Mondays on Mothering - Lullabies
Posted in Mondays on Mothering
|
I just love to rock a baby or toddler. It can be difficult to find quiet time around here during the day, but the rule is not to bother Mommy while she's putting the baby to sleep! I think it's such a great opportunity to pray and sing a praise song, in place of old-fasioned lullabies. It really helps me to stay focused on the Lord and have His peace in our home. And please don't ask me to watch your baby and lay him down while he's awake or let him cry it out; I just can't do it! The current song we're rocking to is "Holy and Anointed One," lyrics by John Barnett; I have it here at my blog.
Jesus, Jesus
Holy and anointed One
Jesus
Jesus, Jesus
Risen and exalted One
Jesus
Your name is like honey on my lips
Your Spirit like water to my soul
Your Word is a lamp unto my feet
Jesus, I love you, I love you
For the last two girls our main "lullaby" was a favorite of our Bible study teacher's wife. She shared how it ministered to her when it rained after their house fire.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
There's just something about that name
Master, Savior, Jesus
Like the fragrance after the rain
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Let all heaven and earth proclaim
Kings and kingdoms will all pass away
But there's just something about that name
I also like to sing "I Love You, Lord" by Laurie Klein:
I love You Lord
and I lift my voice
To worship You
O my soul, rejoice!
Take joy, my King
in what you hear
May it be a sweet, sweet sound
in Your ear.

Post your own Mondays on Mothering (a meme for you), telling what you enjoy about mothering, then link back to Bow of Bronze. Maybe I'll get mine done on Monday, one of these days!
Blessings, Danielle

I love those hymns! I remember singing them as a little girl and imagining Jesus through them!
I have thought about taking up jewelry making, but haven't really looked into it. I am sure I could come up with some beautiful pieces though... are you looking to invest or partnership? LOL!

I agree with you on not letting the baby scream itself to sleep... what kind of peace is that?
LOL - and *I* remember don't both Danielle when she's putting the baby to sleep. :)
