Ever been brought back to a very specific time and place, just upon hearing the opening chords of a song? Music indeed has the power to transport us and move us. On this somber anniversary of the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti, I pray this music will help us not only remember, but in response, also be moved to action. How might you help? Check out the Apparent Project for one way, or help my daughter Lillia who is raising money to build houses in Haiti.
Come Together Now There is hurt there is trouble there are tears on the ground from the ash and the rubble there’s a cry ringing out You’ve been shaken by loss You’ve been by shattered by fear Give me eyes that can see it Give me ears that can hear when you hurt I’m hurting when you’re bleeding I bleed when you cry I’m crying I am down on my knees. When theres nothing left standing And theres no reason why Lets go walking on the water to reach the other side Stretch your arm and help the brokenhearted Say a pray that change will come We will fight for the children who were hurting Lets stand as one and come together now. It wont be long keep holding on Hold your head high; hold your head high Keep standing strong youre not alone now Hold your head high; hold your head high Stretch your arm and help the broken hearted Say a pray that change will come We will fight for the children who were hurting Lets stand as one and come together now.Passionate about hope, justice, adoption, ministry, and theology
