Lost in Memphis

Just arrived in Memphis to learn my flight (Delta) to Knoxville is delayed by 2 hours, but this time I’m fine.  I had such a great trip to Tampa, enjoyed RC’s, Matt’s, David’s, Brad’s, and Adam’s company so much I feel just fine.  I’m thrilled with the new website/blog and I’m learning more and more as I post and work on it.  That’s not the main reason I’m feeling so great.  I’m going home to  my bride and that’s fantastic but that’s not it either, no on the plane ride up form Tampa I listened to some music on my iPad and one song really hit me hard, it inspired me.  I’m going to sahare the lyrics below, but please go find this song on iTunes and be as blessed as I was.  The song is perfomed by Phil Driscol and Debbie Boone and it’s really a great song, the title is , Keep the Fire Burning.

Here are the lyrics:

Lord, i find myself needing you like i have never before,
in all of the darkness around me,
everyday my hunger’s growing more.
Iit’s clear to me now, You are my only refuge,
my port in a troubled sea, help me to give my life
completely to You and make me only
what you want me to be,

Lord just keep the flame burning in my heart,
light my way with the fire of Your Spirit,
keep the flame burning in my heart and let it
spread to whoever comes near it
Lord, just keep the flame burning in my heart

Children, He knows what you are going through,
He suffered more than you’ll ever know,
He is drawing us closer and closer to him,
He’ll be back soon, woh, woh, you got to get ready to go

well, there is no time for complacency,
there is no room for compromise,
just walk straight and strong cause it won’t be
long till we see Him split the eastern skies

Lord just keep the flame burning in our hearts,
light our way with the fire of Your spirit,
keep the flame burning in our hearts and let it
spread to whoever comes near it
Lord, just keep the flame burning in our hearts

This is a great song, and it begs the question is there anything more important than keeping the flame burning.  Just as they keep the flame burning for Elvis in Memphis I’m keeping my heart on fire for my Lord.

Have a wonderful day, I think I’ll go get some Memphis Bar-B-Q!

Blessings,

the pilgrim
