A Special Song

I want to share with you a song that has meant a lot to me in the past two years.  I cried when I first heard it and I still cry when I hear it again.  It touches my heart because I can identify so well with the author!  My friend Heidi sang this song at the Borderland Ladies Retreat about a year ago.  I think it touched their hearts also.
Annette Beasley gave me permission to put it on here for you to benefit from as well.  If you would like to hear her sing it, the cassette “A Mother’s Heart” is free or if you prefer a CD the cost is $10!  She is accompanied by guitar. Some of the songs are for your children and others for you!  It is a great source of encouragement.   Here is her link amothersheart@characterlink.net    Annette is a mother of nine.

.I remember at one time wishing to change the words “I pour out my complaint before Him . . . ”  Then I read them in Psalm 142:2 and 3, and I know so often it is truein my own life.  I pour out my complaint, my spirit grows weak..  But Jesus is a refuge and I need His strength throughout the day!!!!

May you be blessed by Annette’s words as I am, and may God’s strength go on for you too!


The List Goes On

My toddler spilled his milk, the telephone is ringing.
My baby needs to nurse, someone’s at the door.
And the list goes on and the list goes on.  
And the list goes on ,  and the list goes on

I cried to the Lord for mercy, Lord Jesus help me,
I pour out my complaint before him, I tell him my troubles
When my spirit grows faint within me, it is You who know my way
Jesus, You, are a refuge I need your strength throughout the day

Because the list goes on, buckle your seatbelt and the list goes on,
We’re late for the doctor, the list goes on, Where are the keys, I have to go potty,
And the list goes on, my husband needs a lunch, and the list goes on
The floor hollers scrub me, the list goes on
The dishes never end and the list goes on and on and on

The Bible says children are a blessing a reward from the Fathers hand
Eternal treasure given to us to train up in the Lord’s command
Be not weary in well doing, Commit your way unto the Lord
Life is fleeting like a vapor, very soon they will be gone

But the list still goes on, will you tie my shoe and the list goes on,
I should write my mother, the list goes on, I need to fold the clothes,
Will you wipe my nose and the list goes on ,
Will you zip my coat and the list goes on
What will I fix for dinner, the list goes on,
Her diaper is dirty, change me
And the list goes on, who wrote on the wall and the list goes on,
I think I might be pregnant, The list goes on,
Please pick up your toys, Don’t make so much noise, and the list goes on
The hamster has escaped, and the list goes on,
The bathroom has an odor, the list goes on
Mommy, he hit me, Sometimes I feel like a referee, and the list goes on
Can I have a drink and the list goes on,
A band aide for my owie, the list goes on.
Will you read to me, and on and on and on

BUT GOD’S STRENTH GOES ON,
BUT GOD’S STRENTH GOES ON
BUT GOD’S STRENTH GOES ON,
GOD’S STRENGTH GOES ON!!!!!!!!!!!!
