I want to thank God for song writers. Those unsung heroes. We give credit to the people who perform the song, the music composers and the musicians, but often forget the heart of it all. These are the people who help us express our love, hate, joy, sorrow and every other emotion that we can think of. There are times when I'm so broken that I cannot even pray, but remember a song and think of it or sing it. Its amazing what wonderful words they come up with in the darkest moments of their lives. One famous song writer I can remember right now is Fanny Crosby, I saw a movie about her life two years ago and was amazed and challenged by her life. She wrote some of the famous hymns like "Blessed Assurance", "Pass Me Not, O Gentle Saviour","To God Be the Glory", " Safe in the arms of Jesus". These are just few of the thousands of hymns she has written. What makes her special? she was blind. It is amazing how she could love God so much in spite of her limitations. Some of the songs I love to sing when I can't pray are "I will sing" by Don Moen, "Not Forgotten" by Twila Paris and "Hold me Jesus" by Rich Mullins. Thank you Jesus for song writers, for the talents you give them. What would we do without them!
