So, I have been wanting to put the song "Somewhere" on my blog. That would be appropriate, wouldn't it? Well, wouldn't you know the only song of Rich's that is not available, is "Somewhere" I will have DH look into it, I have to have it. That was the only song I was going to put up. Until I started listening to the ones that are available. Those of you who understand what his music does to those of us with broken hearts, longing to hear what he hears, will understand that it wasn't too difficult to chose a few alternatives. I could put a lot more up, however to me, it is important to have very few songs that are able to soak into my soul and my heart. That would be the reason why I only have 13 songs on my MP3 player. I know, freaky, huh? How do people ever "get into" the soul of the artist when they have 1300 songs on their MP3's. Maybe, only Rich's soul is able to be "got into".

Here is the chorus to another favorite on my playlist

If I stand

THE STUFF OF EARTH COMPETES FOR THE ALLEGIANCE
I OWE ONLY TO THE GIVER OF ALL GOOD THINGS

        
SO IF I STAND LET ME STAND ON THE PROMISE THAT YOU WILL PULL ME THROUGH
         
AND IF I CAN'T LET ME FALL ON THE GRACE THAT FIRST BROUGHT ME TO YOU
                 
IF I SING LET ME SING FOR THE JOY THAT HAS BORN IN ME THESE SONGS             
       
BUT IF I WEEP LET IT BE AS A MAN WHO IS LONGING FOR HIS HOME

I AM longing for my home. Until then, I miss you Rich.
