           ONE DAY AT A TIME

Songs for the Sabbath- Names

7/31/2016

​Today I want to share my thoughts on God, our Heavenly Father.  Whenever I think of a song that portrays Heavenly Father in the way that I imagine him, I immediately think of "Names" by Cherie Call.

Names- Cherie Call

He's been known throughout time by so many names
Creator of worlds and the ruler of all
And I do not disagree with the ones I have heard
Like The First and The Last, and Wonderful
Eternal and Endless, Provider and King,
And His Majesty
But when I think of the hundreds of prayers that I've prayed
There are so many more that I'd add to these, like

Mathematician, Concert Musician, Master Physician
and Listening Friend
Who knows all about cars, and my fragile heart
So the best name would still have to be
Heavenly Father

When I'm helping a friend He has sharpened my mind
When I've asked that my lips could say all the right things
He can part the Red Sea and still keep me from shaking
When I've prayed that my hands could hit all the right strings
He has always been there to handle the big things
But He can still find a way
To help me with tricky equations and dark twisty highways
And children with fevers
I know I can pray to the

Mathematician, Concert Musician, Master Physician
and Listening Friend
Who knows all about cars, and my fragile heart
So the best name would still have to be
Heavenly Father

And isn't it just what a father would do
Helping His children with all that He knew
And then using His wisdom to step back sometimes
On some of the answers we're just meant to find for ourselves

So we can be mathematicians, concert musicians,
Mothers, physicians, and listening friends
And we can learn about cars, and we can heal broken hearts
With the love that we've learned first hand
From a Heavenly Father
God is so much more than the master of the universe to me.
He is my Heavenly Father.
He created me in His image.
He loves me.
He wants the best for me.
He knows me.

In all that I do and all that I say, I want to make Him happy.
I care what He thinks of me and the choices that I make.
I know that He loves me as I am, but I also know that He wants me to be a better person than I am.
I know that He is grateful when I am a good person, but He is more grateful when I take that goodness and use it to do all that He has asked me to do and when I ​​keep the covenants that I have made with Him.

I am a daughter of a Heavenly Father who loves me and knows who I am.

Knowing that gives me courage to face each day, power to overcome the distractions and temptations that I am faced with, and fills me with confidence and power.
He knows me

    Every day is an opportunity to do good and to be a little better than the day before.
     I love being a mommy.
     It's my favorite thing in this world and my most important job.
