Third Day

You may remember that I posted an entry about how much Trenton loves music. He is so passionate about singing. Our family loves the music of Third Day and recently we borrowed the Chronology CD from the library. It came with videos. Oh, the fun our family had watching that video! Trenton, seeing the live performances, has been propelled forward in his own music and performing. He is singing the words to "Cry out to Jesus" and "Holy, Holy, Holy" with so much enthusiasm.
(It's been a good reminder about how much kids absorb and remember. We only watched the video twice.)
All this to say, I emailed Third Day (the "contact us" link) and the fan coordinator, "Mama Gomer" emailed me back! Third Day is going to be near our area in the spring and we are trying to see if we can actually meet them! "Mama Gomer" (who is as sweet as can be) said for me to email the pictures of Trenton playing and singing and that she would forward them to the band. How exciting!! It would be super fun to meet them and of course, we'd take Trenton's guitar. Maybe they'd let him play on stage with them...okay, I may be asking too much! :)

I don't know what God has in store for Trenton, however our prayer is that Trenton would give his heart to the Lord, love Him with everything he has, and serve Him all the days of his life. (We pray the same for our girls.) As much as Trenton loves music...well...we'll just have to wait and see.

Here are the lyrics to "Cry Out to Jesus" which touches a deep cord within me.

Cry Out To Jesus - Third Day (2005)

To everyone who's lost someone they love
long before it was their time.
You feel like the days you had were not enough
when you said goodbye.

And to all of the people with burdens and pains
keepin' you back from your life.
You believe that there's nothing
and there is no one who can make it right.

There is hope for the helpless, rest for the weary,
and love for the broken hearts.
There is grace and forgiveness, mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are.

Cry out to Jesus. Cry out to Jesus.

For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on
They lost all of their faith in love.
and they've done all they can to make it right again
still it's not enough.

For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains
you try to give up but you come back again.
Just remember that you're not alone
in your shame and your suffering.

There is hope for the helpless, rest for the weary,
and love for the broken hearts.
There is grace and forgiveness, mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are.

Cry out to Jesus.

When you're lonely and it feels like the whole world is falling on you
you just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus

Cry to Jesus.

To the widow who suffers from being alone,
wipin' the tears from her eyes.
For the children around the world without a home,
say a prayer tonight.

There is hope for the helpless, rest for the weary,
and love for the broken hearts.
There is grace and forgiveness, mercy and healing
that meets you wherever you are.
There is hope for the helpless, rest for the weary,
and love for the broken hearts.
There is grace and forgiveness, mercy and healing
that meets you wherever you are.

Cry out to Jesus. Cry out to Jesus.

Cry out to Jesus. Cry out to Jesus.
