A Song I'll Always Love

The last few days I have had a song on my mind and it doesn't seem to want to go away. I have loved the song as long as I can remember, and have always wanted it to be my "way of life", but it seems lately that I have felt I wanted it more than ever. "Listen" to the words....

I've been on the mountain with Jesus.
I've been in the valley so low.
But, not one time has He failed me,
When to Him with my burdens I go.

So, let me walk with you Jesus.
Don't ever leave me alone.
For without You I could never.
No, never make Heaven my home.

You found me when I was so lonely.
You found me when I was so blue.
You found me when no one could help me,
And I didn't know just what to do.

So, let me walk with you Jesus....

I never want to walk the road of life without Him by my side! I have lived enough life to know that I could NEVER make it without Him.

If you're finding it difficult to walk through the valley, or it's getting difficult to climb the mountain in front of you...stop, enjoy the beauty that surrounds you, take a deep breath, look around and find where HE might be standing, then reach out and take His hand for He will help you to keep walking. Jesus will never leave you alone. He will never walk so far ahead of you that you cannot see Him if you stop and look around.

Whoever might be feeling that you're all alone...let me tell you that you're never alone! You'll feel better if you'll start singing. So, I'm inviting you to sing with me....

So, let me walk with you Jesus.
Don't ever leave me alone.
For without you I could never.
No, never make Heaven my home.

Don't you feel better now?

Dreams

I was awakened this morning by a dream. We had gone to eat and my order was all wrong, and in the midst of trying to get it "figured out" with the owner I finally said to myself, "it's not worth it, just forget it".

We were having some big gathering, I think camp meeting. As I walked from the "eating place" back to where my husband was I noticed a large group of people gathered out under the stars. As I walked, it dawned on me that I had forgotten that I was to lead a "prayer service/devotion" for the ladies the next day. Oh my! I got in a "tizzy" real fast!!! "What am I going to say?" QUESTIONS started attacking my mind and just as I was getting all "up in the air" over it I heard a man say, "Look at the stars out there! Isn't the sky beautiful tonight?" Seeing the twinkling stars and how they lit up the black sky of night, immediately I started singing, "And I thank God for the Lighthouse. I owe my life to Him. For Jesus is the lighthouse, and from the rocks of sin...". As I sang, I heard as the "old gentleman" started harmonizing with me, then others joined in as we sang..."He has shown a light around me that I could clearly see. If it wasn't for the Lighthouse...where would this ship be?"

I then noticed an old friend of my parents sitting not too far from me, and as she wiped her eyes from "remembering the loss of my parents" I kept singing..."Everybody that lives around us, says to tear the Lighthouse down. The old ships they don't sail this way anymore, there's no use in them standing 'round. But then, my mind goes back to that stormy night when just in time I saw the light, it was the light from that old Lighthouse that stands out there on the hill."

I woke up! WOW! I have chills as I remember the feeling I had as I dreamed, and as I type I still feel the presence of the Lighthouse.

A "dark night", old friends, new friends...the "stars" who light the night, and the One who gives the "song"! What more could one ask for? Today...remember the "Old Lighthouse", and a friend. There is nothing more urgent than stopping to remember those you love and the One that loves you!

I thank God for the Lighthouse...I owe my life to Him!
