What Wondrous Love is This
What wondrous love is this,
O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this
that caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse
for my soul, for my soul,
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul.
When I was sinking down,
sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down, sinking down,
When I was sinking down
beneath Gods righteous frown,
Christ laid aside His crown
for my soul, for my soul,
Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.
To God and to the Lamb,
I will sing, I will sing;
To God and to the Lamb I will sing.
To God and to the Lamb
Who is the great I Am;
While millions join the theme,
I will sing, I will sing;
While millions join the theme, I will sing.
And when from death I’m free,
I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on;
And when from death Im free, I’ll sing on.
And when from death I’m free,
I’ll sing and joyful be,
And through eternity
I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
And through eternity I’ll sing on.
Lose Control
When do I feel it in my bones?
That kind of breathing
Whispering mysteries to my soulI think it’s when I lose control
I think it’s when I lose control
We can’t keep fighting for a steady life, so
I’ll ride the wind like a feather toward home
When do I see it?
When do I understand this better?
After the ashes
When will the pieces come together?
I think it’s when I lose control
I know it’s when I lose control
But we can’t keep fighting for a steady life, so
I’ll ride the wind like a feather toward home
The wind like a feather toward home
With hope
With hope
When I die my body will say goodbye
To the things that held me down
To the fear that kept my hands tied
When I’m gone my heart will carry on
Past the valleys I called my home
Where my questions and concerns will piece together
Until then
I’ll ride the wind like a feather toward home
The wind like a feather toward home
When the bows about to break
From the wind that hell can throw
And my body’s shot
From fighting it with everything
When will the calm that was here before
Drag the clouds of sorrows storm?
I think it’s when I lose control
I know it’s when I lose control
We can’t keep fighting for a steady life

I was touched by Maggies funeral. I was especially moved by Phil’s words. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this precious time! God is indeed good!
Beautiful! I especially loved when your husband said she overcame cancer the day she accepted the Lord as her Savior. Such truth!! Praying for you as you grieve with hope. ❤️????????????????
