And the Father will Dance....

For some reason, I recalled the song we sang in high school. Don't remember the rest of the lyrics, but I recall the tune. Not sure why I thought about it either. Been feeling rather out of sorts recently. One thing I'm grateful for is my ability to mask it all with a smile and laughter. Gosh I am an expert at faking, should get a degree.

Thats off topic though....not that there really is a topic.

So the song had to do with God dancing I think, or a father.... (well, can't be any other choice). I just read a blog post about SIDS, a friend of a friend lost her baby girl and this song popped into my head. So I went and googled the lyrics. As I thought, it is in reference to God - should have guessed since it was a chapel song - and it talks about being renewed by God's love. Talks about.... I'll just post the lyrics here:

Refrain:

And the Father will dance as on a day of joy He will exult over you and renew you by His love Verse 1: Shout for joy, all you, His people Sing aloud and exult with all your heart For Yahweh, your God is in your midst. (Refrain) Verse 2: You have no more evil to fear (2x) Do not let your hands fall limp For Yahweh, your God is in your midst. (Refrain) Verse 3: And when the time comes I will rescue the lame And when the time comes I will gather the strays And when the time comes I will be your guide I will gather you in and give you renown Among all peoples (Refrain) Final: He will renew you by His love
It probably has nothing to do with grieve or comfort, but it is what I thought about so thats how it is. I pray the souls of those little infants rest in peace, and God comforts and draws the families unto Himself. The worst tragedy a parent can go through is to bury his or her own child. The worst pain a child can go through, is to bury his or her parent before their time. I pray God's promise is fulfilled in all our lives.
