A tribute to my Lord, via Celine Dion
I am a super-fan (of both!), and I saw the diva in concert this week!
Celine’s hand alternatively reaches up to clench the air then pounds her chest as she belts out the tunes. She plays a ridiculous air guitar and mesmerizes the crowd with dramatic facial expressions as photos from throughout the years of her career flashed on the screens. And all the while, as I sing along to these songs of love, I think of my Lord.
That’s right –
It’s all coming back to me now
I thank him:
For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
…
I’m everything I am
Because you loved me
Because of him, I can say:
I’m Alive!
There are times when I doubt or neglect him, and I wonder if indeed
My heart will go on
He promises me:
J’irai chercher ton coeur si tu l’emportes ailleurs
I promise him :
Je trouverai des langages pour chanter tes louanges
He invites me:
But what do you say to taking chances,
What do you say to jumping off the edge?
I respond:
We’re heading for something
Somewhere I’ve never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I’m ready to learn
Of the power of love
… I’m your lady !
I will follow anywhere he leads:
If you asked me to
He reminds me:
I’m the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
And he urges me:
Let me be the one to love you more
