A Page Is Turned...

Someone asked me the other day what the title of my blog means. I guess I'd never thought to explain it before. If I was more technologically inclined you'd be able to HEAR why I gave it this name each time you read. How DO you add music to your blog? Anyone???

When I was in high school I spent some time with a friend who loved Bebo Norman. He's a Christian artist who I had never heard of until around the tenth grade. I bought Ten Thousand Days and really fell in love with several of the songs. I must've really liked the CD because it's incredibly worn out now. There was a song on the CD called "A Page is Turned" that I told myself I'd have sung on my wedding day.

Fast-forward about eight years to my wedding-planning days and I remembered the song. I hadn't heard it in years but I remembered it, downloaded it, and fell in love all over again. I had Stan Smith sing it at our wedding. Even though most people hadn't ever heard of it, I had plenty of compliments on what a beautiful song we'd picked. So here you go...the lyrics for "A Page is Turned."

A page is turned by the wind to a boy in curly grin
With a world to conquer at the age of ten
But as history unfolds and the storybook is told
He finds salvation but not at the hands of man
And the God of second chance
Picked him up and He let him dance
Through a world that is not kind
And all this time, preparing him, the one
To hold him up when he comes undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And now a man, here you stand
Your day has come

A page is turned in this world to reveal a little girl
With a heart that's bigger, as it is unfurled
By the language in her soul, that's teaching her to grow
With a careful cover of love that will not fail
And the God of second chance
Picked her up and He let her dance
Through a world that isn't kind
And all this time, preparing her the one
To hold her up when she comes undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And grown up tall, here you are
Your day has come

Beneath the air of autumn, she took him by his hand
And warm within the ardor, she took his heart instead
And high upon the mountain, he asked her for her hand
Just for her hand
A page is turned in this life, he's making her his wife
And there is no secret to the source of this much life
When the grace that falls like rain is washing them again
Just a chance to somehow rise above this land
Where the God of second chance
Will pick them up and he'll let them dance
Through a world that is not kind
And all this time, they're sharing with the one
That holds them up when they come undone
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun
And once again, here you stand
And once again, here you stand
Your day has come.
