When words fail......

Morning,

I am a big believer in the healing power of music.  I think a great song, played at just the right time, can really stir something up in your soul.  My father is a musician and I feel as though music has flowed through my veins ever since I was a child.  He taught me how to appreciate an artist's voice, lyrics, and message. 
In these past 14 months of trying to expand our family, I have relayed heavily on music to get me through some dark times.  I wanted to share those with you today.

"Where words fail, music speaks." - Hans Christian Anderson

Let It Be - The Beatles

When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom,

Let it be

And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom,

Let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom,

Let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer,

Let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer.

Let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
shine until tomorrow,

Let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom,

Let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone)- Chris Tomlin

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

I will end this post with words of wisdom from my amazing dad:

“Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass … Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.” (Psalm 37:4,7)
