Daughter of the King

Jesus draw me ever nearer
As I labour through the storm.
You have called me to this passage,

and I'll follow, though I'm worn.

May this journey bring a blessing,
May I rise on wings of faith;

And at the end of my heart's testing,

With Your likeness let me wake.

Jesus guide me through the tempest;
Keep my spirit staid and sure.
When the midnight meets the morning,

Let me love You even more.

May this journey bring a blessing,
May I rise on wings of faith;

And at the end of my heart's testing,

With Your likeness let me wake.

Let the treasures of the trial

Form within me as I go -

And at the end of this long passage,

Let me leave them at Your throne.

May this journey bring a blessing,

May I rise on wings of faith;

And at the end of my heart's testing,

With Your likeness let me wake.

That is the beautiful song, by the Getty's called 'Jesus, Draw me Ever Nearer'. I have fallen in with that song, and this morning and evening at church, *Jane* and I sang it as a duet. Then, this morning, Becca also sang, 'God is so Good' during the offering. She did wonderful! After church this morning, *Jane* invited me to her house, which I gladly accepted. We hung out for a bit, then we went to Walmart, watching 'The Lion King 1 1/2' on the way there and back. This evening at church Mom and I sang the song that we wrote together, called, 'Thank You, Lord'. I almost fainted, but it went well. Walt, our music director wants us to sing it next Sunday morning. *groan* Hope I don't faint then! Well, tomorrow is school, so I gotta got to get some sleep.



Yours truly,
