Beautiful lyrics (even better with music!): (UPDATED - new link, and the rest of the lyrics)
Take a look at the mountain
Stretching a mile high
Take a look at the ocean
Far as your eye can see
And think of MeTake a look at the desert
Do you feel like a grain of sand?
I am with you wherever
Where you go is where I amAnd I'm always thinking of you
Take a look around you
I'm spelling it out one by one(Chorus)
I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine, and you shine for Me too
I love you yesterday and today
And tomorrow, I'll say it again and again
I love you moreJust a face in the city
Just a tear on a crowded street
But you are one in a million
And you belong to MeAnd I want you to know
That I'm not letting go
Even when you come undone(Chorus)
I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine, and you shine for Me too
I love you yesterday and today
And tomorrow, I'll say it again and again
I love you moreShine for Me
Shine for Me
Shine on, shine on
Shine for Me(Chorus)
I love you more than the sun
And the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine, and you shine for Me too
I love you yesterday and today
And tomorrow, I'll say it again and again
I love you moreThan the sun
and the stars that I taught how to shine
You are mine, and you shine for me too
I love you, yesterday and today
Through the joy and the pain
I'll say it again and again
I love you more
I love you moreAnd I see you
And I made you
And I love you more than you can imagine
More than you can fathom
I love you more than the sun
And you shine for Me(All emphasis mine - R'cat)
God's love constantly astonishes me. It is amazing how patient, how kind, and how gracious He is to me - to all humanity!
How easy it would be to love Him and praise Him at all times, if we were to keep our minds and hearts focused on the depth and breadth of His faithfulness, holiness, and mercy. As the beautiful old hymn proclaims: "Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing/ My great Redeemer's praise,/ The glories of my God and King,/ The triumphs of His grace!"

Thank you. Once again. "I needed that."
Just got off the phone with the White House contact line. Moderating my tone was difficult. As I reviewed my concerns about the President's "Vicente Fox's lapdog" proposals with the operator, I managed to convey my deep, deep disapointment, almost grief, that I can no longer extend respect to George W. Bush, the man, because of his bald-faced lying Monday night along with his plea for respectful discourse (wile showing profound disrespect for legions of Americans).
*sigh*
And then... and then you come along and lend some much-needed perspective. Thanks you. Thank you very much.

David, my dear friend, it is my pleasure and my honor.
Remember - "Let not your heart be troubled..." God is in control, and all we need to do is what He has put before us.
We know the Ending!
