about

Life is full of moments. There are great moments that are hard to forget—we don't ever want to! There are, of course, really difficult moments that are also hard to forget, no matter how much we might wish we could.

I love the image the words of this song paint. Stains are sometimes messes, other times they are used to bring out deep beauty. That sums up life to me. It's a lot of both kinds of stains. And somehow, it's all beautiful.

Life fully lived, is beautifully stained!

lyrics

Beautifully Stained (2014)

It was the moment you heard the news
The one you’d hoped for was gone
You would never be the same
No matter what would come

It was the moment you saw her face
Something inside you bloomed
This deep assurance within your soul
That she was made for you

These are the moments ...

chorus
Live every moment
Embrace both the joy and the pain
Breathe deep and let it all in
Life fully lived is beautifully stained

It was the moment she took her first breath
And when he played his guitar
Happy hearts sang out laughing at play
Togetherness in the air

It was the moment the pain gripped her face
Another tough day with you
Angry tongues loosed their wearied fury
Nothing now you could do

These are the moments ...
