Dance with Me Daddy: Words That Turn Your Mourning Into Joyful Dancing

NOW AND THEN

I’ve played in summer sunshine

and I’ve been left out in the rain.

I’ve known moments of sweet ecstasy

and I’ve lived with fear and pain.

I’ve run barefoot through meadow

and nearly drowned in tear-filled streams;

but even in the worst of times

I’ve clung

by faith

to dreams.

And so, my friend,

I thank the Lord

for all He’s brought me through.

If I hadn’t been where I was then

I couldn’t be here now with you.

“I will never forget your commandments,

for you have used them to restore my joy and health.”

Psalms 119:93
