in loving memory...
today is my brother, chris' birthday, he would have been 35 today, had he not taken his own life... in memory of him I want to post my favorite song, it's been such a comfort to me, it's called my Savior my God by aaron shust & the lyrics are amazing & so true, this is his myspace if you want to hear it... http://www.myspace.com/aaronshust
thank you everyone for all of your prayers, love & support through this extremely difficult time in my life & my family's life, to God be the glory...
i am not skilled to understand
what God has willed, what God has planned
i only know at His right hand
stands one who is my Savior
i take Him at His word and deed
Christ died to save me this i read
and in my heart i find a need
for Him to be my Savior
that He would leave His place on high
and come for sinful man to die
you count it strange, so once did i
before i knew my Savior
my Savior loves, my Savior lives
my Savior's always there for me
my God He was, my God He is
my God is always gonna be
yes, living, dying; let me bring
my strength, my solace from this spring
that He who lives to be my King
once died to be my Savior
that He would leave His place on high
and come for sinful man to die
you count it strange, so once did i
before i knew my Savior
my Savior loves, my Savior lives
my Savior's always there for me
my God He was, my God He is
my God is always gonna be
