Here’s a song I wrote and recorded last spring but actually got around to posting on my YouTube channel today. It feels like good timing for a lot of reasons, personal and communal. The words are inspired by the words of Jesus in the gospel of John, chapters 13 and 14.
Open your hopeful eyes in the morning,
before the very first light
Breathe in compassion, breathe out forgiveness
Before the very first light
Let not your hearts be troubled
Believe in God, believe in me
As I have loved you, Love one another
Reach out, follow me
Lay down your weary heads in the evening
After the very last light
Breathe in forgiveness, breathe out compassion
After the very last light
Let not your hearts be troubled
Believe in God, believe in me
As I have loved you, Love one another
Reach out, follow me
Gorgeous and so timely, Julia. I’m so glad you recorded this-its one of my favorites!
Thank you Theresa!
Simply profound!
It’s one of those truths, so basic to our faith, that we often overlook it in daily living; yet one which we need the most.
Timely! Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks so much Dad!
