One of My Favorite Songs

I started listening to this song a lot last year. I loved the message and the tune. It made Ashton laugh when I'd play it over and over again, which happened a lot. Thankfully, he didn't get sick of it because I have yet to grow tired of it. I don't have to play it now though because I have it memorized and can sing it. I started singing it to David when he'd get fussy or when I wanted him to fall asleep and he was resisting. It's become David's favorite song and I'll sing it to him when he's sad or tired or both. It's soothing for both of us. The song is called, "Window to His Love" and it's by Julie de Azevedo. There are two slightly different versions of this song, but they are both really good. I cannot adequately explain why I love this song so much, but what this song talks about is what I want to accomplish as a mom and if I can even achieve a small fraction of it, I'll be happy.

I want to be a window to His love,
So when you look at me you will see Him.
I want to be so pure and clear that you won't even know I'm here,
'Cause His love will shine brightly through me.

I want to be a doorway to the truth,
So when you walk beyond you will find Him.
I want to stand so straight and tall, that you won't notice me at all.
But through my open door He will be seen.

A window to His love.
A doorway to the truth.
A bearer of the message He'd have me bring to you
And with each passing day
I want to fade away.
'Till only He can be seen and I become a window to His love.

I want to be a window to His love,
So you can look through me and you'll see Him.
And some day shining through my face, you'll see His loving countenance,
'Cause I will have become like He is.

A window to His love.
A doorway to the truth.
A bearer of the message He'd have me bring to you
And with each passing day
I want to fade away.
'Till only He can be seen and I become...

A window to His love
A doorway to the truth.
A bearer of the message He'd have me bring to you.
And with each passing year
I want to disappear
'Till He's become ev'rything
and I've become a window to His love.
