Remembering where God has taken me from and brought me to is always encouraging for me. Talking the other day with my very good friend I was reminded of the song I was listening to the day that I realized that my life was on a horrible path. I finally saw that things could only get worse and I felt that I couldn't take much more. I went for a long walk and I prayed and cryed and then I heard this song on my headphones and it was like a message straight from God for me at that moment. In that very hour I gave my life back to God. He really did make me whole again! One year later I met Adam, and 6 and a half years later I have all I ever dreamed of. Some may say that my life is simple but I know that God knew the desires of my heart and he allowed me them. Thank God for the gift of music and how often He can speak to our hearts through it.
Daddy, daddy do you miss me.
The way I crawled upon your knee.
Those childish games of hide and seek
Seem a million miles away.
Am I lost in some illusion.
Or am I what you thought I'd be.
Now it seems I've found myself
And need to be forgiven.
Is there still room upon that knee?
If I give my Life, If I lay it down
Can you turn this Life around, around
Can I be made clean
By this offering of my soul.
Can I be made whole again?
Have I labored all for nothing.
Trying to make it on my own.
Fear to reach out to the hand
Of one who understands me
Say I'd rather be here all alone.
It's all my fault I sit and wallow in seclusion.
As if I had no hope at all,
I guess truth becomes you
I have seen it all in motion
That Pride comes before the fall.
If I give my Life, If I lay it down
Can you turn this Life around, around
Can I be made clean
By this offering of my soul.
Can I be made whole again?
Can I offer up this simple prayer.
Pray it finds a simple ear.
A scratch in your infinite time.
Not withstanding my fallings
Not withstanding my crime!
If I give my Life, If I lay it down
Can you turn this Life around, around
Can I be made clean,
By this offering of my soul.
Can I be made whole again?
If I give my Life, If I lay it down
Can you turn this Life around, around
Can I be made clean
By this offering of my soul.
Can I be made whole again?

Amen! "Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." (Ephesians 5:19-20) Awesome testimony! Thanks for sharing, Charlene!
Thanks Andrew. I just found this CD again after it has been lost for about a year and was really reminded of how the words on the whole CD minister to me. I love it.
