Post 13: Favorite lyrics to a song

When the stars burn down and the earth wears out
And we stand before the throne
With the witnesses who have gone before
We will rise and all applaud
Singing blessing and honor, glory and power
Forever to our God




The words in bold are lyrics from a song by Gospel artists, Phillips, Craig and Dean.  The name of the song is When the Stars Burn Down.  Everytime I hear that line in the song it stirs up many emotions in me and gives me a sense of peace and excitement at the same time.  It is a song that touches me.

That happens in modern families also.
