HEADS - "Reason"
SO I posted this video of my daughter Brandy singing
"As Far as the East is from the West" by Casting Crowns...
She was the REASON I sat there and balled like a baby--on the stage right behind her--in front of the whole audience the entire time she sang.....
Oh...and did I mention, that I had to sing right after that?? LOL!
Here I am Lord and I'm drowning
In your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest
I don't want to end up where you found me
And it echoes in my mind
Keeps me awake tonight
I know you've cast my sins as far
As the East is from the West
And I stand before you now
As though I've never sinned but today
I feel like I'm just one mistake away
From you leaving me this way
Jesus can you show me
Just how far the East is from the West
Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
Come rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West
From one scar[r]ed hand to the other
I start the day the war begins
Endless reminding of my sin
Time and time again
Your [T]ruth is drowned out by the storm I'm in
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
From you leaving me this way
Jesus can you show me
Just how far the East is from the West
Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
Come rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West
From one scar[r]ed hand to the other
I know you've washed me white
Turned my darkness into light
I need your peace to get me through
To get me through this night
I can't live by what I feel
But by the truth your word reveals
I'm not holding on to you
But your holding on to me
Your holding on to me
Jesus, you know just how far
The East is from the West
I don't have to see the man I've been
Come rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest
(The arms of your mercy I find rest)
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West
From one scar[r]ed hand to the other(x2)
(Just how far, the East is from the West) (x3)
From one scarred hand to the other

I can see why you got all emotional. She's lovely and has such a sweet and pure singing voice. Reminds me a bit of Taylor Swift, if you know who that is.
Next time I want to see you singing.
I love this song, and your daughter sang it beautifully! I can understand why you get all teary eyed. ;-)
We moms have every right to tear up. This was beautiful.
Wow. That is powerful! Thanks for sharing your beautiful daughter's song with us.
this is a great post. i know the reason why you become emotional.
You're daughter sings well and has a pretty voice. I don't think I'd have the nerve to get up in front of an audience like that lol.
I'm going to have to come back here tonight after I'm off work to see/hear the video. I love CC... and from what others have written here your daughter must have a great voice.
Absolutely beautiful!
