I loved this version of The Blessing so much as it includes the very land from which this blessing came. Both the cinematic and vocal quality are beautiful but more than this; its core message needs to be heard over and over. Our world is tore and shaken and wounded in so may ways and so I pray again – May the Lord bless you and keep you this Sunday and may He give you peace through Jesus Christ both now and always!
Israel
Places Where I’ve Been
I have not been to Israel
Or seen its Holy sites
Nor to the Sea of Galilee
Where Christ taught wrong from right
But His voice that calmed the storm
Has spoken in my mind
And those hands that healed the sick
Have gently taken mine
Then He called me to Himself
And He Said this is the Way
Sins forgiven
Hope renewed
He walks with me today!

A Holy Land Tour
Though my wife and I have been blessed to travel a bit when we were younger, we have always wanted to see the Holy Land. These days most of our traveling outside of going to church revolves around the doctor, the gym and the grocery store and I am wondering if we will ever see more than just photographs. No boo-hooing going on here because I know that going to Jerusalem is inevitably on our Lord’s travel destination for us whether in this life or the next. With that thought in mind here is a little poem I wrote a couple of years back which I revised a bit and I pray it may bless your day:
The Places Where I’ve been
I have not been to Israel
Or seen its Holy sites
Nor to the Sea of Galilee
Where You taught us wrong from right
But Your voice that calmed the storm
Has spoken in my mind
And Your hands that healed the sick
Have gently taken mine
Then You called me to Yourself
And You Said You were The Way
Forgave my sin
Renewed my Hope
And walked with me today!
