In my prayers

So, when I was in Ontario this summer, we were visiting a lot of family, it was amazing, I got to meet a lot of people that I've either never met, or haven't seen since I was 4, so it was really cool. We were in london and we were visiting my moms aunt and uncle (who, by the way are like...in their mid-70's), and their son and his wife came over and we had a grand 'ole time. Then we're sitting there having tea and coffee, and I looked over by the stairs and see this little head peak up. And he left, and then a little girl came up the stairs, it was there foster kids. So I went down and played with them. The little boy had bald patches all over his head, so I was a little confused. They we're absolutely adorable children. They had a 6 month old baby, but my moms aunt and uncle were really of no age to have a baby that young in the house. The baby was taken right from the mom at birth.

I left their house in tears because I knew that I would never see them again. They are very special kids. The little boy wouldn't come near me for a while, then when his sister started playing with me, he started to warm up again. But then when I told them I had to leave soon his response was "when are you coming back?" and it broke my heart because I knew that I wasn't going back to see them. Those kids have had so many foster families, so many people who are only there to play with for a little while and then they leave and no one ever bothers with them again. I saw in his eyes when I told him that I didn't think I could come back that he was disapointed, for the billionth time.

When we left I found out that the bald spots on his head were there because, when he found out that he had to leave his previous foster home, he pulled out his hair, I guess it was a way to relieve anger. But it breaks my heart everytime I think about it. They are very special kids and I wish I could see them again. I think they will always hold a special place in my heart, even though I only knew them for a couple hours.

Hosanna

Verse 1
I see the king of glory
Coming down the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes, the whole earth shakes
I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing, the people sing

Chorus
Hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna in the highest

Verse 2
I see a generation
Rising up to take the place
With selfless faith, with selfless faith
I see a new revival
Staring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees, we're on our knees

Bridge
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what is yours
Everything I am for your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

Hosanna

Look up, say your prayers

Look at you now, just standing there like you think you’re something.
The lights are up and the crowd is looking your way.
Waiting for what you have to say.
Go ahead boy give them a little taste of hypocrisy, maybe a hint of blasphemy.
Whatever you’re preaching it isn’t me.
You wanna walk with me, do ya?
You wanna walk with me.
If you love me then just love me, don’t you give me pretty words.
Lay your life down at the altar.
Let me see how serious you are.
These people don’t look to me no more they’ve got their idols in various forms.
With lust in their eyes they crave for more.
Take their place with the corporate carnivores.
Oh, keep your focus for the day will come when everyone will give account for what they’ve done; make me proud.
Make me proud my son.
Look at this broken world; look at my children.
Get ready go; sing to me the right song.
Look up say your prayers on the steps of the capitol.
Look up say your prayers, on your knees.
Look up say your prayers.
Look up say your prayers.
You wanted it to be like you always thought it would but all you seem to accomplish is the
opposite.
