day twenty-six

You Are

Through the Lord's mercies we are
not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning.
Great is Your faithfulness.
"The Lord is my portion," says my
soul,
"Therefore I hope in Him!"

The Lord is good to those who wait
for Him,
To the soul who seeks Him.
Lamentations 3:22-25 (nkjv)

There is a silent prayer in my heart that goes up to God daily, whenever the Spirit leads. Lately He's been using the song Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman, to invoke this prayer. And no I'm not praying for a daughter. But it is for my family...it is a cry of my heart that God hears and it's part of a bigger collective cry of prayer... tears that are collected and kept and noticed and thought upon by the heart of our great Lord himself.

Ponder and hold onto the hope He has put in your heart until the day He reveals His hand for which you are praying. Don't stop praying. There is no one like our God!

She spins and she sways to whatever song plays,

Without a care in the world.

And I'm sitting here wearing

the weight of the world on my shoulders.

It's been a long day and there's still work to do,

She's pulling at me saying "Dad I need you!

There's a ball at the castle

and I've been invited and I need to practice my dancin'"

"Oh please, daddy, please!"

Chorus:So I will dance with Cinderella

While she is here in my arms

'Cause I know something the prince never knew

Oh I will dance with Cinderella

I don't want to miss even one song

'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight

And she'll be gone.

She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed

She wants to know if I approve of the dress

She says, "Dad the prom is just one week away

And I need to practice my dancin' "

Oh please, daddy , please!"

So I will dance with Cinderella

While she is here in my arms

'Cause I know something the prince never knew

Oh I will dance with Cinderella

I don't want to miss even one song

'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight

And she'll be gone

But she came home today with a ring on her hand

Just glowin' and tellin' us all they had planned

She says, "Dad the wedding's still six months away

but I need to practice my dancin'

"Oh please, daddy , please!"

So I will dance with Cinderella

While she is here in my arms

'Cause I know something the prince never knew

Oh I will dance with Cinderella

I don't want to miss even one song

'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight

And she'll be gone
