all i can say...

here i sit. looking at the mounds of paper work and accounting that hasn't stopped even though i have. not sure where to begin. i sent the kids off to day care/camp this morning. its raining (blah). when they are here with me all day i lose my patience all too quickly. when i send them off i'm left feeling guilty.

i pop david crowder into the cd player and begin to tackle my chores. he has got to be the most effective, inspirational singer/songer writer i have ever worshipped with. he is so genuine and sensitive and that is on recorded cd. i haven't had the opportunity (like steve did) to see him live, but i bet it would be an awesome experience.

'all i can say' is on right now, one of my favourites. it always stirs something up within me. i remember hearing it for one of the first times when steve and phil sang it together for us at connexity. what a blessing.

lord i'm tired
so tired from walking
and lord i'm so alone
and lord the dark
is creeping in creeping up
to swallow me
i think i'll stop
and rest here a while

and didn't you see me cryin
and didn't you here me
call your name
and wasn't it you i gave my heart to
i wish you'd remember where you
sat it down and this is all
this is all that i can say right now
and this is all that i can give

i didn't notice you were
standing here
i didn't know that that was you
holding me
i didn't notice you were
crying too
i didn't know that
that was you washing
my feet

hmmm....................

back to work. i wish starbucks delivered!

I love that song! First time I heard it was at connexity in the fall, and it just totally moved me! Used it for a devotion with my camp staff earlier this summer...ah..it's just fantastic! Love it! :)
