My theme song....

My current 'theme song' came on in the car whilst I was driving home tonight and it suddenly dawned on me that it would only be able to be my theme song for the next 2 months, and then I'd have to get a new one.

To be honest, I've never really had a theme song before, but about a week after my 26th birthday (last June) God clearly spoke to me through the lyrics of this song....you can probably work out the sort of thing He was saying to me.....it's not that complicated!

It makes me a little sad that the phrase 'twenty seven summers' doesn't fit the melody, but perhaps that's the point. I'm sure there will be new songs that God speaks to me through in my 27th year, however until then I shall enjoy this song for the next two months, remembering God's total overriding sovereignty and hand in everything I do.

Twenty-six Summers (Vicky Beeching)

I don't know what the future holds
Or what lies beyond my horizon
The years ahead are just out of sight
Well, I think sometimes that You hide them
So that I'll walk by faith not sight
So I'll take Your hand, holding tight

Through twenty-six summers
And twenty-six winters
I've laughed in the springtime
I've cried in the rain
Though I've questioned the meaning
Of some of life's seasons
It's true that they've left me holding on
Tighter to You

My one desire for the road ahead
Is that we would walk it together
Friend and King, You're my everything
May I stay by Your side forever
For when my heart's afraid, You're near
Whispering to my soul, 'don't fear'

And I will trust in You alone
For You're the hand leading me home
Leading me home.

I've spent twenty-six summers
And twenty-six winters with You
Through all of the seasons
And my search for reasons
You've carried me through
I will keep holding on to You
