heaven

I had left my alarm on accidentally, and walking down the hall I heard this song playing softly:

Bless the Lord, oh my soul, oh my soul, worship His holy name
Sing like never before, oh my soul, worship His holy name...

Just that, and I turned the radio off and went about my business to the work at hand.

My cousin had tried calling, which was strange.  I think I was beginning to suspect...

So when my dad called some time later, I wasn't really that surprised.

And throughout that weekend at the hospital, this song held with me.  Just those two lines I had heard in the morning.  As I walked through the corridors to the parking garage where my car was waiting.  As held my grandma's hand and looked into her eyes.  As I sat in her quiet room and simply watched her sleep.

Not a constant song, but persistent.  Just when my mind began to wander, I would find the song was there.  Reminding.  And comforting.

So I'll share the song with you with a video I found on YouTube.
