I will close this story with a verse and a song. Ephesians 1:17-19 is Paul’s prayer for the Ephesian church. It is the prayer that my in-laws prayed for me and I now pray others: “I pray that the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes your heart may be enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, and what is the glory of the riches of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe.” I tell you, those riches are far beyond anything I even remotely dreamed about. Those riches are what I strive to share on my blog, to share my journey with those who want to travel with me.
“I grew up in Sunday School. I memorized the golden rule,
and how Jesus came to set the sinner free.
I know the story inside out, and I can tell you all about
the path the led Him up to Calvary.
But ask me why He loves me, and I don’t know what to say.
But I’ll never be the same because He changed my life when He became…
Everything to Me – He’s more than a story,
More than words on a page of history.
He’s the air that I breathe,
The water I thirst for,
And the ground beneath my feet.
He’s everything to me.
We’re living in uncertain times, and more and more I find
that I’m aware of just how fragile life can be.
I want to tell the world I’ve found a love that turned my life around.
They need to know that they can taste and see.
Now every day I’m praying just to give my heart away.
I want to live for Jesus so that someone else might see that He is…
Everything to Me – He’s more than a story,
More than words on a page of history.
He’s the air that I breathe,
The water I thirst for,
And the ground beneath my feet.
He’s everything to me.
And looking back over my life at the end,
I’ll go to meet You, saying You’ve been…
Everything to Me – You’re more than a story,
More than words on a page of history
You’re the air that I breathe,
The water I thirst for,
And the ground beneath my feet.
You’re everything, everything to me.”
Everything to Me – sung by Avalon
“I pray that the Father of glory…
may give to you a spirit of wisdom
and revelation in the knowledge of Him.”
– Eph. 1:17-19
