(Col 3:15, 1 Cor 1:3, Psalm 119:105)
What to know about this song:
I’ve never been much of a conventional
worship leader, neither with adults nor with children. I don’t believe that I have the same gift
that, say, a Chris Tomlin has. I believe,
rather, that God has given me the gift of teaching, of exhortation, and that
music is the vessel I’m given to convey that gift for now.
Having said that, my first goal with
these songs is to teach your kids something.
If they can spin my CD a few times and know a little something about who
they are by the time they get a little older, then mission accomplished.
This song, however, is the one exception
– this is the song I wrote simply because I have a heart for children. Though I hope these songs touch the lives of
as many kids as possible, and though I have a heart for all children, there is
a small group of them that I’m blessed to see every Sunday morning, and that
I’ve been so honored to be entrusted to lead them in worship for a few minutes
every week. I wanted to give them
something that doesn’t require them to do or say or think about anything, but
instead that simply blesses their hearts.
I hope this song blesses you and your
kids!
Lyrics:
Grace and Peace be with you, my friends,
May His presence protect you, ‘til we’re
singing again
Together, with thanks, for all He has
done
And be filled with the hope of great
works still to come
May goodness and mercy be the air that
you breathe
And the Truth of His Word be a light for
your feet
Love God, love each other, and rest in
His arms
May He bless you and keep you, and keep
you from harm
Let us worship and praise Him in all
that we do
It’s such a joy to my heart just to
praise Him with you
