Last week I posted Dear Younger Me, the video by Mercy Me. Off and on since then I have continued to listen to it.  As it streams, I think of my Grand-babies – they are not younger me(s) but they do have some of those genes if you know what I mean.   :)

And so for them my heart’s cry is Dear Younger You(s) please hear. Please hear that you are loved and the Cross of JESUS is where you will find LIFE and more fun and adventure and purpose that you will find anywhere else!  Listen to an old woman who used to be younger too. While all that was did bring me to where I am, for which I am way grateful!; still there was a more direct path that would have been a lot more fun, adventurous and punctuated with higher purposes.

Dear Younger You(s), try that less traveled path with a genuine heart and you will be glad you did.  Warning though. Let no one convince you it’s a path for sissies or whiners.  Look closely at the lives of those who give you counsel before you heed the words they say — even older me. :)

John 10:10  (NKJV) ¹⁰ The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.  source

Lyrics

He loves to hear the wind sing
As it whistles through the pines on mountain peaks
He loves to hear the raindrops
As they splash to the ground in a magic melody
He smiles in sweet approval
As the waves crash to the rocks in harmony
Creation joins in unity to sing in majestic symphonies

[Chorus:]
But His favorite song of all
Is the song of the redeemed
When lost sinners now made clean
Lift their voices loud and strong
When those purchased by His blood
Lift to Him a song of love
Nothing more He’d rather hear
Nor so pleasing to His ear
As His favorite song of all

He loves to hear the angesls as they sing
“Holy, holy is the Lamb”
(Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb)
Heaven’s choirs sing in harmony
Lift up praises to the great “I Am”
(Hallelujah, Hallelujah)
But He lifts His hands for silence
When the weakest saved by grace begins to sing
And a million angels listen as a newborn soul sings
“I have been redeemed”

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
It’s not just melodies and harmonies
that catches His attention
It’s not clever lines and phrases
that cause Him to stop and listen
But when any heart set free
Washed and bought by Calvary begins to sing

[Chorus]

Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Pursuing Him  ΑΩ
