Wow... its been almost a year since I posted. I've discovered that if I don't do it right when the inspiration hits, no matter how much else is happening, it doesn't happen. Well, the current inspiration is that of two songs by Keith and Kristyn Getty that have meant a lot to me recently. I wonder if its possible to attach MP3s here? Hmm, not that I can figure out. If anyone knows how, I'd love to learn!

Don't Let Me Lose My Wonder

I've seen days melt into nights in circles of lights,
I've watched a spider spin a star between the window box flowers,
I've heard you laugh and cry in a single sigh, and a story form within.

Don't let me lose my wonder.
Don't let me lose my wonder.

I saw her broken dreams inside but helping others fly,
I saw his eyes without a doubt though other lights faded out,
And though her calling roared such graciousness flowed
From the vision of her soul.

A baby cried through the dark beneath a jeweled spark,
I knew Your voice upon the hill and heard my lostness still,
I found my home in the light where wrong was made right
And You rose like the morning star.

Ah, the one below exists on youtube, although the recording on the "In Christ Alone" CD is better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fodnd3fE4mQ

Jesus Draw Me Ever Nearer

Jesus draw me ever nearer

As I labour through the storm.
You have called me to this passage,
and I'll follow, though I'm worn.

May this journey bring a blessing,
May I rise on wings of faith;
And at the end of my heart's testing,
With Your likeness let me wake.

Jesus guide me through the tempest;
Keep my spirit staid and sure.
When the midnight meets the morning,
Let me love You even more.

Let the treasures of the trial
Form within me as I go -
And at the end of this long passage,
Let me leave them at Your throne.

Keith and Kristyn Getty are also the authors of "In Christ Alone" and countless other beautiful and faith-building songs which I highly recommend.

Blessings,

Rachel
