If you like country music, or even if you don't, you might appreciate this CD also. The words to all the songs are so thought-provoking, touching, and challenging spiritually.
The song "Raise Him Up" (lyrics here) talks about adoption and first brought to my mind the image of the ultimate adoption story--Jesus. What could be a more powerful testimony to share with adopted children than the story of Jesus--adopted by Joseph as his own?
And now we, as Gentile believers, are also adopted into the Lord's family.
Ephesians 1:4-6 4For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.What joy there is in adoption!!! And what love... hopefully the same love that motivates us to obedience (as I was reminded again in BSF this morning).
"Cause it's time he knew
What a son can do
With a father's love.
He can change the world"
What a son can do
With a father's love.
He can change the world"
