Not the Aretha Franklin, in her beaufont hair, waving her manicured nails in the air, demanding R-E-S-P-E-C-T kind of soul.
But the mind-bending, peace-like-a-river, it is well...with my soul, kind of soul.
the kind of soul that is frighteningly naked and vulnerable,
the kind of soul that is searching,
a soul that is learning,
to know, not just with my mind,
but with my heart.
It's the kind of soul that lead me to finally writing and finishing a song tonight.
I wanted to write a song that would reflect the process which God has been taking me through. And tonight God helped me. And I wanted to share, even though I feel awkward about it. But my hope is that this song would speak to you. And maybe it won't. But I still wanted to share:
Come to Jesus' feet
and lay your sorrows down
He will draw near to you
in ways so deep
and profound
chorus:
He says, "Come just as you are
And lay your burdens down."
So come just as you are.
O how beautiful it is
to see the glory of the LORD,
For we are broken people
who need a glorious God
chorus:
O come just as you are
and lay your burdens down
O come just as you are
bridge:
O rejoice in the hope!
O rejoice in the hope!
Beloved, rejoice in the hope
of the glory of God!
I'm working up the courage to record the song and post it. Hopefully, I will be able to have it up within the week. I've never really done that before. But hey, why not?
peace out.

I can't wait to hear the recording! Congratulations on persevering through your writer's block.
I, too, cannot wait to hear the recording. Just reading the lyrics brought tears to my eyes. I miss you so much, Linell, and I'm praying for you fervently. *HUGS*
