Happy Father's Day
Happy belated Father's Day....
When I got back from the hospital last Thursday, visiting our brother, Ray de Cerce, I felt so strongly about the struggle with cancer that he is going through.
Later that night I was thinking about my dad, Domingo, who passed almost 3 years ago. I envisioned being in an open area, like a meadow, standing in the shade of a large tree in the early afternoon sun. I saw dad, walking towards me and these words came out... "Father, come and rest". Here's the song that came from that vision. The song was completed last Friday, 6/17.
Song - Father Come And Rest - 3.5 MB file
Father come and rest
Let me play you a tune
You’ve been working so hard
That’s what I see
Let me play you a tune
You’ve been working so hard
That’s what I see
Can you stay for awhile
Let me tell you my story
Don’t you know that you are
Important to me.
Let me tell you my story
Don’t you know that you are
Important to me.
Oh, so many times
When I’ve felt all alone
Yes life was harder
Than I’d ever known
When I’ve felt all alone
Yes life was harder
Than I’d ever known
It wasn’t easy, you see
To change my heart
But then I’d think of you…
To change my heart
But then I’d think of you…
Cause you’re my courage, my comfort,
You didn’t have to say much, to reach my soul
My anchor, my mirror
And sometimes, oh sometimes, even my friend.
You didn’t have to say much, to reach my soul
My anchor, my mirror
And sometimes, oh sometimes, even my friend.
No, don’t be sad
Cause my life has not been perfect
And you’ve walked your own road
We are so much the same
Cause my life has not been perfect
And you’ve walked your own road
We are so much the same
I still need you time again
Though I know things have changed
Even though you can’t be here….
Though I know things have changed
Even though you can’t be here….
You're still my courage, my comfort,
You didn’t have to say much, to reach my soul
My anchor, my mirror
And sometimes, oh sometimes...
You didn’t have to say much, to reach my soul
My anchor, my mirror
And sometimes, oh sometimes...
Cause you’re my courage, my comfort,
You didn’t have to say much, to reach my soul
My anchor, my mirror
And sometimes, oh sometimes, even my friend.
You didn’t have to say much, to reach my soul
My anchor, my mirror
And sometimes, oh sometimes, even my friend.
Father, come and rest.
