Oh my savior I give you glory, my Redeemer my God and King.
There is no one, Oh so holy, like the one who sets me free.
I can't think of anywhere, anywhere I would want to be more than with you.
I can't think of anything, anything I would rather do than to give you glory.
Come my Savior, on the clouds, Holy Spirit speed the hour.
I will shout out loud the message, "freedom is coming and the kingdom is now."
Let Your rain come down all around, let the thunder sound shake the ground.
Let the waterfall pound breaking down, all the lies you found under me.
Let the sightless see, let 'em see, set the bound ones free set 'em free.Water fall on me water fall, I have sought your heart hear me call.
Oh my savior I give you glory, my Redeemer my God and King.
There is no one, Oh so holy, like the one who sets me free.
I am here to speak a message, tell the truth that will set you free.
I proclaim freedom to the captives, freedom to you in Jesus name.
You can bow, before the master, find your shelter under his blood.You can come and be forgiven carried along in the crimson flood.
Let Your rain come down all around, let the thunder sound shake the ground.
Let the waterfall pound breaking down, all the lies you found under me.
Let the sightless see, let 'em see, set the bound ones free set 'em free.
Water fall on me water fall, I have sought your heart hear me call.
Oh my savior I give you glory, my Redeemer my God and King.
There is no one, Oh so holy, like the one who sets me free.
There is no one, Oh so holy, like the one who sets me free.
I can't think of anywhere, anywhere I would want to be more than with you.

Let Your rain come down all around, let the thunder sound shake the ground.
Let the waterfall pound breaking down, all the lies you found under me.
Let the sightless see, let 'em see, set the bound ones free set 'em free.Water fall on me water fall, I have sought your heart hear me call.

Please reflect for a while. Thank you :)
In other news, I have gone from being by myself at home to a full house. Jerry and Marty are back and their twin grandchildren Jared and Gabby are here for Bible School. Needless to say there was quite a shift from my quiet house and routine that I had gotten accustomed to, but I think things are working out alright. By that I mean Jared and Gabby seem to like me. After all, I did teach them how to do Sudokus :)
Speaking of Bible School things are going well, some classes have over twenty kids in them and others are pushing that. I am happy with my six to eight 6th graders. We have had fun the past couple of days. We are now by far the loudest class when it comes to singing time, especially during the shouting sections. So far we have learned about the parable of the Sower, Lost Sheep and the Good Samaritan and will also learn about the Friend in Need (Luke 11:1-13) and the parable of the Talents. It has been a very tiring week to say the least, which Bible School always has been but is still fun and meaningful.
The other day while helping to "baby sit" Jared and Gabby we went to the park and enjoyed the company of numerous little ones. I rescued this one little guy from the top of the jungle gym because he was scared and couldn't get down. Boy did he want to play with me and the others the rest of the time we were there. It was interesting to see the little kids flock to us as "adults" who would actually give them the time of day and have fun with them. Some of these kids come from some pretty broken homes like abusive parents, divorce and really didn't feel all that loved it seemed and just begged for attention. Just pushing people on the swings, helping them on the teeter-totter, playing tag, or spinning the Merry-Go round (lightning speed seemed to be the favorite there), and the smiles on their faces was something my soul needed. It was a blast!!
I hope you all are doing alright from the latest round of storms I heard about. I think it is going to warm up out here next week. After a week of that I will be begging for this weather again.
Thanks for your prayers and support, I truly appreciate it.
Shalom,
Matt
Everytime I see/hear the lyrics to Waterfall it makes me ponder so many things. Thanks for posting these. It was a nice way to start off my Saturday. Hope all is still well with you, Matt. I loved the playground story as well. Hopefully there are (many) more situations like that to come!! :) Take care!
