All of the above - Mercy Me
Stuck in a day
Like a runner with no race
Are you afraid
Your joy has been misplaced
It's been a while
Since I've seen you smile
How easy you forget
So roll back the time
And there you will find
What never left
CHORUS
The day heaven found you
The day the angels sang
Praises to the Father
Who called you by name
The moment you surrendered
The moment you were saved
Life as you knew it forever was changed
And all the above rejoiced
Remember the day
When God forgot your sin
Remember the way
That joy came tumbling in
There will be times
When you cannot find
A reason to stand and sing
But let this remind
You time after time
You're a child of the King
REPEAT CHORUS
See them dancing
See them singing
All of heaven is rejoicing over you
REPEAT CHORUS 2x
hey hey (: It's been awhile since I last posted and today I came across this song in my playlist and it's a nice song (: It's really encouraging and I hope it'll encourage all of you, especially if life's not so smooth for you, to remember that no matter what, you're a child of the King! And that alone is a reason for you to rejoice and cheer up (:
Have a great day/week/month/year ahead! :D
Love, Cass! :D <3.

The Pearls
The cheerful little girl with bouncy golden curls, was Almost five.
Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw them,
a circle of glistening white pearls in a pink foil box.
"Oh please, Mommy. Can I have them? Please, Mommy, please?"
Quickly the mother checked the back of the little foil box
and then looked back into the pleading blue eyes of her little girl's upturned face.
"A dollar ninety-five. That's almost $2.00.
If you really want them, I'll think of some extra chores for you
and in no time you can save enough money
to buy them for yourself. Your birthday's only a week away and
you might get another crisp dollar bill from Grandma."
As soon as Jenny got home, she emptied her penny bank
and counted out 17 pennies. After dinner,
she did more than her share of chores and she went to the neighbour
and asked Mrs. McJames if she could pick dandelions for ten cents.
On her birthday, Grandma did give her another new dollar bill
and at last she had enough money to buy the necklace.
Jenny loved her pearls. They made her feel dressed up and grown up.
She wore them everywhere, Sunday school, kindergarten, even to bed.
The only time she took them off was when she went swimming
or had a bubble bath. Mother said if they got wet,
they might turn her neck green.
Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed,
he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story.
One night as he finished the story, he asked Jenny,
"Do you love me?" "Oh yes, daddy. You know that I love you."
"Then give me your pearls."
"Oh, daddy, not my pearls. But you can have Princess,
the white horse from my collection, the one with the pink tail.
Remember, daddy? The one you gave me.
She's my very favourite."
"That's okay, Honey, daddy loves you. Good night."
And he brushed her cheek with a kiss. About a week later,
after the story time, Jenny's daddy asked again,
"Do you love me?" "Daddy, you know I love you."
"Then give me your pearls."
Oh Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have my baby doll.
The brand new one I got for my birthday. She is beautiful
and you can have the yellow blanket that matches her sleeper.
"That's okay. Sleep well. God bless you, little one.
Daddy loves you." And as always,
he brushed her cheek with a gentle kiss.
A few nights later when her daddy came in,
Jenny was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed Indian-style.
As he came close, he noticed her chin was trembling
and one silent tear rolled down her cheek.
"What is it, Jenny? What's the matter?"
Jenny didn't say anything but lifted her little hand
up to her daddy. And when she opened it,
there was her little pearl necklace. With a little quiver,
she finally said, "Here, daddy, this is for you."
With tears gathering in his own eyes, Jenny's daddy
reached out with one hand to take the dime-store necklace,
and with the other hand he reached into his pocket and pulled out
a blue velvet case with a strand of genuine pearls
and gave them to Jenny.
He had them all the time.
He was just waiting for her to give up the dime-store stuff
so he could give her the genuine treasure.
So it is with our Heavenly Father.
He is waiting for us to give up the cheap things in our lives so that
he can give us beautiful treasures.
Isn't God good? Are you holding onto things that God wants you to let go of.
Are you holding on to harmful or unnecessary partners, relationships,
habits and activities that you have come so attached
to that it seems impossible to let go?
Sometimes it is so hard to see what is in the other hand
but do believe this one thing ....
God will never take away something without
giving you something better in its place.
Have a wonderful day.
If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.
So tell me what ya think yeah? ;)
