Thanks Bev.

When we decided to take this journey around the world, there were those who wanted us to "count the cost" and be sure. We were. We are. These are some of the moments we knew would probably come and hoped we wouldn't have to deal with. When our hearts SO long for home...but can't be there.

My sweet friend emailed to tell us about the memorial service for which we would loved to have been in attendance. It was a packed church, of course. She was/is much loved. But one sweet surprise we didn't know about...the King sang (smile). One of the blessings of a digital age. (We've recorded many different things...some professionally done and others, for family and friends, not so professionally done. If you didn't know, we are a musical family...and the King is the MOST talented...so far...we'll see what about his offspring...smile.)
This one he sang with a quartet and it is one of my favorites and I'm sure my friend was singing it with the angels..."Oh, What a Savior!"

The song is " What a Savior".

Once I was straying in sin's dark valley,
No hope within could I see,
I searched Thru heaven and found a Savior,
To save a poor lost sould like me

Chorus
Oh what a Savior! Oh Hallelujah
His heart was broken on Calvary,
His hands we nail scared: His side was riven,
He gave his life blood for you and me

Death's chilly waters I'll soon be crossing,
His hands will lead me safe o're
I'll join the chorus in that great city,
And sing up there for ever more

Chorus
Oh what a Savior! Oh Hallelujah
His heart was broken on Calvary,
His hands we nail scared: His side was riven,
He gave his life blood for EVEN me



Amen.
