Amazing...




Jenny made a heart-touching Mother's Day cd with the kids at school this week...it was a cd of each child reading his or her own hand-written letter of "I Love My Mom Because...". The background music was this song...Amazing, by Janelle. As the music plays and the children read a letter of love, a slideshow of beautifully colored pictures of mom and child play. What an amazingly appropriate song for Mother's Day! Read the lyrics, listen to the song on the media player over to the right. This part, You came from Heaven shining
Breath of God still fresh on you
, will make you cry thinking about the birth of your own child!

The morning cold and raining
Dark before the dawn could come
How long in twilight waiting
Longing for the rising sun
Oh, Oh
You came like crashing thunder
Breaking through these walls of stone
You came with wide eyed wonder
Into all this great unknown
Hush now don’t you be afraid
I promise you I’ll always stay
I’ll never be that far away
I’m right here with you

You’re so amazing
You shine like the stars
You’re so amazing
The beauty you are
You came blazing
Right into my heart
You’re so amazing
You are, You are

You came from Heaven shining
Breath of God still fresh on you
The beating heart inside me
Crumbled at this one so new
Oh, Oh
No matter where, how far you wander
For a thousand years or longer
I will always be there for you
Right here with you
I hope your tears are few and fast
I hope your dreams come true at last
I hope you find love that goes on and on and on and on and on
I hope you wish on every star
I hope you never fall too far
I hope this world can see how wonderful you are

Amazing, Janelle
