Please Pray for This Family

A co-worker of our daughter lost her 28 year old son last night. A blood clot caused cardiac arrest in this beloved son while his mother was out of state. I cannot begin to understand the pain and heartache that this mother and father are enduring. Tonight, I ask that my Blog readers will uplift this family in prayer. The song, "Because He Lives" came to mind today for this family. Because He lives, we CAN face tomorrow - no matter the heartache, death, pain, or suffering that this life brings to our families.

Because He Lives

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus

He came to love, heal, and forgive.

He lived and died to buy my pardon,

An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.

Because He lives, All fear is gone.

Because I know He holds the future,

And life is worth the living just because He lives.

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,

And feel the pride and joy he gives.

But greater still the calm assurance,

This child can face uncertain days because He lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.

Because He lives, All fear is gone.

Because I know He holds the future,

And life is worth the living just because He lives.

And then one day I'll cross the river,

I'll fight life's final war with pain.

And then as death gives way to victory,

I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.

Because He lives,

All fear is gone!

Because I know He holds the future

And life is worth the living just because He lives!
