i'll never forget

for week 1 when we stayed out in the condos and we had to take a bus everyday to and from work. once we were in camp, we were there to stay. the walk was 20-30 minutes. after our second day we had been working really hard and had an incredible fellowship time together of bonding, sharing and receiving Christ's love, we came outside to find no bus to take us home. it was dark, it was late and we were tired. Nights in the Canyon in the summer are incredible. The blistering hot sun has gone away but the ground is left with the warmth from the day, the sky is clearer than you ever knew it could be and there is such a peace that rings through the valleys. We took this as another great opportunity to bond and share a moment together as a work crew. so we walked home. along the way we decide to learn the song we were going to sing for our workcrew presentation which was Prince of Peace. I knew this song from campaigner camp and had loved it. The girls sing one verse as the boys sing another simultaneously. The sound is beautiful and both verses are filled with great words. No one else knew this song; so on our walk home, I taught it to all the girls. We sang it over and over and over again, with our backpacks on (cause they always have our back).

You are Lord of Lords
You are King of Kings
You are mighty God
Lord of Everything
You're Emanuel
You're the Great
You're the Prince of Peace
Who is the Lamb
You're my living God
You're my saving grace
You will reign forever
You are ancient of days
You are alpha, omega, beginning and end
You're my savior, messiah, redeemer and friend


You're my Prince of Peace
And I will live my life for You
