Tell Me Again About Heaven

It's been almost a full month since my last post. We are in the final planning weeks of our annual She Speaks conference so my days are filled with conference details. I need to stay focused so I don't make any big mistakes... like mixing up the roommates or allowing men to register for the women's conference. (It could happen!) So, I'm not posting very regularly :(

I promise to share the ups and down's of my life with you again very soon... or in about 7 weeks. In the meantime, I am listening to Cheri Keaggy's latest CD and it is amazing. One of the songs particularly touched me and I'm sure it will strike a chord with you as well. Enjoy~

Tell Me Again About Heaven

Have you ever looked at the sky
And wished you had wings fit to fly
'Cause you'd like to be free high above the ground
Never coming down
Looks like the perfect day for a balloon ride
I've been dreaming
Of that someday by and by

Won't you tell me again about Heaven
When we'll all be there at the Throne
Lord, won't You take me to Heaven
I want to go home

Have you ever cried for want
'Cause you wanted something so bad
That you feel overwhelmed at the thought of it
Just to ponder it
Makes you feel happy-sad at the same time
It's a longing
I've been longing for so long

Won't you tell me again about Heaven
When we'll all be there at the Throne
Lord, won't You take me to Heaven
I want to go home

No nothing compares
To the joy that awaits us up there
When we'll be caught up in the air
And I can't wait for that day
Come take me away
I can't wait for that day
Come take me away

Won't you tell me again about Heaven
When we'll all be there at the Throne
Lord, won't You take me to Heaven
I want to go home

Tell me again about Heaven
The most beautiful place that I know
Even though I've never been there
I want to go home
I want to go home

My favorite line... "When we'll ALL be there at the Throne."

Friends, this is where our hope comes from. This is where we find joy. This is how we go on.

We will all be there at the Throne.

Thanks, Cheri, for putting my hope to music... so beautifully!

Sweet Blessings,
LeAnn
