If tomorrow is Judgment Day
And the Lord asks me what I did with my life
I will say I spent it with you
Yesterday, Saturday 3:55pm PST, one of the world's best female vocalists Whitney Houston passed away at 48 years old. Initially, my reaction was of shock & awe. Denying the validity, thinking this can't be true...unfortunately, it was true.
Whitney is a musical icon. She was blessed with a moving and powerful voice. She was beautiful, talented, loving, and human. Despite her struggles and tribulations, the doubts and frustrations, she shared her gifted voice with the world and I am grateful to have enjoyed it.
As the years they pass us by,
We stay young through each other's eyes
And no matter how old we get
It's okay as long as I got you baby
We stay young through each other's eyes
And no matter how old we get
It's okay as long as I got you baby
I pray that I will be blessed to see another day and have the opportunity to share Whitney's gifts with future generations. People may say whatever they want about her; the truth is NONE of them who speak negatively about her actually knew her. I didn't know her personally, she never her inner life with her fans, the only thing she shared was her voice and we all must remember that.
'Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn't hold us
God, I ask you to bless Whitney's soul. I pray you welcome her into your kingdom, enjoy her voice as she joins in singing your praises and forgive her of her transgressions.
We all are guilty and unworthy of God's love & grace, but He still sees His glory in us and blesses us with the life we have to cherish. I ask us to be grateful, appreciative, and loving to each other as none of us is promised to see a new day. Whitney never got the chance to see today's sun, but her love is my love...music.
Love,
MJ
