This morning I really immersed myself into Katrina.
Quite honestly other than a good friend, Fish, I have no ties to New Orleans or any of the other devastated area's. Even more honest: I am not sure I can take any more pain. I hate being separated from Nick and the plight of those that have suffered from Katrina spins me out of control.
Sonrise believes that the number one way to get things done is to pray. That is an obvious start and a privilige more than a burden that I will take upon myself. Here is one of my prayers for today: My very Favorite Song.
Shine, Jesus, Shine
Shine, Jesus, Shine!
Shine, Jesus, Shine!
Shine, Jesus, shine; fill this land with the Father's glory;
Blaze, Spirit blaze, set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy;
Send forth Your Word, Lord, and let there be light.
Shine, Jesus, Shine;
Shine, Jesus, Shine!
Lord, the light of Your love is shining,
In the midst of the darkness shining.
Jesus, Light of the World, shine upon us;
Set us free by the truth You now bring us.
Shine on me,
Shine on me!
Shine, Jesus, shine; fill this land with the Father's glory;
Blaze, Spirit blaze, set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy;
Send forth Your Word, Lord, and let there be light.
Shine, Jesus, Shine;
Shine, Jesus, Shine!
Lord, the light of Your love is shining,
In the midst of the darkness shining.
Jesus, Light of the World, shine upon us;
Set us free by the truth You now bring us.
Shine on me,
Shine on me!
Shine, Jesus, shine; fill this land with the Father's glory;
Blaze, Spirit blaze, set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy;
Send forth Your Word, Lord, and let there be light.
Shine, Jesus, Shine;
Shine, Jesus, Shine!
Lord, the light of Your love is shining,
In the midst of the darkness shining.
Jesus, Light of the World, shine upon us;
Set us free by the truth You now bring us.
Shine on me,
Shine on me!
Shine, Jesus, shine; fill this land with the Father's glory;
Blaze, Spirit blaze, set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy;
Send forth Your Word, Lord, and let there be light.
Send forth Your Word, Lord, and let there be light!
