My amazing cousin Mike Janzen was the musical guest at the Harvest Festival banquet on Friday. He is pretty much my piano hero. I sit in awe as I watch his hands move faster than I am capable of moving my hands, and somehow every note they strike sounds beautiful. Mike is also amazing because he has a wonderful heart for Jesus, and for trying to find out what it means to follow him. This is a song that he wrote that I like a lot.
Defender
To bless the poor with us
To feed the hungry ones
This is what You have taught us
To give as you have giv'n
To bring the orphans in
Is what You've commanded
Yet I am also poor in love
I need You Lord to fill me up
Defender of the poor
Restorer of the broken
Release for the oppressed
A shelter for the homeless
Is this not what it means
To know You, Lord of all
Is this not what's required to
Worship You above
To care for those in need
To set the captives free
To love as You showed us
To leave the harvest fields
For those without to eat
To tell of Your favour
Yet I am also poor in love
I need You Lord to fill me up
Defender of the poor
Restorer of the broken
Release for the oppressed
A shelter for the homeless
Is this not what it means
To know You, Lord of all
Is this not what's required to
Worship You above

As anyone who reads this blog will probably discover, I am not a writer. I don't even know if I would consider myself much of a deep thinker. And so a blog seems like a silly thing to create. Well, one thing that I am is silly. So maybe this is perfectly in character for me.
ME!
