OMG i am like crying my eyes out today was the seniors(in highschool) last day i was soooooooooo close to them. at lunch when they were leaving for the very last time i was crying like for 20 min

i did not make that up

Great piece! I thought the dad was going to die, felt like one of perhaps three chapters. Nice touch at the end of dad recalling daughter running toward him as a young girl. Could be a movie?

MARK: yes!

it could be a movie

KATE: mark. oh my gosh:

I love MWS! I learned english translating his songs! and this one is so touchfull to me because I just leave my family to go to the college...amazing song, I'm in tears

MARK: This song was the highlight of this concert. I was there - don't show up on the video though  - and the connection we felt with each other during this song was palpable. For that time - we truly were one.

KATE: Michael, I've been there done that still wear the hat from last year. I loved this piece because it spoke my heart truely through your brilliance of song writing. Thanks again for being a tool for God. Keep on keeping on Mike for God's Glory!

what a great song!!! a love song for the lord to touch our hearts with his love and to cry to him!!!! God is love.. a cry for love and to have him to heal our hearts that we may love like he does to be filled overflowing with his love that we may over pour his love to the lost and needy !!!

I never thought about it that way, but you have a point. I am curious though. What is the difference between a religious dellusion, and visons like the ones the prophets in the Bible had? I'm not trying to be argumentative. I just really want to know.

MARK: the "friends" comments are great too

this song and a friend named skip saved my life from a drug overdose one night in about 1992 he thought I was gay becasue I wanted to be if he only knew the truth God made me for a purpose maybe that purpose was to bring him to his wife but i havent sceen him sence that night he broke my heart and noone has been able to fix it............thank God Jesus never left me

KATE: let's make a blog post with all these comments

MARK: we should

KATE: i am opening one now

MARK: you have to link to the BWE thing

KATE: bwe?
