Note to God

I remember years ago when Macie, my Father's Mother, would take us to Church with her some Sundays. Her church was not like mine. The people were a different color, darker like my Dad. The singing was different, louder. The music there was hypnotizing. Her congregation sang with a conviction that made you want to clap and praise Him.

Sometimes Macie would say that she was having a going to church moment. I never really got it until tonight. Tonight I watched a 17 year old sing this song, Note to God, on Oprah.



The whole time Charice was singing there was a woman right in the front row that made my heart happy. She was dressed in red and I know it was her Sunday's best. I could see that the song made her heart sing too. She was standing and singing. Even though she did not know the words, she sang. This woman had her hands up in the air, swaying with the beat of the song. I think that she was having a going to church moment with me.


Note To God

If I wrote a note to God
I would speak whats in my soul
I'd ask for all the hate to be swept away,
For love to overflow
If I wrote a note to God
I'd pour my heart out on each page
I'd ask for war to end
For peace to mend this world
I'd say, I'd say, I'd say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we're on

If I wrote a note to God
I would say what on my mind
I'd ask for wisdom to let compassion rule this world
Until these times
If I wrote a note to God
I'd say please help us find our way
End all the bitterness, put some tenderness in our hearts
And I'd say, I'd say, I'd say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we're on

No, no no no
We can't do this on our own
So

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven't got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin' wrong
On this road we're on
