Makenzie and Nathan playing and singing
If I let my thoughts wander, setting them adrift on the breeze of the past, often, they come to rest on Makenzie’s love of music. This morning, they recall a song that sprang from her 6th grade lips every time we were driving in the car. Her favorite — my favorite — FFH’s “One of These Days.”
A snipett of lyrics reads:
One of these days
Gonna see the hand that took the nails for me
One of these days
Gonna hold the key to the mansion built for me
One of these days
Gonna walk the streets of gold that were paved for me
One of these days
I’m gonna see my Savior face to face
One of these days
This morning, my thoughts paint the new lyrics that Makenzie now sings:
Even today
I can see the hand that took the nails for me
Even today
I can hold the key to the mansion built for me
Even today
I’m walking the streets of gold that were paved for me
Even today
I can see my Savior face to face
Even today
I can’t wait to sing the changed lyrics with her. Someday … someday.
Peace,
todd
