To Keep You Calm, Keep You Safe, Away from Harm
From Val --
Aaron wasn't a particularly religious person, but he did like the song, "Come to Jesus," by Mindy Smith. I knew about her from her remake of "Jolene" on the Dolly Parton tribute album that came out earlier this year, and saw her perform it with Dolly Parton on the Tonight Show. I'd seen the music video for "Come to Jesus" on the VH1 County cable channel, and found the song haunting -- but in a good way. Aaron did not listen to country music, so I was surprised to hear Smith's "Jesus" warbling out of his room one day. He told me the song was being played on Chicago's WXRT, which I found interesting -- again, in a good way.
It's impossible for me now to hear the song and not think of Aaron. It's haunting yet comforting yet still haunting, all at the same time. Definitely take a listen...
Mindy Smith, "Come to Jesus"
Oh, my baby, when you're older
Maybe then you'll understand
You have angels that stands around your shoulders
'Cause at times in life you need a helping hand
Oh, my baby, when you're prayin'
Leave your burden by my door
You have Jesus standing at your bedside
To keep you calm, keep you safe
Away from harm
Worry not my daughters
Worry not my sons
Child, when life don't seem worth livin'
Come to Jesus and let Him hold you in His arms
Oh, my baby, when you're cryin'
Never hide your face from me
I have conquered hell and driven out the demons
I have come with a life to set you free
Worry not my daughters
Worry not my sons
Child, when life don't seem worth livin'
Come to Jesus and let Him hold you in His arms
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, my baby, when you're dying
Believe the healing of His hand
Here in Heaven we will wait for your arrival
Here in Heaven you will finally understand
Here in Heaven we will wait for your arrival
Here in Heaven you will finally understand
Worry not my daughters
Worry not my sons
Child, when life don't seem worth livin'
Come to Jesus and let Him hold you in His arms
