A Simple Song
By Melanée Addison
It s a simple song
Like falling rain
Washing my soul
And cleansing my pain
It s a song within
Like chirping birds
A sweet melody
That needs no words
Come and sing this simple song
Sing it softly or sing out strong
Join me in this simple song
This simple song of my Savior s love
It s an autumn wind
Blowing through trees
Kissing the many splendid leaves
It s a saving grace
From the grip of fear
A comforting whisper
Which dries my tears
Come and sing this simple song
Sing it softly or sing out strong
Join me in this simple song
This simple song of my Savior s love
It s a quiet shout
Throughout the land
It s the healing touch
Of my Savior s hand
It s a sound so sweet
From up above
It s the simple song
Of my Savior s love
Come and sing this simple song
Sing it softly or sing out strong
Join me in this simple song
This simple song of my Savior s love

REQUESTS:
From: susanlangerharris@earthlink.net (Susan Harris)
Hello Mike,
I just found out a couple a weeks ago, a person I went to school with has been in a coma for the last 14 years, yes 14 years. I have no address, but was wondering if everyone could pray for her to come out of the coma. Her name is Stephanie Stevens. I have been praying for her, but I believe there has to be a chain of prayers for her.
Thank-you.
Sue.

I have a 23 year old granddaughter she took an over doze of pill's last week. Ended up in the hospital. Had her stomach pump out. Now she is out of the hospital. And went to Fort Worth Tex. with a man. she has a darling little 4 year old girl. I am keeping my Sadie. she is my great granddaughter. It is all so sad. so pray for my granddaughter Melissa, and pray that God will give me the strength to cope what I have to face. I am 61 and it is hard at my age to keep up with a 4 year old. but with you're prayers, and God's help I will make it and over come.
God bless you

Hi,
Just an update on my mother. She is doing very well. She got to go home today so that is great. Her test results did come back as cancer. I do not know all the details but am still asking all of you to pass this on to everyone you know that knows how to pray. I know that God will do what he sees fit to do. I will try to keep you posted. Thanks so much for holding our names up in prayer. I know there is no distance in prayer.
God Bless!

Deep Thought For The Day:
"The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it is safe to cross
the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged
coworker of mine, when she asked if I knew what the buzzer
was for. I explained that it signals to blind people when the
light is red. She responded, appalled, "What on earth are
blind people doing driving?"

"I thought of you first after my family sat down to watch the video we gave them. They loved it, to say the least! Within thirty seconds my mom was crying and my dad did too. They said it was the best Christmas gift we could have given them!! You did such a beautiful job! They were so surprised and so touched---they really, really, really loved it. Thanks for helping to make it so special to us all. My mom mentioned how the songs were perfect for the video too! Thanks again!"
