It has been a while since I have blogged or recorded any
music. I have continued to write but
haven’t had much time or energy to do much with it.
I am in my last days of pregnancy as today is my due date, and
though I am ready to meet our little boy (and move on from this aching, overstuffed body) I am feeling the urgency to accomplish much before there is a
baby in my arms.
I wrote this song early in the days of when we were still
struggling with the initial injury and surgery of Will’s knee and the changes
that occurred in our lives as a result of that incident.
I have to admit…I couldn’t imagine any different way to
spend the first part of this year than the way we did. We were two stay at home parents with two amazing
kids getting our full attention, and we were overwhelmed by God’s abundant provision through multiple means. He truly blessed us in ways
unimaginable! I would not have changed
this time a bit! We grew so much in our
faith, in our marriage, and as parents.
The one area in our life that has remained constant is our
reliance on Jesus. He has held us in
every moment and as we reflect during this Eastertime, we especially focus on
His sacrifice for us. I cannot help but
sit in awe and reverence over such a love.
It is unfathomable and so undeserved.
But He has displayed all authority in just His name alone. What wonders will be when we utter it or cry
it out? Never underestimate the power of
His name and work in our lives!
Neither
is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven
given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Acts 4:12
As a special treat Sam and Elsa sang an intro and outro to
this song…a very familiar tune to anyone raised in the church.
I also have been working on my piano skills…so this is my
first song written and recorded with a piano…which still needs to be tuned!
May our Lord
Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us
eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and
strengthen you in every good deed and word.
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
Only Jesus
Becki J Buescher
When days are dim I call on
Jesus
If not for Him I would not be
When trials find me I’ll be
wanting
His gentle, loving hand of peace
So do not fear, do not be
weary
His yoke is easy, burden
light
My
soul at last will quench its yearning
As I rest in His great might
Until my eyes no longer see the sun
Until my body bids me good night
Until my lungs give up their final breath
My hope will rest on one
My Jesus, Only Jesus
My redeemer and my joy
And if words just fail to come
May my lips find strength for one
Jesus, Only Jesus,
Je - sus
