::Remembering Virginia Tech::

I heard on the news that the students were allowed to return to the Virginia Tech campus for classes today after the deadly shootings that occured on campus, just one week ago. I can't even begin to imagine what they are going through, as it is such a great loss. I was touched by a glimpse of what they are feeling in their hearts. On the sidewalks on the campus of Virginia Tech-- the students have placed band aids, as a symbolic reminder of how they (and America too) are hurting and need of healing.

I ran across this song that is appropriate in memory of the lost lives of Virginia Tech. You can find the audio on my profile page on Myspace: www.myspace.com/blessed2you

Wish You Were Here
Mark Harris

I wanted to tell you how closely I've kept
The memories of you in my heart
And all of the lifetimes that we had to share
Live even though we're apart
But don't cry for me
'Cause I'm finally free

(Chorus)
To run with the angels
On streets made of gold
To listen to stories of saints new and old
To worship our Maker
That's where I'll be
When you finally find me

No don't you be weary cause waiting for you
Are wonders that you've never known
Just hold on to Jesus, reach out for his hands
And one day
They'll welcome you home
And that's when you'll be
Finally free
Finally free

(Chorus)
I wish you were here, I wish you were here
And all of the dreams that you treasure
Will soon come together
And that's when your sorrow will find tomorrow
And you will rise again

(Chorus)
We'll run with the angels on streets made of gold
We'll listen to stories of saints new and old
We'll worship our maker that's where we'll be
When you finally find me
I wish you were here
