LORD I CAN'T EVEN WALK WITHOUT YOU HOLDING MY HAND

I love the praise song, "Lord, I can't Even Walk Without You holding My Hand". And the lyrics are so meaningful and true. We all think of ourselves as being self sufficient and able to stand on our own until we are humbled in God's presence and realize we cannot make it on our own. "Down on my knees, I learned to stand, because I can't even walk, without YOU holding my hand!" I chose the video at the right to share as the lyrics are included with the beautiful images. And the arrangement is one that I sang with a back up tape whenever I sang it as special music in church. It always touches my heart. The lyrics are a sermon in itself. I hope you enjoy it as much as I always do.
And Lord, we pray for all those who are hurting today. There are so many illnesses and so many that are sad or poor or facing a crisis in their family life. We pray that you would reach out to them right now with your healing hand, placing it on them all and letting the light of your mercy flow through you to them. And through your blessing*, may we be a blessing to others in all that we do. Thank you Lord for all the gifts you give to us. Amen.

*Genesis 12:2,3 "And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who curses you I will curse; and by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves." So powerful are the words that just by receiving God's blessing and passing it on to others, we can change the world! Blessed to be a Blessing!
