Send Me!

So today my mom isn't feeling so great. Today she reminded me of how she used to feel a few years ago before we knew she was sick.


For a little history, my mom was diagnosed w/ cancer when I was in 5th Grade. God grew me through that time, and I learned how to truly trust him. When the doctors diagnosed her, they weren't very optimistic. God made me rely on him, because my parents were trying to find their own footholds. It's then I believe that I learned about my personal God rather than my parents "God". He became my strength and courage in a time of need.


In the song I made I thought of Isaiah and how he asked God to send him. I had that feeling when God brought me through my trial. That's what I think courage also is. It's the ability to face a trial, pick yourself up again, and say "God, I'm ready to fight again. Be my strength."


In the midst of a trial, I don't believe that I can feel myself being courageous. I think it's when you look back at it and think "Hey, I think God built a little more courage in me."

Sorry about the dubbing and all. Took me awhile to figure this out. I don't have the greatest voice or anything, but this song has meant a lot to me over the years. O yeah and the blond hair is going to be gone soon. It looks weirder and weirder everyday.

Here's the lyrics:
The doctor comes he says I'm sorry sonny,
But there's something wrong with your mommy,
She's got cancer in her tummy,
and I sit and I say Why me?
Chorus:
And I sing,
My God, He's greater than you, He's greater than me,
He's greater than I'll ever be,
He's greater than life, He's greater than death,
Greater than my strife and than my stress,
He's greater than my thoughts, Greater than my actions,
Greater than my doubts and than my sins,
He's greater than you, He's greater than me,
He's greater than I'll ever be
Verse 2:
The doctor comes, says her cancer is aggressive,
He didn't give her much longer to live,
I asked my God, what can I do, what can I say?
He said surrender and obey
and I sit and I say Why me?
Chorus
Verse 3:
A few years later,
She's getting better,
My God is greater,
He's brought me farther,
Than I'd ever know,
Farther than I'd ever go,
And now I sit and now I say send me!
Chorus
