We had an amazing District conference for our Jail/Prison district. We are so blessed to serve as missionaries here. The conference was filled with really vulnerable stories of people that had one life of drugs, or prostitution, or abuse or addiction and then turned to God and now have another life filled with Jesus and the gospel. Truly so marvelous. God is good! ONe man named Mikey has written new lyrics to the song, "Because I have been given much" and sang to us with all of his heart. His eyes were closed as he sang and emoted and it was stunning. Here are the words:
Michael Patience's song at District Conference
Because I have been given much, I too must give
Because of thy great mercy Lord this day I live.
I can't deny your love for me,
Sweet tender mercies that I see
I humbly give my will to Thee
Because I have been given friends who love and care
A place where I can go and feel your spirit there
Because my Savior's love for me
Returned me to my family
From bondage I have been set free
Because I have been given much I sing for you
To look into your eyes is one more dream come true
I can't deny His love for me
All of this beauty that I see
Right here is where I choose to be
Right here is where I choose to be
