A very big thank you to Noel Piper for pointing me to Monday’s posting at Worship Matters: Resources for Leading Worship by Bob Kauflin.
His blog posting was Song for Those with Disabilities.
Please pause right now and listen to it: Song for Those with Disabilities – by Bob Kauflin
Here are the words:
Within the womb I formed you
I fashioned and made each part
I thought of your fingers, your hands and your feet
Your mouth, your lungs, your heart
Though you might think that you’re different
I made you the way that you are
So you could discover the God who made you
And find out all I am
And though you might think you have limitations
There are no limits with me
When you turn your eyes to my salvation
Finally you will see
In Me, you have all that you need
In Me, you have all that you need
In Me, you have all that you’ll ever need.
And I’ve heard each prayer that you’ve called out
“Why did you make me this way?”
You may not completely understand now
But there will be a day
When I make everything known to you
And what you don’t now understand
You will see that I’m wise and I’m mighty and good
Just like all my plans
And if you trust in the work of my Son
One day you will see
That I’ve made you the way you are
To draw your heart to me
To draw your heart to me.
Please forward around to let more people know about this beautiful statement about God and disability set to music.
Thank you, Lord, for giving Bob Kauflin this beautiful song full of Bible and affections for you!
So beautiful! As a parent of a yet undiagnosed little girl with many delays, I felt God speaking to me with these words. He is indeed drawing the hearts in our family to Him! Thank you so much for sharing this.
And a big “THANK YOU” for the books we received! We have given them all away, except for one. Time to order some more! 🙂
John –
Thanks so much for highlighting this! I missed a bunch of blogs while we were in Oregon and I would have hated to miss this!!
[…] year, when Bob Kauflin wrote his Song for those with Disabilities, I think I cried every time I heard it for months. Actually, I still tear up when it starts […]
