You'll always be my baby...


I don't listen to alot of country music anymore, but this song really spoke to me.... You can find a video of it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDim9gD_pVA.

You'll Always Be My Baby
Artist: Sara Evans
Album: Real Fine Place

There I was ten years old
waiting in my room for him to come home
I just knew he'd be so mad
though I begged my mother not to, she told my dad.
There was no denying I let him down
but instead of being angry
he put his arms around me and said

In the sunlight or the rain, brightest nights or darkest days
I'll always feel the same way
whatever road you may be on
know your never too far gone
my love is there wherever you may be
just remember that you will always be my baby.

There I was twenty one
oh I was so ashamed of what I'd done
on a country roadparked one night
it started out so innocent
then crossed the line
there was no denying I let God down
but instead of being angry
He wrapped His arms around me and I heard

In the sunlight or the rain, brightest nights or darkest days
I'll always feel the same way
whatever road you may be on
know your never too far gone
my love is there wherever you may be
just remember that you will always be my baby - yeah.

There he is my little man
I'm sure he'll get in trouble every now and then
and I pray to god that when he does
I'll be just as understanding as my father was
oh the last thing that I want to do is let him down
so instead of being angry
I'm gonna throw my arms around him and I'll say

In the sunlight or the rain brightest nights or darkest days
I'll always feel the same way
whatever road you may be on
know you’re never too far gone
my love is there wherever you may be
just remember that you will always be my baby.

In Our Father's Eyes....



If we can only learn to see...

In Our Father's Eyes

My Life
Seemingly Invisible
Mostly Complicated
Often Feeling Insignificant

And Yet
Knowing Somehow
Deep Inside
I Am Much More

Clearly Now
Becoming Aware
Truly Made
For His Good Pleasure

For Me
All About
My Heavenly Father
Who Loves Me So

For Him
All About Me
He Tells Me
I Am His Favorite

Love Is The Depth of Acceptance
Peace Is The Depth of Abundance
Joy Is The Depth of Freedom
And In Him, I Find Myself

Complete & Whole
Without Blemish
Without Need
No Longer Judged or Needing to Judge

I Spot Him In You
Such Love In Your Eyes
You, As I,
Have Our Father's Eyes

In Daddy's Arms



In Daddy's Arms

How long, Lord?
How long must this continue?
How long must I feel this way? So alone, so pressed...
How long must I endure? Such sorrow, such hopelessness...

A little longer?
But, how much longer?
Rest? How can I...
Oh, You will carry me?

Hold me in Your arms, Daddy, close to Your heart
Let my head rest on Your breast
That I may hear the beat of Your heart
And move in rhythm to Your Spirit

So safe
So secure, in Your arms
Such warmth
Such love, I am transformed!

Swing me, Daddy!
Do it again!
Whirl me around in Your arms of Love
I feel like I am flying - flying in Your Love

So far above my worries and fears
High in the air
Out of reach of all that seek to harm me
Or drag me back down

My whole heart trusts You
We are one at the heart
You have given Your heart to me
And I am Yours

Fly me again, Daddy
In Your strong, loving arms
How I need this time with You
I want to be just like You
