God Speaking

Have you ever heard a love song
That set your spirit free
Have you ever watched a sunrise
And felt you could not breathe
What if it's Him
What if it's God speaking
Have you ever cried a tear that
You could not explain
Have you ever met a stranger
That already knew your name
What if it's Him
What if it's God speaking

Who knows how He'll get a hold of us
Get our attention to prove He is enough
He'll do and He'll use
Whatever He wants to
To tell us I love you

Have you ever lost a loved one
Who you thought should still be here
Do you know what it feels like
To be tangled up in fear
What if He's somehow involved
What if He's speaking through it all

His ways are higher
His ways are better
Though sometimes strange
What could be stranger
Than God in a manger

God is speaking
I love you

I LOVE this entire song, and it always seems to speak to me, but the line or two that has stuck out to me this afternoon has been. "Have you ever lost a loved one. Who you thought should still be here." the reason these stick out are because today is my best friend, Craig Lucas', birthday. His birthday would have been today if he hadn't of passed away 4 years ago in January. Sometimes we don't understand, and there are many many times that I think he should still be here on this earth, but as the song reminds us.."His ways are higher..." Craig and I used to do EVERYTHING together. That's how closer our friendship was. I actually still keep up with his family, and going to have supper with them on Friday. We have many memories together, both happy and sad. So I just wanted to write this, and say Happy Birthday Craig..we think about you often, and you are certainly missed.
