I don't want to climb a ladder I want to sit across a table Look into your eyes And commune with your heart No desire to scale a mountain But a garden, cultivate Be fruitful in strength and mercy Arms in jubilance with babes Sing into the midnight A lullaby of faith In God alone [...]
[REPOST] (This podcast is the most popular from THE WORSHIP LIFE) BUILDING YOUR HOUSE Have you ever considered that what you do as a mom is building your house?
