Random ramblings from a guy who's enjoying the ride...my thoughts on what God's been teaching me lately...who know what might all show up here...I guess it's a place for me to keep a slightly more public version of my daily journaling.

Can you imagine?

Hey, sorry about the interrupted post yesterday...I was kinda bored with it anyway and figured my time would be better spent sleeping. I got about half an hour of shut-eye in before Heinrich called. We went to the church to play a little pia-piano. We were working on Mercy Me's song "I Can Only Imagine". It's a pretty simple song musically, and maybe that's part of the reason it's such powerful song. I must admit that I never really paid attention to this song. I remember 2 years ago, Missi said it was her favorite song...I don't think I ever even listened to it, 'cause I thought it probably wasn't heavy enough for me. Stupid.
Well, Heinrich got the piano part figured out, and I was trying to play guitar and sing. After about the fourth time we sang it, the words finally dawned on me, and I got pretty choked up. I don't think Heinrich noticed, but I had to stop singing for a while to hold back the tears. The words, or rather the imagery is just too powerful. Here are the lyrics for the chorus:

Surrounded by Your glory,
what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus?
Or in awe of You, be still?
Will I stand in Your presence,
or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing 'Hallelujah!'?
Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine!
I can only imagine!

Well, hope you guys have a wonderful day!
Hey, what's up with the weather, eh? Talk about a roller-coaster ride. I don't think I can remember a week with such drastic changes from day to day.
