take me to church

Some days I totally lose all my marbles in church.  Like, straight up crying like a maniac where Adam has to leave and go get me Kleenex from the bathroom.  It was like this long before my dad died, but in this case, at this song, at that moment in time, it had everything to do with my dad.  Our Pastor has recently lost his father as well, just a few months before I lost my own.  And he refers to him often, and his whole sermon was basically about him 2 weeks ago.  From beginning to end, I sobbed.  For I know, I am not the only one who feels this pain.  And I know, the people in my life who haven't felt it, will know that pain one day and what it's like.  And I hate that they will have to experience it too and really, truly know it.  The lyrics spoke to my heart, and still do just a couple weeks later.

"the testing of your faith produces perseverance, consider it pure JOY in the midst of pain"

All My Tears
Jars of Clay

When I go, don't cry for me
In my Father's arms, I'll be
And wounds this world left on my soul
Will all be healed and I'll be whole

Sun and moon will be replaced
With the light of Jesus' face
And I will not be ashamed
For my Savior knows my name

It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears, be washed away

Gold and silver blind the eye
Temporary riches lie
Come and eat from Heaven's store
Come and drink and thirst no more

'Cos it don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears, be washed away

So weep not for me, my friends
When my time below does end
For my life belongs to Him
Who will raise the dead again

It don't matter where you bury me
'Cos I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears, be washed away
