Out of the mouths of babes, part 2

After the last post about Paul, I’m guessing people think my kids are really wild animals. Well, truth be told that’s partially true… but they also are really sweet and say nice things.

Last night Paul and Kristen were laying in Paul’s bed. Kristen was trying to get Paul to go to sleep when he said, "Mommy, can we sing the calm song?" Kristen didn’t think she knew it so Paulie started singing…

"Oh, no. You not let go, through the calm and through the storm. Oh no. You not let go of me."

Kristen instantly recognized it as the Matt Redman song, You Never Let Go,  on the Passion CD. It’s amazing the spiritual truths my 2 year old is picking up from listening to our iPod. (The boy likes Tomlin too, he once got us all stopped talking in the car to saym "Mommy, holy is the Lord. The Lord is holy." Makin Moses proud there eh?)

Here’s the lyrics from Redman’s song… good stuff. He completed ripped off David!

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
Your perfect love is casting out fear.
And even when I´m caught in the middle of the storms of this life,
I won´t turn back, I know You are near.

And I will fear no evil,
For my God is with me.
And if my God is with me,
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?

O no, You never let go,
Through the calm and through the storm
O no, You never let go,
In every high and every low
O no, You never let go –
Lord You never let go of me.

And I can see a light is coming for the heart that holds on –
A glorious light beyond all compare.
And there will be an end to these troubles,
But until that day comes,
We´ll live to know You here on the earth.

(And I will fear no evil¦)

Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on,
And there will be an end to these troubles, but until that day comes,
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You.
