Sunday Afternoon Reflection

"God loves you. And I'd always say 'Big Deal! God loves everybody. That don't make me special. That just proves that God ain't got no taste.' And I don't think he does. Thank God! 'Cause God takes the junk of our lives and he makes the greatest art in the world out of it. And if was as cultured, if he was as civilized as most Christian people wish he was, he'd be useless to Christianity. But God is a wild man and I hope in the course of your life you encounter him. But let me warn you, you need to hang on for dear life or let go for dear life . . . maybe is better." Rich Mullins

If I had to pick just one song that expressed my journey with God, this is the one. With the death of Rich Mullins, Christian music lost not only a great talent, but a very honest and down-to-earth perspective on God and the Christian life.

Sometimes the night was beautiful
Sometimes the sky was so far away
Sometimes it seemed to stoop so close
You could touch it but your heart would break
Sometimes the morning came too soon
Sometimes the day could be so hot
There was so much work left to do
But so much You'd already done

CHORUS:
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days

Sometimes I think of Abraham
How one star he saw had been lit for me
He was a stranger in this land
And I am that, no less than he
And on this road to righteousness
Sometimes the climb can be so steep
I may falter in my steps
But never beyond Your reach

CHORUS

And I will follow You all of my days
And I will follow You all of my days
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days
And I will follow You all of my days
(Sometimes the night was beautiful)
And I will follow You all of my days
