If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
We nearly always get to see these WITH you at church when we are up in July, so I've seen quite a few of them now. BUT - - - they STILL move me to tears. I LOVE how you baptize whole families together.
ReplyDeleteYep - - - I'm all teared up now just writing about it.
beautiful! inspiring!
ReplyDeleteMoving Mark. I am always humbled when I see your baptism videos. How great is God's love and forgiveness!
ReplyDeleteA friend, Keetha, suggested we watch this on. I have to say that this is one of the most beautiful posts ever. Tears flowed freely as I watched singles, couples, friends and families experience baptism. Thank you for this post. Please give a hug to our Guatemala work team friends, LeeAnn and Tim Conner and all!
ReplyDeleteMark, I have never seen entire familes, or husbands and wives baptized at the same time. I found my sele cheering and praising the Lord with them. Hallelujah!
