Singing with Hannah

Yesterday, God gave me an unexpected and most precious gift!  It was my Sunday to sing and I had wrestled with what to sing for weeks.  I didn't have a clear answer so I kept praying.  I finally had decided that I was going to sing, "God Speaking" by Mandisa.  I love this song but it still didn't feel right in my spirit. 

Saturday morning, I purchased and downloaded the track for Christy Nockles, "Waiting Here for You."  The track was released recently and this song can be heard almost daily around our house.  I asked Hannah if she thought she might like to sing it with me in church one day.  She tried it, I nearly cried, and we sang it yesterday morning together.

Hannah told me that she was nervous, but you couldn't tell.  She was absolute grace under pressure, I should say covered in grace under pressure.  She sang beautifully...way beyond her years. She chose to sing the first verse of the song and I marvelled at this beautifully young lady standing beside me.  Joy filled my heart to overflowing as she sang to her Saviour, not only with her mouth, but with her heart too...that is my favorite kind of singing any day. 

I treasured every second of singing with her.  What a precious gift from the Lord.  If you haven't heard this beautiful song, please listen to this video of Christy Nockles singing it at this year's Passion conference:
