I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise will continually be in my mouth.


... a song written by Marsha Stevens-Pino

You said You'd come, and share all my sorrows
You said You'd be there for all my tomorrows
I came so close to sending you away
But just like you promised, you came here to stay
I just had to pray

Your goodness so great, I can't understand
But dear Lord I know that all this was planned
I know You're here now and always will be
Your love loosed my chains and in You I'm free
But Jesus why me?

Jesus I give You my heart and my soul
And I know now, that without God, I'd never be whole
Savior You've opened all the right doors
And I thank You and praise You from earth's humble shores
Take me, I'm Yours

...and Jesus said come to the water, stand by My side
I know you are thirsty, you won't be denied
I felt every tear drop, when in darkness you've cried
And I strove to remind you, that for those tears I died.


a word about Marsha... from Mark Allan Powell from an article for Christian Century Magazine in 1999...
Stevens-Pino became "conservative Christianity's worst nightmare - a Jesus-loving, Bible-believing, God-fearing lesbian Christian."

yeah.... I like that.
