Do you remember "Touched By An Angel" that used to appear on CBS?   One episode featured Wynonna Judd in the role of a mother watching as her son was dying; she was losing faith and hope.  Her son didn't want to leave her alone.  As the angels show up in their lives to help them both let go, her son made a list of things he wanted to complete before he died.  One of those things on his list was to have his mother start writing music again.  The following song is what she sang at the end of the episode.  (The clip is from that particular episode.)  I have included the lyrics beneath the song.

All the colors of the rainbow

All the voices of the wind

Every dream that reaches out

That reaches out to find where love begins

Every word of every story

Every star in every sky

Every corner of creation

Lives to testify

For as long as I shall live

I will testify to love

I'll be a witness in the silences

When words are not enough

 

With every breath I take

I will give thanks to God above

For as long as I shall live

I will testify to love

From the mountains to the valleys

From the rivers to the sea

Every hand that reaches out

Every hand that reaches out to offer peace

Every simple act of mercy

Every step to kingdom come

All the hope in every heart will

Speak what love has done

For as long as I shall live

I will testify to love

I'll be a witness in the silences

When words are not enough

 

With every breath I take

I will give thanks to God above

For as long as I shall live

I will testify to love

This song moves me very deeply.  Of course, it is hard not to get emotional watching this clip.  But take the clip away and just sing along--- there is power in this song.  A true worship song giving Him all the glory!  No matter what!  You can also find a version of this song by Avalon.  I have worn down two CD's listening to this song over and over and over again!

God bless you!!!
