For Good

Life is so precious. I find that with the daily grind of life that I forget to stop and let others know that I am thinking of them or praying for them. I am so busy with the little things that I have over looked a big thing! I am often in my car when people will come to mind and I will just lift them up in prayer. I may be somewhere when a memory of someone comes to mind and it is greeted by a smile. With a double funeral fresh under our belt this week I want to take a moment and remind you that you are precious to me. We may talk once a year or once a day… regardless you are a blessing. I think of you, I love you, and I lift you up in prayer. You can ALWAYS know that because I knew you, I have been changed for good.

This is a song that I fell in love with when I first and saw Wicked. If you scroll down to the music at the bottom of this page you can listen to the song as you read these precious words. Just click on For Good - Wicked

For Good - Wicked

I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
I know I am who I am today
Because I knew you...

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes the sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
Because I knew you
I have been changed for good

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a hand print on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend...

Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
Because I knew you
Because I knew you
I have been changed for good

And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
And none of it seems to matter anymore

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes the sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been
Changed for the better?
I do believe I have been
Changed for the better

Because I knew you...
Because I knew you...
Because I knew you...
I have been changed
For good
