Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!

Honor to God for all things great and small. Praise God for food and shelter and for decent clothing. Praise God for an earned income.  Praise God for work and leisure. Praise God for relative health. Praise God for peace of mind. Praise God for living in a country where I am free to worship the God of my parents and grandparents, the Creator of all things great and small.

Thank you God for my late mother, Ozzie Hoots, and for the invaluable life lessons I learned from her.  It was she who introduced me to and taught me about Jesus.  It was she who taught me to read and to reason. It was she who introduced me to the arts and made me aware of the value of different cultures. It was she who inspired me to volunteer and to want to help make the world better. It was through her that I developed an understanding of humans as 3-diminsional beings: body, soul, and spirit. Thank you for using my mother’s life to help me understand that each of us is deeper than what the world sees. Thank you for using my mother to help teach me about your amazing grace and love for all humankind! Thank you God for my mother-Ozzie Hoots!

Lyrics for Today

My soul loves Jesus, my soul loves Jesus. My soul loves Jesus, bless His name. My soul loves Jesus. My soul loves Jesus. My soul loves Jesus. Bless his name.

He is a wonder in my soul. He is a wonder in my soul. He is a wonder in my soul. Bless His name. He is a wonder in my soul. He is a wonder in my soul. He is  a wonder in my soul. Bless His name!

Jesus I’ll never forget what you’ve done for me.

Jesus I’ll never forget how you set me free. Jesus I’ll ever forget how you brought me out.

Jesus I’ll never forget, no never.

I’m running for my life. I’m running for my life. I’m running for my life, I’m running for my life.

If anyone should ask you what’s the matter with me, just tell them she saved, sanctified, Holy Ghost

filled, and fire baptized. She’s got Jesus on her side and she is running for her life.

When I think about the goodness of Jesus and all that He has done for me my soul cries out HALLELUJAH.  I thank God for saving me.
