untidy world

It’s been a week with a trip to the ER, crashing lap tops and little sleep. I learned that my preschooler responds to steriod therapy with near mania.

Rock on.

Tomorrow night we’re launching our Home Team ministry (Non-Grace Members, you are welcome to visit the website, but please don’t leave comments, thanks.) . I’m making up for some lost time tonight and was blessed by our song writer Bill Mason’s lyrics as I worked on the PPT slides. His song untidy world is so filled with Grace and a realization no matter how hard we try we can’t press out the wrinkles of our families.

Thanks, Bill for writing what I think is your best song ever.

Untidy World 
 

Jiggle on the handle, shut the door tight,

Get on your knees to say good night.

Got clothes on the floor 5 feet deep,

Can’t find your bed so how can you sleep? 

Live in a world just like an X box,

You don’t care if there’s holes in your sox.

Didn’t do y’ homework, the dog ate your bag,

Stayed up too late now morning’s a drag. 

Your Barbie lost a leg and all its clothes,

Your teacher caught you picking y’ nose!

Your Daddy said, “No TV tonight!”

You went upstairs got into a fight! 

Chorus 1 : You maybe a girl, you maybe a boy

                    You maybe short and you maybe tall

                    You may trip over and you may fall

                    God still lives in your untidy world 

Stuffed animals prowl from each shelf in your room,

Monster’s there playing a tune.

If you loose your Bible, and loose your prayer,

God still loves and He does care. 

He says come home to me the way you are,

I’ll let you ride in my Heavenly car.

We’ll go on and on till the new world’s done,

You have a secret name my daughter, my son. 

Chorus 1

Final  Chorus   You maybe a girl, you maybe a boy

                          You maybe short and you maybe tall

                          You may trip over and you may fall

                          God still loves you in your untidy world
