me a profound word to ease my pain, but she offers the lyrics to a song I'd forgotten...
(I've included at the end of the lyrics, a youtube.com link to song as originally sung by Evie for those of you that may never have heard.)
Perhaps it'll speak to you in your crisis as it did to me in mine.
God bless, stay COOL!
Part the Waters
- When I think I'm goin' under, part the waters Lord
- When I feel the waves around me, calm the sea
- When I cry for help, oh, hear me Lord and hold out Your hand
- Touch my life, and still the raging storm in me
- Verse:
- Knowing You love me, through the burdens I must bear
- Hearing Your footsteps, lets me know I'm in Your care
- And in the night of my life, You bring the promise of day
- Here is my hand, show me the way
- When I think I'm goin' under, part the waters Lord
- When I feel the waves around me, calm the sea
- When I cry for help, oh, hear me Lord and hold out Your hand
- Touch my life, and still the raging storm in me
- Verse:
- Knowing You love me, helps me face another day
- Hearing Your footsteps, drives the clouds and fears away
- And in the tears of my life, I see the sorrow You bore
- Here is my pain, heal it once more.....
- When I think I'm goin' under, part the waters Lord
- When I feel the waves around me, calm the sea
- When I cry for help, oh, hear me Lord and hold out Your hand
- Touch my life, and still the raging storm in me
- Touch my life, still the raging storm in me...
- May you know the peace in the midst of your storm today.
- Love y'all...
