Angels

Hittin' the keys early this morning...yesterday was a long and stressful day here in Central Oklahoma. Our prayers go out to those who have been affected by yesterdays storms...which I guess means everyone....We are all affected by tragedy at some level. Whether our homes, businesses and lives take a direct hit or you narrowly escape injury, to those across the nation and around the world...we can all identify with tragic circumstances.

As I view the devastation across eastern Oklahoma County, more specifically, Choctaw, I whisper a prayer of thanksgiving that Kevin's day was timed the way it was. If he had been 20 to 30 minutes later, he would have been standing at the Love's, pumping gas when the tornado hit, and I keep hearing in my head, the chorus of the Amy Grant song, "Angels Watching Over Me". "Angels watchin' over me, every move I make. Angels watchin' over me! Angels watchin' over me, every step I take. Angels wtachin' over me!" The next line in the song, right after the first chorus "God only knows the times my life was threatened just today."

So I leave this with you this morning. Lyrics written by Donald Lawrence & Co.:
Say A Prayer For Me
Lord I come to you I ask you to grant my request.
The prayers I pray today is different than the rest.
The enemy is threatened by the gift you placed in me,
hear my earnest prayer, cover me.
Jesus, say a prayer for me, you know what I need.
Go before the Father, intercede for me.
The enemy desires to sift me as wheat, but
like You did for Peter, say a prayer for me.
For those that you've called,
those fully equipped to fight the wind and the rain,
to captain the ship.
So I don't mind the storm,
I'm willing to sail, God, cover me so my faith won't fail.
Jesus, say a prayer for me, you know what I need.
Go before the Father, intercede for me.
The enemy desires to sift me as wheat, but
like You did for Peter, say a prayer for me.
Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh Holy Spirit pray for me.
Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh Holy Spirit pray for me.
Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh Holy Spirit pray for me.
Like You did for Peter, say a prayer for me.
