I remember that Rich Mullins was one of the first Christian musicians I discovered when God called me back to get serious with Him. Rich's lyrics and simple, pure music appealed to me, and the thoughts and issues he sang about resonated deeply in my soul.
And now it's been ten years since that car accident in Illinois. It's been ten years since God called him Home. It's been ten years of missing his earnest and honest pursuit of his Lord and Savior and the way he shared that with us.
I am very much looking forward to meeting him in heaven one day, to say thank you for helping me love my God and Savior a little better.
"Sometimes By Step" is one of my favorites:
Sometimes the night was beautiful
Sometimes the sky was so far away
Sometimes it seemed to stoop so close
You could touch it but your heart would break
Sometimes the morning came too soon
Sometimes the day could be so hot
There was so much work left to do
But so much You'd already doneCHORUS:
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
Oh God, You are my God
And I will ever praise You
I will seek You in the morning
And I will learn to walk in Your ways
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my daysSometimes I think of Abraham
How one star he saw had been lit for me
He was a stranger in this land
And I am that, no less than he
And on this road to righteousness
Sometimes the climb can be so steep
I may falter in my steps
But never beyond Your reachCHORUS
And I will follow You all of my days
And I will follow You all of my days
And step by step You'll lead me
And I will follow You all of my days
And I will follow You all of my days
(Sometimes the night was beautiful)
And I will follow You all of my days
We still miss you, Rich. See you on the other side of Glory!
