I
can’t believe I forgot to post our song on my own blog! RESTORE THEM TO YOU.
Praise
the Lord for His lyrics and much thanks to Steven Scheffler for his voice,
melody and servant's heart to Bill and me, throughout our life.
Dedicated
to the praying moms at Somebody's Mother Online Prayer Support Group and to
WAPN 91.5 PRAYERLINE. Steve Scheffler produced, sang and did background to the
video.
Here
are Steve’s words as a bit of backstory: "So, a good, good friend that I've
known for many years asked me if I would put a poem of hers to music. I read the poem and gave her the thumbs up at
giving this a try.
The
song is about mother's who have children that are lost and living lives that
are dangerous and problematic filled!
Donna Tinsley has really been through some tough stuff with her own
children, but also with her children's children. She continues to fight the good fight of
faith in believing that God is more than capable of bringing all those children
into the Lord.
As
Christian parents we will sometimes have to walk with prodigal children, those
who deny the faith and live lives contrary to what God planned for us in Christ
Jesus. What to do? Prayer continually and believe God to do a
work that only He can do. My daughter
Corrie is a testament to that happening.
She has really become a bright and beautiful saint of God. Her faith is contagious!! More than Covid 19 ever will be! She is a
product of God's calling, drawing and transforming.
The
video is a tough one to watch. It is
Donna Tinsley's desire that this song and video will encourage you to continue
to pray for your lost children. To
believe that God still has a plan for their lives even though they seem to
rebel against the idea. God is still
able to draw all to Himself through the work and love of Christ Jesus.
Perhaps
this song will ignite a greater zeal in those who see and hear it to pray all
the more and believe God to restore not only our children to us, but also the
many saints who have left the faith in the years I've been a Christian. Bill Tinsley felt that the song was very much
geared towards the many children of God who have left the faith. I concur it could easily be translated into
that thinking as well.
In
any case, I pray that this song of Donna Tinsley's will stir the hearts and
minds of many to believe that God can indeed still save our wayward
children. Remember that "Salvation
belongs to the LORD!" We can't save
them, but He can!!
We
believe for a miracle Lord, bring your children home to You! Love and peace to all."Steve Scheffler
