I don't know why, but this morning I awoke and the song I wrote came to
my mind and stayed there. In 1989 I put the above words to the hymn
"Jesus Loves Me" and a couple of years ago Alan Mullins put into music
notation. So, this morning, I thought I would share it with you. I
recorded an mp3 and uploaded it to picosong.com. Now, I really don't
have much of a singing voice any more, but if you feel brave, click on
the download link above to hear it. Needless to say, I was thinking of
the following passage when I wrote this song for my oldest
granddaughter...
Matthew, Chapter 19
13 Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.” 15 He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.
How time passes, in about a month, Amanda will be 24 years old. I pray
for her on a regular basis and pray that some day she will follow
Jesus. Love has changed my life; from the love of my wife, continuing
to my children and now grandchildren, my life grows richer by the day...
and oh, yes- and now there are dogs as well!!! What next, great
grandchildren?
Today, if you have the chance, tell someone you love how you feel about them; you will be glad you did!!!!
Your Friend,
Gary
