Monday's Mourning Ministry - Hold My Heart ~Tenth Avenue North







Monday's Mourning Ministry


Hold My Heart


~Tenth Avenue North





Hold My Heart


Tenth Avenue North



How long must I pray, must I pray to You?

How long must I wait, must I wait for You?

How long 'til I see Your face, see You shining through?

I'm on my knees, begging You to notice me.

I'm on my knees, Father will you turn to me?


One tear in the driving rain,

One voice in a sea of pain

Could the maker of the stars

Hear the sound of my breakin' heart?

One light, that's all I am

Right now I can barely stand

If You're everything You say You are

Won't You come close and hold my heart


I've been so afraid, afraid to close my eyes

So much can slip away before I say goodbye.

But if there's no other way, I'm done asking why.

Cuz I'm on my knees, begging You to turn to me

I'm on my knees, Father will you run to me?


One tear in the driving rain,

One voice in a sea of pain

Could the maker of the stars

Hear the sound of my breakin' heart?

One light, that's all I am

Right now I can barely stand

If You're everything You say You are

Won't You come close and hold my heart.


So many questions without answers, Your promises remain

I can't sleep but I'll take my chances to hear You call my name

To hear You call my name


One tear in the driving rain,

One voice in a sea of pain

Could the maker of the stars

Hear the sound of my breakin' heart?

One light, that's all I am

Right now I can barely stand

If You're everything You say You are

Won't You come close and hold my heart.


Hold my heart, could you hold my heart?

Hold my heart.





Today's song, "Hold My Heart" is in appreciation to Danielle Helms who recommended the song through Twitter this week. Amazingly, I first met Danielle through Twitter, and she has become one of my very best friends through our grieving over our girls together. Danielle's Kristin and my Merry Katherine were killed only two weeks and two days apart in 2006. My heart is especially heavy for my friend as she grieves her "teen angel" Kristin this week on what would have been her 20th birthday. My heart and prayers are with you especially this week sweet Danielle, "Sister in The Bond Of The Endless Ache!"



In Honor of

Kristin Danielle Helms

Danielle did an amazing job on this news report, in honor of her 16-yr-old daughter and in hopes of saving some other precious children's lives. Despite her horrific grieving, Danielle shares with the world how her precious daughter's life was destroyed. It's horrifying and incredibly sad to know that even a child born and raised in such a loving Christian home can be susceptible to an internet predator pretending to care for her. Danielle wrote on her 5/31/10 Twitter site:

Goodnight Sun





Goodnight Sun



Goodnight sun

Saying day is done…




Since you’re way up high

In God’s great big sky,

Will you please smile upon

My baby girl up on

Abba Daddy’s lap

Getting her nice long nap…

Give her a warm embrace

Till I can see her face…




Goodnight sun

Saying day is done…





We will wait upon

God to send His Son

Saying Day is done…

But life in Heav’n’s begun!





Goodnight Father-Spirit-Son,

Blessed Three-in-One,

Until my race is run,

May Your blessed will be done…

Until our Day is done,

And Your final Victory’s won!





Goodnight Baby Girl

Sitting atop my world…

Goodnight sun

Saying day is done…

Goodnight Moon



Goodnight Moon



Goodnight Moon

And your red balloon

Goodnight Baby Girl

All...on top of the world...




Goodnight kisses

Blown without misses

"Muah-whoosh" kisses

Full of memories and wishes...

Combing your curly hair,

Hugging like a teddy bear,

Reading Goodnight Moon,

...And now,

you are there...




Now can you see th’ cow

jumpin’ over th’ moon?




Mommy loves you so!

Though she’s down below,

She wants you to know,

"I love you so—

I miss my baby girl so..."




Goodnight Moon

And your red balloon—

Goodnight Baby Girl

All...

on top of this world…





Merry Katherine’s first complete phrase as a tiny tot was an anguished cry:

“My balloon up in the sky!”

when she accidentally let go of her red helium-filled balloon as we got out of the car…



Now, she is rejoined up high in the sky with God, Jesus, and

the Holy Spirit, and

possibly with…her long-lost little red balloon!
