Have you ever woken up with a song in your head? You know, a song that is in your mind and just won’t leave you. The song just continues to pop in and permeate your thoughts. This has happened to me many times but none so profound as when my son was fighting cancer. Those songs gave me hope and determination and love. I knew they were messages from God.  On the day after my son died, I heard the song, “Carry on Wayward Son,” by Kansas and from that day I know my son is close to me whenever I hear that song.

Recently, I have been hearing George Harrison’s, “Give Me Love,” in the  morning when I wake up. in his autobiographic book, “I, Me, Mine,” George Harrison described this song as a prayer and a personal statement between himself, the Lord, and whoever likes it.  If you don’t know the lyrics, here they are:

Give me love
Give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light
Give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope
Help me cope, with this heavy load
Trying to, touch and reach you with,
Heart and soul
Om m m m m m m m m m m m m
M m m my lord
Please take hold of my hand, that
I might understand you
Won’t you please
Oh won’t you
Give me love
Give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light
Give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope
Help me cope, with this heavy load
Trying to, touch and reach you with,
Heart and soul
Om m m m m m m m m m m m m m
M m m my lord
Please take hold of my hand, that
I might understand you

I have no doubt hearing the song in my head is an answer to a prayer.  Every time I hear this song it takes me to a place of peace and love and I feel closer to God.  So, pay attention to the song in your head, it may be an answer to your prayer or a prayer you need to sing.   Thank you, George Harrison for this beautiful song.

 

On a personal note, I would like to give a special thank you to all the people I received Christmas cards from that expressed how much this blog means to them. Those notes meant more than you will ever know.
