This has been running through my head the last few days. In case anyone else needs a reminder, here's "In the Name" by Jennifer Knapp.
All these years, too many ahead to think clear.
Some say, 'Where's my crystal ball?'
Some men play the lottery
Makin' bets against the government's economy.
They say, 'I'd rather be rich than be alive at all.'
When men in miry circumstances fall,
It won't be hard to tell where they placed their resolve.
Some trust in chariots,
But we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
'To each his own' won't lead you home
And probably never will.
I won't trust in the things I do.
They will not stand; they won't come through.
So I'll trust in the name of the Lord my God,
I'll trust in the name.
Picket fences may build our defense,
In domestic wars of leisure suits.
That's OK, it doesn't bother me.
You can hold onto your philosophy
Of 'What's mine is mine, what's yours is yours'
But what's the truth?
When the walls do crumble and they fall,
It won't be hard to tell where we place our resolve.
Some trust in chariots,
But we trust in the name of the Lord our God.
To each his own won't lead you home
And probably never will.
I won't trust in the things I do.
They will not stand; they won't come through.
So I'll trust in the name of the Lord my God
I'll trust in the name...
When the walls do crumble
And what will I find to hold on to
That's stronger than my Jesus?
Sing hallelujah...hallelujah…

I love the way songs are always on your mind. That's a good one!
Hey gardner, how do you keep neighbor cats or your own cats out of your pansies?
Do you have ESP? I just finished planting some. My cats don't bother them. Chipmunks sometimes do get in some of the bulbs though, like tulips and daffodils, that I have. If so, crocus are a great deterrent.
love your post and this song! I miss jennifer knappy-head! where did she go!?
