All Through The Night


I am on my first overnight on call here at Bethany. Our hospital does a nice thing...at 9 am and 9 pm, the chaplain on duty reads a prayer over the PA system. It has to be very short, since its the same PA system they use to call codes, but its just nice. I've heard from several patients who really appreciate it. I love doing it, its really very peaceful. Unfortunately, being peaceful means that I don't have much to say on my blog tonight, but I've been neglecting it way too long. So, instead, I'm going to post some song lyrics that I like. I learned it from Heather, when we were playing our guitars earlier this year. It was sort of our theme song last week. Tripp and I both like the song, and then one of the staff chaplains here was playing it, so Tripp and I sang it with a family we were sitting with. Then I kept hearing it in the car... anyway, its just one of those things. So here y'all go! (The song is called Heart of Worship, but I don't know who sings the version on the radio...)

When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
