Through the Eyes of a Son (by Naaman Jeffery Renard)

If any of you have been following my blogs, and it doesn't look like too many have, you would know that one of the first entries was a note about our friend and fellow missionary, Elaine Lambach. The death of Elaine had a strong impact on our second son, Naaman.

God touched his heart and he wrote the following song as a dedication to Elaine. My prayer for Naaman is that he will always have a sensitive heart for those who are hurting or in need. Jesus said, "for as much as you did it unto even the least of these, you did it unto me" (Matthew 25:40). Naaman, may you always be sensitive to "the least of these".

Through the Eyes of a Son (by Naaman Jeffery Renard):

Today, I woke up kinda sad,
Remembering all the, times that we spent together,
You were there seemed like forever, and now
You're gone in such a flash,
No time to react, I wish I could go back.
I'm stuck here, can anybody hear me?

Feels like, I can't take it,
Seems like, I won't make it,
I know, you're with me anyway

I know, I did all I could do,
I sat and prayed for you with our family,
For mercy and for healing, but still,
These feelings I can't hide,
They're tearing my inside,
Mom I need you.
Shedding tears, God can you hear me?

And then, God you stepped right in,
You simply said, Son have no worries,
Your mom has been made perfect here with me.
Peaceful heart, God you make me

Feel like, I can take it,
Seem like, I'm gonna make it,
I know, You're with me anyway
And it feels like, I'm gonna take it,
It seems like, I'm gonna make it,
And I know, You're with me everyday.
