There is an old song called “One More Song” that I have always appreciated the lyrics to.?? Had this song on the brain this week in light of something Tanner said to me.<\/p>\n
A few months ago, our church made a decision to move the children out of our adult worship service and in to their own service.?? Change can be hard and most of us parents enjoyed having our little ones with us during the first part of the morning worship before they were dismissed for children’s church.?? However, I have to admit to a sense of relief when this decision was made.?? It is really tough to wrangle two boys while trying to worship.?? I have talked and talked to them about it but the bottom line is…our worship service was ministering to my heart but it wasn’t on their level. End result??? Mama couldn’t worship and neither could the boys.?? This change seemed to solve both issues.??<\/p>\n
The service change began while we were under house arrest with Tori so the boys have only been in the childrens worship service for a couple of weeks now.?? Last week on our way home from church Tanner said “Mommy I love church and I really love to sing now.”?? Wow!?? Throughout the week he asked me “when is it going to be Sunday?” and I heard him singing his heart out to the Christian radio in the car.?? One day I told him he had a very nice voice and he said “I know.?? I like to sing now”.?? Ty wants to play the guitar or the drums.?? :)?? Some of the children are taking part on the children’s worship team and that is inspiring too.<\/p>\n
Another awesome thing about this is that my brother, Daniel, is the children’s worship leader.?? He has such a sensitive heart towards the Lord and is so dedicated to teaching our children what worship is.?? I haven’t observed the children’s service to know what my brother is saying to my children but whatever it is…my kids are “hearing” him.?? The message is speaking through loud and clear in their??love for their own service.??<\/p>\n
The chief end of man is to glorify God and how better to do that then with our obedience and our worship.?? I have been so moved by the softening of Tanner’s heart towards worship.?? What was once a meaningless activity to him is now a meaningful expression – and he loves it.<\/p>\n

One More Song<\/p>\n
Sandy Patti<\/p>\n
CHORUS
\nAs long as there is time, and one breath left in me
\nThere will always be one more song for you
\nAnd as Long as there is room, for one more voice in praise
\nAnd a need, for a word of love and truth
\nTo help my brother through – there???ll be one more song for you<\/p>\n
VERSE
\nYou were there with your songs of laughter
\nWords of hope for my fears
\nBut what are songs when no one will sing them
\nWhat are words when no one hears.
\nThere were times Life became a question
\nWhen I asked, no one knew
\n???til I found the answer in you.<\/p>\n
CHORUS
\nAnd so, as long as there is time, and one breath left in me
\nThere will always be one more song for you
\nAnd as Long as there is room, for one more voice in praise
\nAnd a need, for a word of love and truth
\nTo help my brother through – there???ll be one more song for you<\/p>\n
VERSE
\nLove is in the air around me
\nhope abounds everywhere
\nLiving life in the arms of Jesus
\nLearning how to really care.
\nEveryday is filled with purpose
\nAll the old is made new
\nAnd I know I owe it all to you.<\/p>\n
CHORUS
\nAnd so, as long as there is time, and one breath left in me
\nThere will always be one more song for you
\nAnd as Long as there is room, for one more voice in praise
\nAnd a need, for a word of love and truth
\nTo help my brother through – there???ll be one more song for you<\/p>\n
And so, as long as there is time, and one breath left in me
\nThere will always be one more song for you
\nAnd as Long as there is room, for one more voice in praise
\nAnd a need, for a word of love and truth
\nTo help my brother and sister through
\nThere???ll be one more song for you<\/p>\n
