My Graduation

Well my grad was sooo much fun and amazing. It was a really special night not only cause there were Gr.8's graduating but three Gr.12 guys from our homeschool group as well. The one is going off to Newfoundland to become a doctor and the other is working in Niagara falls...so it was emotional for their parents and for some others. So that was cool....the one part I liked about the Gr.12 ceremony was that the father of one of the Gr.12 grads sang a solocalled "The Mission" sung by Steve Green.

THE MISSION
Words and music by Jon Mohr and Randall DennisCopyright 1989 Feed and Seed Music/J.R. Dennis Music. All rights reserved. International copyright secured. Used by permission.

There's a call going out
Across the land in every nation
A call to those who swear allegiance to the cross of Christ
A call to true humility, to live our live responsibly
To deepen our devotion to the cross at any price
Let us then be sober, moving only in the Spirit
As aliens and strangers in a hostile foreign land
The message we're proclaiming is repentance and forgiveness
The offer of salvation to a dying race of man

Chorus:To love the Lord our God
Is the heartbeat of our mission
The spring from which our service overflows
Across the street
Or around the world
The mission's still the same
Proclaim and live the Truth
In Jesus' name

As a candle is consumed by the passion of the flame
Spilling light unsparingly throughout a darkened room
Let us burn to know Him deeper
Then our service flaming bright
Will radiate his passions
And blaze with holy light

Chorus

It was so fitting and beautiful. I love the part "to love the Lord our God is the heartbeat of our mission." We are on a mission. I never really thought of it that way before. Now I'll post one picture. :D
