A FAMILY SONG

KeyWords: Bible Characters,

I thought I'd sing you a Family song,
The kind that helps you make it through the night.
Just a simple little Family song,
The kind that makes you feel real good inside.

I wanna tell you how happy
I am when I am singing to you all,
And I'll love you forever
For helping me to make it after all.

Chorus:
I've been through the desert,
A dry and thirsty land;
And I've been stranded in the valley,
But I reached out and grabbed hold of Somebody's hand.

That's why I love to write Family songs,
The ones that ease your mind and touch your heart.
Non-intellectual, emotional,
Songs that make us close
Though far apart.

I guess I never could understand
Why Jesus loved us all
When we're so bad,
But I guess that He knows us well,
And loves us 'cause we're just about all He had.

Second Chorus:
But we had to go through the desert,
A dry and thirsty land;
And we were stranded in the valley
Until we reached up and grabbed hold of Somebody's hand.

[Repeat first and second verses]

Third Chorus:
I've been through the desert,
A dry and thirsty land;
And I was stranded in the valley
Till I reached out and grabbed hold of Jesus' hand.

[Repeat third verse]

Oh, yes, I love those songs that make us close
Though far apart.
