Somewhere over the rainbowWay up highThere's a land that i heard ofOnce of in a lullabySomewhere over the rainbowSkies are blueAnd the dreams that you dare to dreamReally do come trueSomeday i'll wish upon a starAnd wake up where the clouds are far behind meWhere troubles melt like lemon drops And way above the chimney tops That's where you'll find meSomewhere over the rainbowBluebirds flyBirds fly over the rainbowWhy then oh why can't i?Love this song...been with me since young, and it always brought me happy things. But more than a simple song that makes you believe in the power of wishes, now it speaks more to me.
The world is full of incomplete things, full of things that (pardon me) will simply leave us spent. But God has provided for us. He will provide. That place over the rainbow isn't all that far away. It's really only a trust away.
Faith is being sure of what we do not know and certain of what we do not see. Do we trust that God will provide whatever we need? Songs like this bring hope, bring something that we can look forward to. But as much as that something is not yet here, your hope and faith must be placed in something, some
one, that can last...else you'll end up distressing yourself and fretting over something that doesn't exist (believe me, i'd know).
Father, take my dreams. Take my hopes, take my wishes, take my endeavours...and use them for Your own. Help us to trust that you will provide. Help us to seek you first and listen to your voice. Help us to gaze up once again at Your light. Help us to stop our spinning...grant us sight.
