Singing Blessings
Meet my grandpa! <3
While my relatives were gathered to celebrate my grandpa’s 85th birthday tonight, somehow I ended up singing a solo to bless my grandfather. As I extended my hands towards him and started singing, my self-consciousness melted away and, instead, the lyrics became my prayer for him:
A long long time ago from a place called heaven
A divine plan was made just for you
With the heart of love, God in heaven looked down upon you and said,
“This is good. With my own hands, I’ve created you more precious than
anything else in this world. You’re my masterpiece, the apple of my eye.
I rejoice because of you, and I love you”
We love you and we bless you.
We pray the love that He’s given us will fill your heart with song.
아주 먼 옛날 하늘에서는 당신을 향한 계획있었죠
하나님께서 바라보시며 좋았더라고 말씀하셨네
이 세상 그 무엇보다 귀하게 나의 손으로 창조하였노라
내가 너로 인하여 기뻐하노라 내가 너를 사랑하노라
사랑해요 축복해요
당신의 마음에 우리의 사랑을 드려요
I was fighting tears while singing—not just because I love my grandpa so much, but also because God loves him infinitely more. And yet, because I’m unsure if my grandpa is a true believer, I don’t know if he knows of God’s love and how perfect, all-consuming, and amazing it is…
“God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” -1 John 4:16
