Song

SO Folks it's late and i have this song stuck in my head but i can't find it on youtube... well i can't find it with all the verses. i believe it is wayne watson's colored ponnies but i can't find it with this verse

dressin up in her momma's pearls or maybe swingin round in her daddy's arms/and i don't even know her name but i'm prayin for her just the same/ that the Lord will write His name upon her heart/cause somewhere in the course of this life my little boy will need a godly wife/so hold onto Jesus baby where ever you are.

yep. it's driving me nuts!

okay i got it. it is wayne watson but it's called somewhere in the world tonight

a walk, a memory, a yesteryear

     Have you ever found a place so familiar yet so forgotten to you that it's like taking a step back in time and the memories come flooding back?
     I found that place for me this wkend. I'm a my Ma's house out in the country and whilst our movie was intereuped by a caller I slipped out back to check out that old swing that I use to visit so often. Running down the now grassy path, down the sloping yard, skipping over roots and ducking under new low hanging branches, down to the swing set built by my Dad between two old pine trees hanging from a 2x4 bolted tween the two - built to last many a gandchild. An old tire rubber seat and a plank of wood have now been long replaced by two plastic seats and the old rusty chains have danced their last for now new shiney silver chain hang and only in arms reach yellow rubbery chain covers to protect one's hands from blisters. bahahaha! oh my hand use to be covered in blisters and calused so! But is it funny?
     With a smile I sit and think to myself - Yeah, good thing for this new stuff it won't hurt so bad.
But as I sit one memory after another seemed to float by but then No! Can it be? Am I really that little girl? My hands are soft now, can't you see? I'm in a dream! I must be. I remember that sky, these outlines like that image in the mirror, I know those fears, the dreams, the dares of a little frighten girl. Is it okay to go back inside yet? I don't want to ...but - the past is past a new time has come. Yes, little girl, I still remember the hurts and confusion, the wants and desires, the prayers the tears, yeah, I remember. But the God that you prayed to, the God that has loved you in these last years is the same God who protected you and gave you those prayers to begin with. He was watching over you all this time. You still have far to go but you still have hope and it's even bigger now. You have a new family in Christ. God is your loving Daddy. Those nights were deep, dark and tragic, but joy comes in the morning. There's more to life in Christ then everything you ever dreamed, more to dreams then you know, more to friends and the Bible and church then you ever thought or could imagine and it all starts with Jesus. It all starts with this big God who loves you. Who really loves you, and always has. Even on the darkest most painful days, God loves ...

and puts the lonely in families.

it's a goupy mushy lovey dovey night

life has it's ups and downs, it's crazy and trying days. life doesn't ask you what you think of it! i guess it sounds like i think life is a being thing that just goes on and on the way it decides. but  i've found it doesn't really matter how i think there's Truth that stays no matter what i'm feeling or think about. Truth be told there's a Maker and He writes these stories of life but i'm not just a puppet on His string. He's mine and i'm His! we have secrets that no one else gets. He has stories on me that would make you laugh, make you cry. ooooh-ooh-oh! i have stories of His love for me that make me cry, that would make you smile. mmmmm-mm-mm-mmmmm! He's just my wonderful, darling Savior, Hero, and friend. I learn new things week by week that make me weep, He's so wonder-doubly-fully to me! i'm His and His mine! and there's songs that make me fall more in love with Him. ...i didn't mean to so sounds so goupy mushy lovey dovey tonight. but i'm sorry it's just when i start adoring my sweet Jesus it all comes a tumbling out and Jesus loves me passionately-ee-ee-ee-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! could i fall more deeply in love with someone else dear Lord - maybe but maybe not - could i ever find someone so amazing that i'd never want to live without - maybe but probably not - mmmmmm! there's sweet things, sweet things that ought never be lived without and oh-oh-oh! my Jesus Lord is one of those things. mmmm-mm!

in a moment of joy and wishing i could rhyme ...

life is a ball
dreams are good things in my future
all my scheming and all my ways in the Lord!
life goes on, just like the rain that falls
just like a memory that comes and goes
ooooooooooooooh life is a sweet, sweet gift
from a Lover of living things
i don't know why sometime tragedy strikes
but i'm sure it doesn't go unseen
by my King
but i am sure days will come again
when i don't want to get out'a bed
but still so sure
that in the end i am safe in my Savior King
He will never let me go!
oh oh oh no.
na-na-no. no. no! He won't let go.

life is a ball
and i can't tell you all
the wonders i have seen
or healing i've held in my view in the world around me
oh, oh, oh! it's been a grand old thing to see,
and it's happening to me
it can be for you, yeah, you too
healing can come for you
