Those kids are getting on into their teenage years by now. I hope all goes well with them. Life can certainly throw us some rocks in the snowballs sometimes. Good Mom and Dad right there, too. Keeping the Christian Faith alive in these times of confusion and chaos and where the Gospel and Politics have become so enmeshed and intertwined that you can't tell one from the other or a preacher from a politician. Yep, keeping the Christian Faith alive in the simplest and most effective way: giving it to your children. That's the way it's been done for 2,000 years, person to person, family by family, generation by generation. It's one of God's greatest and sweetest miracles. Fills your heart with joy and hope.
Sometimes people just don't capture the magic of some of these older special songs but you guys really nailed that feeling that makes it such a special song.
Kiss me mother kiss your darlin' Lay my head upon your breast Throw your loving arms around me I am weary let me rest Seems the light is swiftly fading Brighter scenes they do now show I am standing by the river Angels wait to take me home Kiss me mother kiss your darlin' See the pain upon my brow While I'll soon be with the angels Fate has doomed my future now Through the years you've always loved me And my life you've tried to save But now I shall slumber sweetly In a deep and lonely grave Kiss me mother kiss your darlin' Lay my head upon your breast Throw your loving arms around me I am weary let me rest I am weary let me rest
