Singing at Bedtime

One of my favorite times of the day (though there are many) is when Jeremy and I sing a couple of our favorite hymns together to Connor before bedtime.

Last night, we sang "Because He Lives."  We have sung that song many times, but last night, on Mother's Day, the second verse struck me like it never had before.

How sweet to hold a newborn baby

And feel the pride and joy he gives

But greater still, the calm assurance

This child can face uncertain days

Because He lives.

(chorus)

Because He lives

I can face tomorrow.

Because He lives

All fear is gone

Because I know 

He holds the future

And life is worth the living

Just because He lives.

I'm so thankful that Connor can face uncertain days because Jesus Christ lives!  What comfort that brings to me as his mom.
