Am home, ill, rugged up and typing away to keep my head occupied as my body refuses to function properly!(What I wouldn't give for some episodes of Buffy right now!)
I had the greatest privelege to be part of our church thanksgiving service on Sunday.
It was amazing to have all the people from different congregations together to celebrate and reflect on the year. To hear everyone's voices raised in song and to realise just how many things there are to be thankful for.
I am often amazed at how God has provided and all of it in His grace - not because I ever deserved it. Sounds cliched - I know - but there are times when it just hits you...y'know?
As most of you know I have written a few songs. I've also written lyrics for songs not yet composed...
This is one I wrote the lyrics for ages ago. I seem to be having problems with the music side of it but here are the words (or at least two verses I'm still working on the third). Maybe one day I'll be able to get the music right!
It was not by elegant words or speech
That I was won to Christ.
The boldest attempt to save myself,
So weak it would never suffice.
And in that hour of greatest need,
The Lord had mercy on me,
My heart was turned up to praise God,
My soul had been set free.
Helpless prisoner; willing villain
Was I who disobeyed.
But saved to live a life for Christ
And willingly be His slave.
So great the love and sacrifice
That brought me close to Him.
None but the maker of all the world
Could awake my soul within.

Just thought i'd drop a couple of words to say that we, the faithful, are still reading this. Even though i have nothing insightful to comment.
