here they are:

I’ll never have the power to control the land

Or conquer half the world

Or claim the sun

I’ll never be the kind who simply waves her hand

And has a million people do

The things I wish I’d done

But in the eyes of Heaven

My place is assured

I carry with me heaven’s grand design

Gloria, gloria I will sing the name of the Lord

And He will make me shine

And I will be like Mother Mary

With a blessing in my soul

And I will give the world my eyes

So they can see

And I will be like Mother Mary

With a blessing in my soul

And the future of the world inside of me

In the eyes of Heaven

My place is assured

I carry with me heaven’s grand design

Gloria, gloria I will sing the name of the Lord

And He will make me shine

And I will be like Mother Mary

With the power in my veins

To believe in all the things

I’ve yet to be

And I will be like Mother Mary

And I’ll suffer any pains

For the future of the world

For the future of the world

Inside of me…

 

that is all…

i dont know about you and your reading habits, but for me, this is a record…

anyway, i was excited!  and here is what i read…Dear John, by Nicolas Sparks…

 a sappy love novel…of course!

anyway, i looked at all of the books i have read by him, and i have only two left to read…weird!  i never took myself for an avid reader of one author!  i guess things change when you get older…
