Love will be our home

There's a song stuck in my head for a long time. Thing is, I remember the tune and most of the lyrics to the song. But I can't remember exactly where I got it from. I remember this much though, I must have learned it sometime when I was in high school.

Since I had a little free time tonight, and the song is playing repeatedly in my head again, I decided to Google it. I found out that the song is "Love will be our home" by Sandi Patty.

Sandi Patty.

I remember now. Sandi Patty is a gospel singer and I used to love her songs when I was younger. I think I had a couple of her albums on cassette tapes (whatever happened to those, I wonder?).

Anyway, here are the lyrics to her song... the song that has been stuck in my head for over a decade:

Love will be our home

by: Sandi Patty

If home is really where the heart is

Then home must be a place that we all share

For even withour difference our hearts are much the same

And where love is we come together there.

Wherever there is laughter ringing

Someone smiling, someone dreaming

We can live together there

Love will be our home.

Where there are children singing

Where a tender heart is beating

We can live together there

Love will be our home

With love our hearts can be a family

And hope can bring this family face to face

And though we may be far apart our hearts can be as one

When love brings us together in one place.

Wherever there is laughter ringing

Someone smiling, someone dreaming

We can live together there

Love will be our home.

Where there are words of kindness spoken

Where a vow is never broken

We can live together there

Love will be our home

Love will, love will be our home (4x)

Motherhood 101: What do you think of nursery rhymes?

We bought Andrea a nursery rhymes CD a few months ago. But it was only recently when we put the CD on the car stereo to entertain Andrea during short trips that I noticed that some are a little... violent :-/

Some of the rhymes I know from my own childhood (i.e. think Jack and Jill with Jack breaking his head). Some I know I've heard but was never really too familiar with the words. Well, Andrea's CD came with a song book so now I can review those rhymes in detail:

1. Sing a Song of Sixpence

Sing a song of sixpence

A pocketful of rye;

Four and twenty blackbirds

Baked in a pie; (Janelle: eeeeew much???)

2. Three Blind Mice

Three blind mice (2x)

See how they run (2x)

They all ran after the farmer's wife

Who cut of their tails with a carving knife...

3. Five Little Ducks

Five little ducks went swimming one day

Over the pond and far away

Mother duck said "Quack! Quack! Quack!"

But only four little ducks came back.

(Janelle: Song continues until finally no little ducks came back... I'm wondering what to tell Andrea when she's old enough to ask whatever happened to the little ducks she likes so much)

4. Goosey, Goosey Gander

...There I met an old man

Who wouldn't say his prayers

So I took him by the left leg

And threw him down the stairs (Janelle: need I say more?)
