Today, I\u2019m taking you back to 1964. I know I didn\u2019t hear this song that year, but soon after. It became a popular song at camp, at youth group and as a special number in a worship service.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cHe\u2019s Everything to Me\u201d not only had a wonderful melody that was easy to sing and calmed a spirit, but the words drew us into the message. God is a great big wonderful God. Yes, this is true. But until I was touched personally by this wonderful God, it really didn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So take a look at the words and maybe listen to the song. \u201cHe\u2019s Everything to Me\u201d makes my list for all-time favorites.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s Everything to Me\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the stars His handiwork I see,
\nOn the wind He speaks with majesty,
\nThough He ruleth over land and sea,
\nWhat is that to me?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I will celebrate Nativity,
\nfor it has a place in history
\nSure, He came to set His people free
\nWhat is that to me?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Till by faith I met Him face to face
\nand I felt the wonder of his grace
\nThen I knew that He was more
\nthan just a God who didn’t care
\nThat lived a way out there<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And now He walks beside
\nme day by day,
\nEver watching over me lest I stray,
\nHelping me to find that narrow way
\nHe’s Everything To Me.[i]<\/a><\/p>\n

If you click on the following link, you\u2019ll hear a great version of this song. I have no idea what movie it was in, but it was so good, I knew it was the video I had to share with you. Enjoy! http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0S5AknvJAUU<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meeting Jesus face to face and feeling (knowing) His grace. Having a personal relationship with Jesus and spending time with Him. Allowing His Spirit to lead and guide us. That is what life is about. That is the message we are to share with others.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve recently been pointed to a phrase in Colossians that has taken on new meaning for me. See if you don\u2019t feel the same.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In Colossians 3, the apostle Paul shares some rules for holy living. The guidelines (or commands) he shares in this chapter set the boundaries for us. They tell us what is acceptable and what is not. If you haven\u2019t read this chapter lately, maybe you should.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But what I want to share with you are the words found in Colossians 3:4 (NIV). \u201cWhen Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jesus doesn\u2019t just give meaning to our life. This verse tells us that Christ is our life<\/strong>. I\u2019d say that constitutes everything, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is Jesus everything to you? Is He your life? Praise God if you said \u201cyes.\u201d If you said \u201cno,\u201d please let me share what it means for Jesus to be everything to you. It will be the best decision you\u2019ve ever made.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are at day eleven of Musical Musings in March. I have such a long list of song titles facing me each day that I am certain I could write April Arias, May Melodies, and June Jingles. But I will spare you. I promise March will be my musical month.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I still look forward to hearing of the music that has impacted your life. Don\u2019t be shy. Just drop me a line. I really would love to hear from you!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have a blessed Monday and work week. And keep on singing!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Donna<\/p>\n
