Let Me Be Singing....

The blog has been a little quiet over the last week. My heart has been so heavy for my new friend who has had to say goodbye to her twins. It has brought back a lot of memories for me. Those first days where my heart felt like it was literally torn apart. The days when I didn't know if I could keep going. The days of walking the unknown with Cohen and fearing that we may not make it home with either of our boys.

I hate that she has to go through this. I hate that she has to question and wonder. I hate that seeing other pregnant people or people with healthy babies brings her pain. I wish I could take it all away from her, but I know that I can't. I hate that anyone has to go home without their babies.

I feel like we have come a long ways, but it's amazing how fast all those feelings and memories come flooding back like it was yesterday. Even though it's "better" it doesn't go away. I've posted this song before, but it has really been speaking to me lately. The line that always sticks in my head is, "let me be singing when the evening comes". I hope that no matter how crappy of a day I've had, that I can still be singing at the end of the day. Thank you to those of you who have been praying for the family, please continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes

[Chorus]
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

You're rich in love, and You're slow to anger
Your name is great, and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

[Chorus]
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore

Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

Jesus, I'll worship Your holy name
Lord, I'll worship Your holy name

Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
Jesus, I'll worship Your holy name
I'll worship Your holy name
