Alive in Your Loss – Untitled Hymn

Christmas is near.

Of course, search engines have little respect for time, place, or situations… focusing, as they do, merely on the keywords you have supplied them. Loss (read: death) is no respecter of time, place, or situation. And sometimes, a shared holiday tradition will hit us with a sharp reminder of a loss… be it recent, or something you thought was dealt with long ago.

As Christians, we should never trivialize loss. It’s very real. It hurts, and I am sorry for the loss that has brought you here today.

Chris Rice sings a moving song called:

Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus)

It will touch your heart, and might give you some peace. I’ve attached a beautiful video (with lyrics) of the song that Chris Rice first released in 2003.

The song’s lyrics invite us to go to Jesus in a variety of ways. I find that I have come to Jesus singing… I have fallen on Jesus… I have cried to Jesus… I have danced to Jesus…  and at the end of MY days, I pray that I will fly to Jesus… and live!

How have you come to Jesus? Be mindful that each way YOU come to Jesus is reflected out to a lost and hurting world. The world is seeking answers, reassurance, and salvation… that can only happen when they come to Jesus… and live!

Your brother in Christ,

Dave
