Hush, Hush, Hush...
I heard a sound come from the ground
All of the trees are a buzz
Talking in tongues, talking with lungs
Talking of freedom
All of the earth is soon to give birth
Look at the mountains alive
Birds and the bees, insects and leaves
All of us longing, longing for home
Home, home is somewhere I've never known
Over the river
Over the river
I've set my hope
Over the river
Over the river
Over the river
I'll find my hope in You, You
I'll find my hope in You, You
Death, where is your sting?
Your signet ring?
Where is your power?
Your signet ring?
Where is your power?
Why all this war?
Death to the score
Nations are fading
Kingdom of light, setting us right
Finally human
Give me a tongue
It will be done
Inside I'm longing, longing for love
Love, love is something I've never known
Love, love is something I've never known
Over the River by Jon Foreman
(from the album Limbs and Branches)

This whole album has been speaking to me, lately. Egh! Actually, God has been speaking to me, but Jon Foreman is one talented dude!
I was thinking about some of the lyrics of this song:
Home, home is somewhere I've never known
Love, love is something I've never known
The most homey, comfortable, safe, warm home we've ever been to is nothing compared to our home in heaven. The love we experience in our families, with our friends, romantically...it's nothing compared to the love our Lord offers us, both now and forever! If we know Him, we will experience this love forever when we go to our home in Heaven! This earth and our experiences here are temporary. Thank goodness, because sometimes I feel a little weary of this life.
Be sure to check out Jon Foreman if you haven't. Talk to you ladies again, soon!
Going green!

Hey! I am brushing up on my GreenLight reading ... Thanks for your post. It is a huge comfort to think on the temporal nature of this life, even things that endure for years and years (marriage, our lil homes, career choices, etc.) are all momentary. God is our eternal Huband and heaven is our forever home! So excited. Love ya!
