Part the Waters


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...
