"King of All" Song

Ok, I've figured it out. Here's the main song I've been working on. Click here to listen. It comes out of the events of Easter, and what it all means for us on this side of the resurrection.... The new king is here, a new kingdom has come (and one day will be even greater), and it's unlike any other kingdom ever seen. This kingdom brings life, and love, and grace - and hope. Here are the lyrics. Love to hear some thoughts.

Hear the sound
And feel it rising loud
A new day’s coming now
A new day’s coming now

So raise your voice
Let’s join and make some noise
For love’s victorious
For love’s victorious

And we live to bring you praise
And we join the heavens to say

The king of all the earth is here
The song of love, the prince of peace
Forever, forever we’ll sing
The king of hope, the king of grace
You gave it all, you took our place
Forever, forever we’ll sing

 What can I say?
It takes my breath away
This love amazes me
Amazes me

Jesus Christ
Who gave up even his life
Now rules the universe
The universe

The world is waking
Dawn is breaking
All creation has longed for this day
Love victorious
Hope is glorious
Here’s our song, let it soar, Jesus reigns

Lily's World

Me: What did you do at Grandma's, Lily?
Lily: I had 13 sleep and Isla had 18 sleep.
Me: Oh, when did you wake up?
Lily: I woke up at a-thirty, and Isla woke up at 16!
Me: Wow, that's a great sleep. What else did you do?
Lily: We had asagne and we didn't have ice cream, but Grandma said, "You girls can have a little bit of ice cream," AND WE DID! And we had co-co pops and played on the coloured thing, and then we comed home.
Me: And what did Isla do?
Lily: All the same, but not on the hammer thing.

How much do I love conversations with Lily!
(the "hammer thing" is a hammock)

Lily's World

Lily: "We're going to have a girls' night, and we're going to go on a plane after we go to the beach, and after we've had fun on there then we're going to go to Bella and Ry-Ry's house but Ry-Ry can't come because it's only for girls but Lucy can, and we're going to have all fun. And there will be make-up things in there and stickers and toilets and a bag."

Songs

So I've got a song written, at least enough to put up here, but I've just figured out that I don't actually know how to put it up on the blog....

Ah well, it was a nice idea. If I do work it out, or if one of you two people who actually read this blog know how to do it, I'll post it. Otherwise, sorry for the empty promise!
