Because He lives!

Today, we went to Eagle's Nest church. It is in Kampala near the babies' home. The building was much larger than the one last week and had a tin roof, cement floors, and oscillating fans mounted on the sides of the ceilings.

The majority of the 2 hour service was worship with a large worship team accompanied by an electric piano and drums. Some songs were in lugandan, most were in English. There was a mixture of tunes I knew and ones I didn't. All of them were beautiful and sung with very loud heartfelt emotion.

One of the first songs brought me to tears. After joining in the song for a little while, I realized that it was one of my Mom's favorite hymns: because He lives. I was amazed that I was half way across the world, singing a song that she loved! And it is as the lyrics say, because He lives, I can worship my God in America or in Uganda and someday even in heaven with her!

We serve a mighty God who lives in the hearts if His people all over the world.

Because He lives
I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives
All fear is gone
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
