Thursdays Before the Throne

Since Ana was a baby, each night, she has listened to this CD:

When we were preparing for Ruth's visit trip, on a whim, I recorded some of it on tape, as we were bringing a tape recorder/tapes w/ our voices on them.

I know our foster mother played it for her, & I'm assuming for Natty as well, as right away, the music seemed to soothe him.

Right now, I am holding a sick baby boy (yes, again, the day after his antibiotic was gone) on my chest, while the music plays on the laptop.

Typical, for Michael Card, though, the lyrics are far from childish.

"Let me tell you of a man

Who was before the world began

Who loves you more than anyone can

Known by the name of Jesus

He was born a babe like you

And every word He spoke is true

I pray you'll come to know Him too

And live your life for Jesus

If He could cause the storm to clear,

He'll calm the tempest of your tears

If He could cause the dead to rise

At dawn He'll open up your eyes

So rest your weary head tonight

And dream of Him who is the Life

And wake up to His world of light

And sing the name of Jesus."

The Bible makes it clear in John 1, that Jesus has always exsisted.

Throughout the book of John, as well as in 3rd John, toward the end of God's Word, His love for mankind is made perfectly clear.

"Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life.

No one comes to the Father except through Me.' "

John 14:6

Clearly, Jesus is claiming to be TRUTH.

He, Himself has calmed the tempests of our tears in our lives, over & over again.

Our prayer for for each of our children, is that as adults, they will gratefully sing the praises of Jesus.

If you have kids, may I suggest RUN, don't WALK to get your hands on a copy of this CD!

Natty, sleeping to the music of this priceless CD!
