So I’m going to start a new “thing” here on the blog. Since I can no longer do my weekly progress report I’m going to instead do a “Song of the Week”. Each week I’ll pick a different song. It will depend on my mood, of course. Sometimes, when I feel it is necessesary, the song will be hopeful in nature even if I’m not feeling hopeful myself. Just to inspire me. Or it may be a sadder song. Or it might be a happy, rejoicing song.

This week’s song is “Testify to Love” by Wynonna Judd. This is a very inspirational song, but it’s also a little sad for me. Wynonna is a lovely singer, and her joy really comes through in this song. Let’s hope her spirit rubs off on me this week. While listening to the song, feel free to reflect on the totally awesome picture I took yesterday of the sunset from our backyard. And below are the lyrics to the song, in case you are interested. Just click the “show” link.

All the colors of the rainbow
All the voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
Reaches out to find the love he gave

Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation
Lives to testify

For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I’ll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love

From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace

Every sinful act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the hope in every heart
Will speak what love has done

For as long as I shall live
I will testify to love
I’ll be a witness in the silences
When words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
(I will testify)
I will testify love
(Repeat 2x)
