Song for the Day

This morning I woke up with a Peasall Sisters song in my head called Jump. Since Andy gets home in about 2 hours, it seems especially appropriate for this day.

Jump

I knew it wasn't Everest
But it sure seemed high to me.
And though barely 5 years old
I shimmied up that tree.
Halfway up I looked down,
It seemed a mile away.
I still recall the fear I felt
Like it was yesterday.

Daddy came running when he heard my cry.
And he told me as his arms opened wide,

"Jump, child I will catch you. I will not let you slip through my arms.
Oh, jump. Don't think about it - don't ever doubt it.
There's no need to fear - I'm standing right here.
Jump!"

Today I'm still climbing
Reaching for my dreams.
And though I'm older now
There's still a child in me.
And I have these moments
Every now and then
It seems I'm all by myself
Stuck out on a limb.

But there's a Father up in heaven Who hears my cry.
And He tells me as His arms open wide,

"Jump, child I will catch you. I will not let you slip through my arms.
Oh, jump. Don't think about it - don't ever doubt it.
There's no need to fear - I'm standing right here.

Jump!"


Today I'm especially thankful for family and for the grace of God that surrounds us all.
