  • Changing the world, one lullaby at a time...

    My son David has had a long-term disability for 24 years now, and sometimes, he just gets really frustrated at having to just deal with the things he has to go through all the time, and he just gets mad.  Last night, and this morning, were one of those times...the boy just got mad.  Mad at having to suffer every day.  Mad at having to watch others every day get to do stuff he cannot do...have freedoms he cannot have.  Sometimes, he just gets so mad, he can't do anything but cry in his frustration.  It's times like that, that he needs God, with skin on.

    Last night, I cuddled my boy for a long time, with his head on my lap, and sang to him...this song...for nearly 2 hours.  Years ago, God gave us a David Clydesdale version of a song from a Christmas musical, From Heaven's Throne.  The song is 'Trust His Heart'.  Beginning in 1992, we listened to that song every day, several times a day, for literally years.  David would get sick, have surgeries and seizures, go into comas, and come out of them, all to the words and music of this song.  Last night, I pulled our song out of my bag once again, and sang him to sleep.  It took a while, but I finally heard the heavy breathing of his slumber, and drifted off myself.  I wanted to share with you today, the words of David's special lullaby:

    Go change the world.

    Go change the world.

    Your light will fill the darkness.

    Your life will lead the way.

    Go change the world.

    Go change the world.

    Their only hope is in a Savior….

    Go change the world!

    God is too wise to be mistaken.

    God is too good to be unkind.

    But when you don’t understand,

    When you can’t see His Plan,

    When you can’t trace His Hand…..

    Trust His Heart.

    He alone is faithful and true.

    He alone knows what is best for you……

    So, when you don’t understand,

    When you can’t see His Plan,

    When you can’t trace His Hand……….

    Trust His Heart.

    So, God gave us that song years ago, and David has been through many things over a long period of time, and this song keeps coming back, as a reminder of comfort, and trust, and faith...in a God who cares, even when we don't understand the whys and wherefores of things, and when we hurt.

    I hope the words to the song bring you some comfort, if you find yourself going through something tough today.

    Much love to you, and yours........
