Track 3

Hello friends,

First of all I must say that the responses that we have received have been incredibly moving. There is something special about the personal connection that can be attached to a song that is just powerful. We already felt an amazing outpouring of love from so many family and friends, we didn't realize how magnified something like this could make it.

Today's track was one of the first responses we received, after the first post, from Katie's mom. Here is what she wrote:

Just read your message. Think we are sharing some of the same feelings regarding music love. Had just said prayers for you and Katie and Noble to know God's love, peace and joy. Crying also with so much gratitude for you and your gentle caring spirit and the happiness you give Katie and will give Noble.
One song I love is Morning Has Broken. I played it on the piano a lot when Katie and Cris were little. I would like to add that to Noble's playlist.
Think we all agree about the power of music. Love you all!


This morning we had this blissful time around 5am. Katie had been awake with Noble reading in his room to him and then she came back to bed. He had fallen asleep and she was going to try to get some rest too. I heard him stirring, like he was uncomfortable and I realized that that he was a little cold. I picked him up and put my right hand on his head and my left hand on the core of his body. Pretty quickly he settled into a deep sound sleep. Eventually, we all had a good snooze, my hands never leaving his head and his body. It was just wonderful. Around 8:00 Katie and I started stirring and from our bedroom window we could see the beginning of the day taking shape in the trees.

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dew fall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the One Light Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning

Praise for them springing fresh from the Word

It was perfect and beautiful.
