The Lenten Season

Just a simple question - if you observe Lent, what if anything have/will you give up?

You Brought Me Through (I think)

Rating:	★★★★★
Category:	Music
Genre:	Christian & Gospel
Artist:	Jennifer Hudson

Let me say this, Jennifer had me tears when she sang this song last nite. (Sorry, if that's not the title.) It was VERY emotional for me, as I know what she was probably thinking & feeling as she sang. There's no way I could've done the same. She's truly a gem. Her Angels were definitely smiling upon her last night.

I jacked this from Nae & feel the need to share with my connects, etc. If this doesn't "move" you in some sort of way, you have no soul....in my humble opinion, of course.

Going to Church with Eddie Kane!

A fav scene & song from one of my fav movies.

This always moves me to tears because I think of Muda, my grandmother.

From the time I was about 10 and her health would bring her down, she'd be hurting so bad, I could hear her whisper at night, "Lord take me, because I'm ready." Since I was in her bed most times, I counter-prayed that He didn't. He saw fit for me to have her for 28 years and for that I'm eternally grateful!

The Commodores - Jesus is Love - 1980

My mother, who was rarely a church going woman, introduced me to this one & it has gotten me thru some really dark days. Thanks Ma.


"Jesus is Love"
by The Commodores

Father
Help Your children
And don't let them fall
By the side of the road, mmm...mmm...

And teach them
To love one another
That Heaven might find
A place in their hearts

'Cause Jesus is love
He won't let you down
And I know He's mine forever
Oh, in my heart

We've got to walk on
Walk on through temptation
'Cause His love and His wisdom
Will be our helpin' hand

And I know the Truth
And His words will be our salvation
Lift up our hearts
To be thankful and glad

That Jesus is love
He won't let you down
And I know He's mine
Deep down in my soul

Jesus is love
Oh, yes, He is
He won't let you down
And I know He's mine, He's mine, He's mine, He's mine, all mine
Forever, oh, in my heart
Help me, heart, heart
Ooh...ooh...

(Deep in my heart)
I know, I know, I know, I know
Ah, 'cause His love's the power (Power)
His love's the glory (Glory)
Forever (Ever and ever)

Ooh, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Ooh, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Ooh, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah)

I wanna follow your star
Wherever it leads me
And I don't mind, Lord
I hope you don't mind

I wanna walk with you
And talk with you
And do all the things you want me to do
'Cause I know that Jesus

(Jesus is Love, I know) 'Cause I know, Lord
(And if you ask, I'll show)
(Love is the word forever) And ever and ever

Who can bring you love (Jesus)
Who can bring you joy (Jesus)
Who can turn your life around (Jesus), oh

Ooh, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Hey

Who will pick you up (Jesus)
Ooo when you fall (Jesus)
Who will stand beside you (Jesus)
Who will love us all
Hey (Jesus) (Yeah, yeah)

I think I want to say
Who can heal your body (Jesus)
Who can make it strong (Jesus)
Who can help you to hold out (Jesus)
A little while longer (Jesus)

Ooh, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Hey

Jesus loves you
Jesus wants you
If you call him
He will answer

Call Him in the morning (Jesus)
Call Him in the evening (Jesus)
Call Him in the midnight hour (Jesus)

Ooh, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah (Yeah, yeah)
Hey
