Monday's Mourning Ministry

A Thousand Years

~Christina Perri

A precious mother/grandmother wrote me this week, telling me about her only daughter being killed while going out for a run just after they had arrived at their vacation home. This mother/grandmother was left behind to watch over her daughter's two toddler boys while she took a jog down a lovely road next to the picturesque lake, getting her exercise and enjoying the scenery when suddenly, unbeknownst to her, a doctor, while driving his car, fell asleep at the wheel and crossed over into the next lane of traffic, his runaway vehicle then hurdling straight into the jogging/biking lane to hit this mother's precious daughter from behind...

Her daughter, almost 30, was 8 months pregnant with what would be her only daughter, and her mother's only granddaughter. Both were killed instantly...

My heart breaks for this heart-broken mother, as well as for each of us heart-broken mommies and daddies. The mother made a video of her daughter's life which included the song below. I can just hear this young mother, a strong Christian young woman, singing this song from Heaven to her baby girl, now with her, and back to earth to her grieving young boys...

~May God bless them all. And may God bless us all...

A Thousand Years

~Christina Perri

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
