The orphan clings to Your hand singing the song of how he was found.
And the widow rejoices for her oppressor is silenced now.
You sit at the table with the wounded and the poor
You laugh and share stories with the thief and the whore.
And where You could just be silent and leave us here to die
Still You sent Your Son for us
You are on our side.
The runaway falls at your feet; You are what he has searched for.
The rich man is broken when he stands beneath a sky full of stars.
You sit at the table with the wounded and the poor
You laugh and share stories with the thief and the whore.
And where You could just be silent and leave us here to die
Still You sent Your Son for us
You are on our side.
This song, You Are On Our Side, by Bethany Dillon is based on the following scripture:
Psalm 147:2-3 (The Message)
GOD's the one who rebuilds Jerusalem,
who regathers Israel's scattered exiles.
He heals the heartbroken
and bandages their wounds.
He counts the stars
and assigns each a name.
Our Lord is great, with limitless strength;
we'll never comprehend what he knows and does.
GOD puts the fallen on their feet again
and pushes the wicked into the ditch.
Rejoice! For our Savior is born!
I hope you and yours have had a wonderful Christmas holiday.

I expect you are holed up in that big house, messing around online, tending the animals and having the occasional drink. My kind of holiday. Stay warm.
Coffeypot, I got your email. Thanks! Power has been going on and off due to a massive blizzard ripping through the midwest. That's why I haven't been around as much. Will post more on that later.
Hope, I am holed up, currently enjoying a wonderful '08 Malbec. Trying to respond to the many emails and inquiries while I have power. It's hit and miss right now and STILL snowing. Very cold...about 15 degrees with wind chills below zero. I am absolutely loving it (srsly)!
Merry Christmas and God Bless!
